Claim:
1. A method for the surface treatment of articles in a treatment chamber, comprising the steps: conveying the articles into the treatment chamber, through the treatment chamber along a conveying path, and out of the treatment chamber, during which in any position on the conveying path the articles each determine a direction of conveying that is tangential to the conveying path; providing at least one multiple-axis application robot which includes an application means and which travels along a robot movement path, wherein the at least one application robot selectively travels with a movement component parallel to the direction of conveying the article or a movement component perpendicular to the direction of the conveying article, wherein the selective movement component of the at least one application robot relative to the conveying direction is determined by a selection of one of multiple conveying paths for an article when entering the treatment chamber, and the selection of which of the multiple conveying paths for the article when entering the treatment chamber is determined based upon an orientation of the article.
