Abstract:
1. Film forming equipment comprising: an object conveyor for holding an object, the object conveyor having a structure providing shifting movement, reciprocating movement thereto, direction of reciprocating movement being different from that of shifting movement, and shifting movement for sequentially conducting partial layer coatings in the direction different from that of the shifting movement and that of the reciprocating movement; a spray gun conveyor for holding a spray gun that sprays a coating material, the spray gun conveyor having a structure at least providing shifting movement to the spray gun; and a controller connected to the object conveyor, the spray gun, and the spray gun conveyor configured to control operations of the object conveyor, the spray gun, and the spray gun conveyor, wherein, while spraying a coating material from the spray gun, the controller configured to operate the object conveyor so that the object is moved in a shifting direction for sequentially conducting partial layer coatings in a reciprocating direction whereby so that partial layer coatings can be sequentially conducted, and the controller is configured to move a location of the object together with the spray gun in a shifting direction by operating the object conveyor and spray gun conveyor while keeping the relative positions of the object and the spray gun to each other constant.
