Abstract:
1. A method for determining spraying parameters for controlling a paint-spraying apparatus using a spraying agent, the method comprising: providing a known spray pattern of which spraying parameters using a first spraying agent has been known, simulating a provisional spray pattern by a computing means based on the known spraying parameters and the characteristics of a second spraying agent, iteratively altering by the computing means the known spraying parameters in order to acquire changed spraying parameters which yield a further spray pattern, altering the changed spraying parameters to the point where the further spray pattern is similar to the known spray pattern within a similarity criterion, and providing the changed spraying parameters corresponding to the further spray pattern as spraying parameters for the second spraying agent to the paint-spraying apparatus when the second spraying agent is used, wherein the spraying parameters comprise a plurality of air currents which influence the spraying behaviour of the paint-spraying apparatus.
