Abstract:
A coating system, comprising:a movable arm; at least one coating applicator coupled with respect to the movable arm; a first actuator for providing motion to the movable arm; a computer controller for controlling the first actuator, wherein the computer controller includes a processor, and the computer controller is operatively coupled to the first actuator; a first data representing at least one of stroke length, stroke center point; and stroke speed of the movable arm; a computer program executed by the processor to cause the computer controller to dynamically command the first actuator to change at least one of stroke length, stroke center point, and stroke speed of the movable arm based on the first data; a second data representing a number of cycles of the movable arm, wherein the second data is associated with the first data; and a storage means for storing data, wherein the storage means accommodates multiple instances of the first data and the second data, and the computer program executed by the processor causes the computer controller to command the first actuator to sequentially change at least one of stroke length, stroke center point, and stroke speed of the movable arm upon the movable arm completing the number of cycles in the associated second data.
