ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for coating a workpiece such as a printed circuit board. Boards are arranged in closely spaced fashion upon a conveyor having an adjustable drive. A spray assembly for providing a low pressure spray having a substantially oval-shaped spray pattern is arranged upon guide tracks and moves in a reciprocating fashion in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the conveyor. The speed of movement of the spray head and the extreme ends of the range of movement are adjustable by controlling the operation of a drive motor to create a substantially Z-shaped spray pattern on the workpiece with the size of the Z-shaped pattern being a function of the conveyor speed spray head assembly, drive speed and range of movement of the spray head assembly. Control may be exerted by a microprocessor based computer system receiving input information regarding size of workpiece, thickness of coating and the like for automatically controlling the conveyor motor and the spray assembly motor thus further simplifying the speed and ease of setup changes as well as significantly reducing waste of coating material and the like.
