ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for manipulating and controlling the movement of a tool, and specifically a spray gun, through a plurality of predetermined motions. The apparatus includes, in a preferred form, a rectangular frame having crossing supporting rods extending between opposite frame members. A mounting member is slidably mounted on crossing portions of the rods with the spray gun carried thereby. The spray gun is connected to the mounting member in a manner such that it can be moved toward and away from the mounting member in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the frame. The spray gun can also be pivotally moved on a first axis which is parallel to the plane of the frame and pivotally moved on a second axis which can also be parallel to the frame and perpendicular to the first axis. The connecting means also enables at least a spray head of the spray gun, if not the whole spray gun, to be pivotally moved about an axis which is perpendicular to one of the aforesaid two axes. Drive means comprising cables and fluid-operated power means are provided for effecting the aforesaid four movements of the spray gun. A new control system for driving the supporting rods in the frame is also provided, including fluid valves, fluid power means and feedback cables. A unique speed control system is also included.
