ABSTRACT:
A spray painting apparatus and methodology. A plurality of parts are loaded onto a carrier at circumferentially spaced locations about a central spin axis of the carrier whereafter the carrier is moved in indexing fashion to a spray station where drive means engage the carrier to spin the carrier about its spin axis while a spray gun assembly is moved up and down in reciprocal fashion parallel to the spin axis. The parts are mounted on the carrier in a fashion to simulate impellers which have the effect of sucking air into the center region of the carrier to augment painting of the interior surfaces of the parts. The carriers are preferably moved to the paint spray station by a power and free conveyor system wherein the carrier is disengaged from the power conveyor at the paint spray station and is reengaged with the power conveyor following spinning movement of the carrier and reciprocal movement of the spray gun assembly.
