In the case where rolling printing is used to apply a coating liquid to an inner surface of a half bearing to form a coating layer thereon, the coating layer is formed in uniform thickness.A transfer roll rotates to have a coating liquid in a coating liquid tank filled in recesses formed on a roll surface thereof and to have a surplus coating liquid scraped off by a doctor blade, and rotates contacting with a coating roll. Thereby, the coating liquid in the recesses of the transfer roll is transferred to the coating roll. Thereafter, while the transfer roll is moved upward, an arm is rotated counterclockwise whereby the coating roll is separated from the transfer roll. The arm is further rotated whereby the coating roll is moved along an inner surface of a half bearing fixed to a jig and the coating roll applies the coating liquid to the inner surface of the half bearing. |

A robot capable of teaching operation is installed in the vicinity of a transfer line in which a plurality of vehicles are successively transferred. The robot is provided with a roller which is rotatable and made of a material capable of absorbing and storing a protective layer forming material. A controller for controlling the robot receives a production control information from a production control information supply section and recognizes the number of coating-unnecessary vehicles continuously transferred, on the basis of production control information (step S201). When the number of coating-unnecessary vehicles successively transferred is three or more, the roller is moistened (step S203). When the number of coating-unnecessary vehicles successively transferred becomes two, moistening is terminated and a preparatory operation is performed (step S207). |

A method and device are disclosed for monitoring lacquer consumption per can in a lacquer application unit. The device includes a counter providing can number data on the number of cans being applied with lacquer in the application unit; a tank for intermediate storage of lacquer; a lacquer feeder for feeding lacquer from a lacquer reservoir to the tank through an inlet pipe; and a lacquer feeder for feeding lacquer from the tank to the application unit. A valve is provided in the inlet pipe for intermittent movement between a closed position and an open position, in which lacquer is admitted into the tank. A flow meter is arranged to provide flow rate data on the amount of lacquer flowing into the tank. The device also includes a processor that, based on the flow rate data and the can number data, over a time period between two subsequent movements of the valve to one and only one of the positions, effects a calculation of the total amount of lacquer passing the flow meter during the time period and the total number of lacquer coated cans during the time period, to subsequently, by dividing the total amount by the total number, calculate a lacquer consumption value per can. |

A fast spot gluing machine for screws is disclosed, having a vibrating body, a horizontal conveyor, a support board, a rubber wheel, a spot gluing plate, a speed-adjustable motor, a control circuit and a glue compressor. A spiral slope is disposed on an inner wall of the vibrating body, extending to a top of the vibrating body to connect with the horizontal conveyor. The support board is disposed at a rear portion of the horizontal conveyor and includes a base board and first and second upright boards. The control circuit is used to control rotational speed of the motor. The motor has a rotary shaft on which the rubber wheel is fitted. The first upright board is formed with an arcuate notch for partially receiving the rubber wheel and the second upright board is formed with an elongated adjusting slot. An adjusting screw formed with a through hole is disposed through elongated slot to engage the spot gluing plate. A glue injecting nozzle is connected to a rear end of the adjusting screw, such that the glue compressor can compress and feed the glue through the through hole of the adjusting screw so as to be sprayed onto the spot gluing plate, when the screws are conveyed by the conveyor to a position between the rubber wheel and the spot gluing plate, the rubber wheel rotates to make the stem portion of the screw entirely roll over the spot gluing plate. |

A method and apparatus for sizing a piston to a defined size outer diameter surface, which is the contact surface with the cylinder of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus method involves first measuring each piston, then calculating the amount of coating required to achieve the desired diameter for each individual piston or range of pistons and then applying a precise coating in either one or more coats preferably by using a rotary pad printing technique to produce the precise film thickness, thus narrowing the diameter range of the group of pistons. |

An apparatus for uniformly coating a planar substrate with an adhesive layer has a rotatably mounted sleeve with closed ends to form an internal cavity therein. The sleeve has a plurality of holes therein and its outer surface is covered by a porous layer such as a foam layer. A vacuum is applied to the sleeve cavity, while the sleeve is rotated. One surface of a polymeric film is positioned on the porous layer and held in place by the vacuum acting through the sleeve holes and porous layer. The other surface of the polymeric film contains a uniform adhesive coating. The surface of a planar substrate is tangentially transported past the polymeric film surface with the adhesive layer and in timed registration therewith, so that a nip is formed between the planar substrate and the polymeric film which transfers a uniformly thick portion of adhesive to the planar substrate surface. |
