Painting
robot (1) with a color changer (8), wherein the painting
robot (1) is suitable for painting both the exterior surfaces and the interior surfaces of motor vehicle bodies by means of an atomizer (7) guided by the painting
robot (1) and is able to insert the atomizer (7) into the engine and
trunk compartments of the body, with
doors and hoods installed and thus in the way, and through door openings into the interior of the body to a sufficient extent for painting the interior. wherein the pivot axis of a distal arm (5) of the painting robot (1) is located below the pivot axis of an upper arm (4) of the painting robot (1) adjacent to the distal arm (5) during the painting of the interior, and wherein the interior is painted with the distal arm (5) inserted in a horizontal position, and wherein the painting robot (1) is movable on a traversing rail, wherein the guide rail is arranged above the roof of the body, and wherein the pivot axis of the distal arm (5) of the painting robot (1) lies below the traversing rail of the painting robot (1) when painting the interior, and wherein the upper arm (4) and the distal arm (5) can be pivoted into the reverse position for painting the outer surfaces, in which the pivot axis of the distal arm (5) is located above the pivot axis of the upper arm (4), wherein the color changer (8) has the following features: a) on the input side several color supply lines (13, 13.1, 13.2) for supplying different
colored lacquers, b) on the output side a common color line (25) for conveying the
lacquer selected by the color changer (8) to the atomizer (7), c) several docking points (15) which are supplied by the individual color supply lines (13, 13.1, 13.2), and d) a paint extraction unit (16) which can optionally dock to one of the docking points (15) and, when docked, extracts the paint from the associated paint supply line (13, 13.1, 13.2) and feeds the common paint line (25) with the extracted paint, e) wherein the paint extraction point (16) and the docking points (15) are displaceable relative to each other, with a clamping device (18, 19, 20) for mechanically clamping the paint extraction point (16) and the respective docking point (15) in the docked state, wherein the clamping device has a groove (18) with an
undercut on which a movable clamping element (19) engages.
