A dosing device for a program controlled spray painting apparatus adapted for dosing electrically conductive fluid materials to a spray gun/applicator. The spray gun may be charged at a high voltage for electrostatically charged atomizing of electrically conductive fluid materials. A coating system includes the dosing device, which is moved by an actuator between a connecting member for a paint filling line or a cleaning fluid supply line, and a spray gun. A method and a computer program for carrying out the method.

A method for programming an industrial robot having a tool. The method includes obtaining configuration data for the tool and for the robot path and information about the position and orientation of the object in relation to the robot, obtaining a sequence of waypoints, which defines the process in relation to the object, obtaining at least one distance for adjusting the position of a waypoint, deciding whether an obtained waypoint should be modified or not, based on the obtained information about the waypoints, generating a modified sequence of waypoints by modifying the waypoints in the obtained sequence of waypoints, based on the decision, the obtained distance and the obtained information about the waypoints and generating the actual robot path based on the modified sequence of waypoints and the obtained configuration data.

When determining coordinates of a point of an object ( ) in a reference system of coordinates and the orientation of the object in the space in a measuring position assumed by the object, the object is moved from a start position having known coordinates and a known orientation to a measuring position while detecting this movement. Said coordinates and the orientation of the object in the measuring position are calculated from information from this detection and about the start position. Furthermore, the acceleration and retardation of the object are measured during the movement, and the coordinates and the orientation of the object in the measuring position are calculated from information from this measurement.

A plant is adapted to feed paint to robots for automatic spray application of paint on objects provided with a container (,) made loosenable and removable from the robot for exchange for another such container when there is a desire to have more paint in the container and/or change paint. The plant has a station (,) with containers filled with paint, a transport device (,) with means (,) for transporting a container containing paint from said station when said desire arises to the robot and deliver this thereto as well as means adapted to receive a container to be exchanged from the robot and transport it away for taking care thereof.
