The invention relates to a device for treating surfaces of objects with rounded cross sections and at least one partially electrically conductive outer wall, comprising a plurality of treating stations; and a feed device including support devices for supporting objects to be treated, wherein the feed device is configured to transport the objects supported by a respective support device in a timed sequence from one treating station to another treating station, wherein one of the treating stations is a test station and includes a voltage source, an electrode coupled with the voltage source and a processing unit, wherein the processing unit is configured to detect voltage changes between the electrode and a respective object disposed at the respective test station. The invention also relates to an accordingly configured test station for a device for treating surfaces of objects with rounded cross sections and at least one partially electrically conductive outer wall and to a method for treating surfaces of objects with rounded cross sections and at least one partially electrically conductive outer wall.

Device and method for surface processing having a test station

The invention relates to a device () for processing the surface of objects () and comprises a predetermined number of processing stations (B-B) performing processing processes and a conveying unit performing processing movements. The objects are transported into predetermined desired positions at the processing stations (B-B) by means of the conveying unit. The device () further comprises a central controller (), by means of which the processing movements of the conveying unit and the processing processes of the processing stations are synchronized by presetting a clock pulse being correlated with the processing movement of the object () to be processed and controlling the respective processing process via the central controller () for each processing station (B-B).
