The disclosure relates to a protective covering for a robot hand axis of a robot, in particular in a painting robot. The protective covering according to the disclosure has a protective sheath for at least partially enclosing the robot hand axis. Furthermore, the protective covering according to the disclosure has a proximal protective sheath fastening for fastening the protective sheath to a fastening point on a proximal component of the robot hand axis or on the robot arm of the robot. Furthermore, the protective covering according to the disclosure has a distal protective sheath fastening for fastening the protective sheath to the tool. The disclosure provides that the proximal protective sheath fastening and preferably also the distal protective sheath fastening allows a rotational movement of the protective sheath relative to the fastening point on the proximal component of the robot hand axis or on the robot arm of the robot.

Protective covering for a robot hand axis

The invention relates to a coating method for coating a component surface () with a coating agent, in particular for painting a motor vehicle body component with a paint, having the following steps: &#x22c5; emitting a spray jet () of the coating agent onto the component surface () of the component to be coated by means of an atomizer (), said spray jet () having a main axis () and having an asymmetry with respect to the main axis () such that the spray jet () generates a spray pattern with a corresponding asymmetry on the component surface (), and &#x22c5; at least partially compensating for the asymmetry of the spray jet () such that the asymmetry of the resulting spray pattern on the component surface () is reduced. The invention further relates to a corresponding coating device.
