Abstract

A sprayer installation suitable for spraying water-based paint includes a multi-axis robot carrying a sprayer. A conveyor carries objects to be sprayed past the robot. Respective circuits for distributing products to be sprayed comprise first connection devices at fixed locations within range of the robot. The robot carries a storage tank for the product to be sprayed at least during a spraying phase. This storage tank is connected to the sprayer to supply product to be sprayed to it. First complementary connection devices fitted to or communicating with the storage tank cooperate with the first connection devices of any selected distribution circuit.
