the preceding description with the same reference numerals being used for identical components one feature of this embodiment is that when painting the vehicle body 17 the end effector 10 with the two rotational atomizers 11 12 is aligned parallel to the direction the vehicle body 17 is being transported the individual working strokes 20 are aligned at right angles to the direction the vehicle body is being transported as in the embodiment from fig2 a and 2 b this embodiment also offers the advantage that the painting robot 1 does not require a seventh robot axis this embodiment is particularly suitable for paint facilities with a conveyor path of medium speed and for stop and go applications in addition this embodiment is particularly suitable for painting large horizontal surfaces such as vehicle roofs this embodiment is moreover suitable for painting vertical surfaces for example vehicle side panels fig4 shows a further embodiment in accordance with the invention which again is largely identical to the embodiments previously described to avoid repetition reference is made to the preceding description with the same reference numerals being used for identical components the base 2 of the painting robot 1 is stationary in this case as well where the vehicle body to be painted 17 is moved past the painting robot 1 on two rails 18 19 the painting robot 1 is particularly suitable for painting side.
