  • a pallet module can in particular have the same base area, but the actual workpiece holder on the pallet module can each be configured differently for receiving different workpieces. Thus, despite different workpieces and thus different pallet modules, these are uniformly absorbed by the conveyor.
  • a preferred embodiment according to the invention is that in the conveyor, the pallet module is adjustable, in particular pivotable.
  • the cylinder bores can be adjusted in a machined engine block in a favorable working position.
  • an adjustment can be made in a 6-, 8- or 12-cylinder engine block, in which the cylinder bores are arranged in a V-shape.

It is thus possible during operation, a cleaning of the coating lance and also a measurement of the metal plasma jet, so that a reliable operation is ensured with an exact metal coating in a continuous operation.
  • the process is carried out with the portal device. Also during this process, the metal plasma jet can be continuously generated further.
  • the coating lance comprises a plasma generator, which has a cathode, a metallic anode, which is meltable by an arc between the cathode and the anode, and a nozzle device, through which a gas is conductive, which forms the metal plasma jet with metal particles in the arc.
  • the Düseneicardi can generate a gas jet, with which the entrained metal particles are applied from the molten metallic anode in the arc at supersonic speed on the bore wall.
  • the arc is continuously formed by a correspondingly high electrical voltage between the cathode and the anode.
  • the metal plasma jet can also be produced in other ways, for example by injecting metal powder into a plasma jet.

  • a flexible feed for the anode wire is provided.
  • the anode wire can be stored as a winding with several 100 meters in length and be conveyed via the flexible feed continuously to the coating lance. Due to the continuous operation of the plasma generator and the coating lance, a uniform feed can be done relatively easily.
  • the inventive method for metallic coating is characterized in that the coating lance is moved with stationary workpiece with a portal device with at least two axes in several holes of the workpiece, the bore walls of the plurality of holes are provided with the coating lance with the metallic coating.
  • a particularly uniform coating with low non-productive times is achieved according to the invention in that, when the coating lance is withdrawn from the coated bore, the metal plasma jet is directed onto a spray shield and the coating lance is moved together with the spray shield. It is avoided as a metal to unwanted locations of the workpiece.
  • the metal plasma jet is generated continuously by the coating lance, regardless of whether the coating lance is in a processing position, in a bore of the workpiece or outside of the workpiece in a movement position.
  • the control of the coating lance and the plasma generator for generating the metal plasma jet can be simplified. Also, travel times can be saved, which would otherwise be required for an interruption of the metal plasma jet.
