The inventive device measures the instantaneous rotation speed of a turbine (6) which is housed inside the body (3) of the paint sprayer (2) and which rotationally drives the rotating bowl (5) when the paint sprayer is mounted on the end of an arm (8) of a robot or an analogous multi-axis machine. A disk (10), which is disposed to the rear of the turbine (6) and which rotates therewith, cooperates with the front end (11a) of an optical-fiber-type light guide (11) which is interrupted (11b) at the rear (7) of the body (3) of the paint sprayer (2). Transmitting and receiving optoelectronic means are mounted on the end of the arm on the mounting plane (9) of the paint sprayer, opposite the rear end (11b) of the light guide (11). Said means convert a reflected optical signal which is carried by the optical guide (11) into an electric signal which is carried by an electric cable (22) placed in the arm (8). The inventive device is suitable for use with machines on automatic painting lines for automotive vehicles.

Le dispositif mesure la vitesse instantanée de rotation de la turbine (6), logée à l'intérieur du corps (3) du pulvérisateur (2), qui entraîne en rotation le bol tournant (5) lorsque le pulvérisateur (2) est monté à l'extrémité d'un bras (8) de robot ou machine multi-axes analogue. Un disque (10), situé à l'arrière de la turbine (6) et tournant avec celle-ci, coopère avec l'extrémité avant (11a) d'un guide de lumière (11), du genre fibre optique, qui s'interrompt (en 11b) à l'arrière (7) du corps (3) du pulvérisateur (2). Sur le plan de pose (9) du pulvérisateur, à l'extrémité du bras (8), sont montés des moyens opto-électroniques (12) émetteurs et récepteurs, situés en regard de l'extrémité arrière (11b) du guide de lumière (11). Ces moyens convertissent le signal optique réfléchi, véhiculé par le guide optique (11), en un signal électrique qui est véhiculé par un câble électrique (22) placé dans le bras (8). Un tel dispositif s'applique aux machines pour lignes de peinture automatisées de carrosseries de véhicules automobiles.
