Claims
- 1. A method of producing a tubular electrode for electrophoretic deposition of a coating material on a surface of an object comprising the steps of:
- covering an outer lateral, electrically conductive surface of the electrode with an insulating coating material;
- determining a position with respect to a base of the electrode of one annular zone for exposing the electrically conductive surface of the tubular electrode so that an equipotential curve close to the surface of the object to be coated has a shape which corresponds to said surface;
- cutting a slit to form said annular zone, and
- removing the insulating material along said one annular zone,
- said electrode producing a substantially uniform layer of coating material on the surface of the object.
- 2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising the step of determining a position of an additional annular zone for removing insulating material and each of said slit having a width (e) between 0.5 and 3 mm.
- 3. The method according to claim 2 wherein the width (e) of each of said slit is 1 mm.
