1. A coating device for coating components with a coating agent, comprising:
a) a nozzle applicator having a plurality of nozzles for applying the coating agent to the components to be coated, the nozzles in the nozzle applicator arranged next to one another in a nozzle row,
b) a multi-axis coating robot which guides the nozzle applicator along a predetermined movement path over a surface of the components to be coated, and
c) a control device which controls the nozzle applicator and the multi-axis coating robot,
d) wherein the control device is configured to:
i. flexibly control the nozzle applicator during the movement over the surface;
ii. selectively operate the nozzle applicator with a large area coating performance or with a small area coating performance;
iii. control the coating robot in such a way that the nozzle applicator is rotated along the predetermined movement path during the movement;
iv. control the coating robot to rotate the nozzle applicator in such a way that the nozzle row is aligned transversely relative to the predetermined movement path when coating with the large area coating performance; and
v. control the coating robot to rotate the nozzle applicator in such a way that the nozzle row is aligned longitudinally relative to the predetermined movement path when coating with the small area coating performance.
