Robotic Automation: Painting

Robotic painting or coating produces top quality results. Once properly programmed, an industrial painting robot can apply material without leaving behind drips, inconsistencies, overspray, etc. Paint and/or coating is applied precisely and consistently. 

Industrial painting robots can provide exceptional part accessibility. Not only are robotic arms slim and far-reaching, but robots can be installed in a number of different locations (wall, shelf, rail) allowing for even greater flexibility.

Anti-collision software makes it possible for multiple robots to work in close proximity to one another. With more robots working together, throughput and cycle times improve.

Robots conserve materials - offering paint savings of 15-30%. They don't overspray, nor do they make mistakes, so parts don't have to be constantly reworked or scrapped. At the same time, industrial painting robots take up less room, allowing expensive painting booths to be condensed.

Industrial painting robots protect workers. Painting and coating applications is a hazardous and taxing job. Workers can be exposed to unsafe VOCs, isocyanides and carcinogens. The painstaking work of painting object after object can lead to repetitive movement injuries. Robots, on the other hand, are better equipped to handle the dangers of this particular work environment. Built with explosion-proof arms, these robots remain safe in the midst of combustible gas.
