Paint robot
Encyclopedia
Industrial paint robots have been used for decades in automotive paint
applications from the first hydraulic versions - which are still in use today but are of inferior quality and safety - to the latest electronic
offerings. The newest robots are accurate and deliver results with uniform film builds and exact thicknesses.
Originally industrial paint robots were large and expensive, but today the price of the robots have come down to the point that general industry can now afford to have the same level of automation that only the big automotive manufacturers could once afford.
The selection of today’s paint robot is much greater varying in size and payload to allow many configuration for painting items of all sizes. The prices vary as well as the new robot market becomes more competitive and the used market continues to expand.
Painting robots are generally equipped with five or six axis, three for the base motions and up to three for applicator orientation. These robots can be used in any explosion hazard Class 1 Division 1 environment.
