Paint robots fine-tune the spraying of paint or adhesives, bringing clear benefits. The long-term use of robotic automation helps industries save on materials and costs by establishing a safer working environment and delivering consistent end quality.
A slim-arm, compact robot design with high speed and six axes is perfect for a successful paint application. Product quality and production throughput for optimal finishing operations.
A hollow wrist allows plenty of space for wiring, pneumatic lines and paint hoses. The invention of the hollow wrist has substantially increased the flexibility of movement of robotic arms. The use of a hollow wrist design ensures cleaner operation, which is ideal for paint applications.
Paint application software is included with the Yaskawa MPX series paint robots. Paint adjustments can be made on the fly using “Paint Condition Files” in the Yaskawa INFORM II robot programming language. Robot operators can reliably alter things like flow rate, fan pattern, atomisation and electrostatics thanks to this simple method of parameter control.
Robots can reliably monitor and track things on moving conveyors thanks to conveyor tracking technology. Using a moving conveyor to transfer parts continuously through the paint booth and ovens is a standard technique for paint and coating applications. While continuous motion lines may not be appropriate for all painting operations, Yaskawa’s painting robot is designed to fit various production models.
Using a technology known as “purge and pressurise”, Yaskawa robots used in painting and coating environments are continuously pressurised with air. Painting robots have an air purge box that uses compressed air or inert gas to remove potentially hazardous compounds from the inner chamber of the robot arm. This is especially true for painting robots, where fumes or flammable particles can come into contact with exposed motors and electrical components.
Increased payload capacities for small paint robots allow the use of a wider range of small arms and hoods in smaller robot designs.
Robots with small footprints and narrow arm designs can operate in limited locations, enabling high-density robot configurations.
Improved arm designs and combinations allow workpieces to be painted closer to the robot, increasing space efficiency and robot density.
The result of increased space efficiency and robot density. Thanks to improved arm designs and combinations that allow workpieces to be painted closer to the robot.
