The challenge
Make-to-order painting often means small production batches – sometimes only 10 to 15 components per color and geometry – frequent color changes and no time to waste on programming. The system must operate continuously while remaining simple to use for operators who manage different production batches every day.
The solution
A robotic painting cell equipped with two coordinated robots working simultaneously on the same component. Their movements are synchronized to avoid interference: each robot covers its assigned area and together they complete the painting process in half the time. The automatic color change station can manage up to 10–20 colors and it is compatible with both solvent-based and water-based paints.
Key strengths
- Two coordinated painting robots: reduced cycle times and complete coverage of the component, including complex geometries.
- Automatic color change for up to 10–20 colors: the required color is selected according to the production batch, while the color station automatically cleans the system without stopping production.
- Designed for make-to-order manufacturing: fast and simple batch setup without dedicated robotics specialists. Painting parameters can be managed according to the color, dimensions and number of components.
