Painting islands

Our technical department is able to propose solutions in partnership with the most important system manufacturers, or to integrate guns and materials proposed by the customer.

Main areas of use for robotic paint islands

• Automotive industry: for the coating of car bodies, interior and exterior parts of vehicles.
• Furniture industry: for applying paints and finishes on furniture, doors and other wooden elements.
• Aerospace: for the coating of aeronautical components requiring precise and durable finishes.
• Engineering industry: for the protective coating of metal structures and components.
• Plastics industry: for the coating of plastic components used in various industries.

Integrated painting techniques

• Spray painting: this is the most common technique, where paint is sprayed onto the surface through nozzles controlled by the robot. Ensures even coverage on complex surfaces.
• Electrostatic coating: uses an electric charge to attract the paint to the product surface, reducing waste and improving adhesion.
• Dip painting: the product is immersed in a paint bath, and the robot handles it to ensure complete coverage. This method is used for objects of particular shapes.
• Powder coating: it consists in applying a painted powder which, once heated, melts creating a hard and resistant coating.

Main components

• Anthropomorphic robots: equipped with flexible arms which allow precise and fluid movements, adapting to different shapes and sizes.
• Spraying systems: composed of nozzles, spray guns, and devices for the control of pressure and paint flow.
• Paint booths: controlled environments where the painting process takes place to avoid contamination and ensure a homogeneous application.
• Filtration and ventilation systems: essential to keep the air clean, avoiding the accumulation of vapours and paint particles.
• Vision systems and sensors: used to monitor and correct the painting process in real time, ensuring that paint is applied exactly where it is needed.

Advantages

• Precision and uniformity: robots can apply paint evenly to complex surfaces, with a constant thickness and without imperfections.
• Efficiency: reduces cycle times and minimises material waste thanks to the robot’s precision.
• Quality: ensures a high level of finish, essential for sectors such as automotive and aerospace.
• Safety: improves working conditions by eliminating operator exposure to paint vapours and harmful chemicals.
