Why Using Painting Robots Is Smart Business Sense

Image
Painting robots are an ideal solution for companies across industries. As the market for robotic machine tending and robotic painting grows dramatically, now is the time to invest in a reliable, accurate and safe robotic painting system. Understanding the applications and benefits of painting robots helps determine the ideal system for your manufacturing needs. What Are Robotic Painting Systems? Robots for painting are increasingly used in industrial manufacturing settings. They are ideal for use where precision coating is required. The automotive industry has regularly used robotic painting but recent technological advances have expanded the possible applications. According to one source, the Market for robotic painting is targeted to reach $4.5 billion in 2023 and $11 billion by 2033. Worker safety is one key driver of growth. Robotic painting systems eliminate repetitive strain and inhalation of potentially harmful fumes. Another key driver is the demand for personalization and cus...

Visit FANUC at the FABTECH Trade Show to Learn More About Their Latest Automated Solutions for Painting and Coating At the 2023 FABTECH convention in Chicago, color data on painted test panels will be measured and collected by a FANUC CRX-10iA collaborative robot equipped with a BYK-maci end-of-arm tool. Manufacturers can use this automated technique to check whether a final color meets their exact specifications. The example shows how firms can employ cobots for paint inspection, even though cobots have not been commonly used for automobile coating before. For more information on robotic coating applications that include visual guidance and coordinated motion, interested firms should check out FANUC’s paint-specific robot range (all U.S.-designed and made since 1982).   Visual Tracking for Robotic Painting To paint parts mounted in a variety of orientations on an overhead conveyor, a FANUC P-40iA paint robot employs iRVision 3DV and a brand-new software feature called Visua...

How EOATs Are Changing Robotics in the Workplace

Image
Robots are an important part of the world. They do work that is difficult, dangerous, or even impossible for human workers. They open up doors for manufacturing, shipping, order fulfillment, and more, and by doing that, they create opportunities for people around the world. It’s an exciting idea, to use robots, but when you work with them, you quickly learn just how much robots can’t do. They have strict and obvious limitations, and that can make life difficult. Yet, an emerging industry is focused on adding utility and ability to existing robots through the use of additional tools.   End of Arm Tools End of arm tools (EOATs) allow you to rethink how you utilize existing robots in a workplace. With a cutting-edge EOAT, you can extend a robot’s functionality or utility. You can improve safety. You can hone existing abilities. The possibilities are endless. We can look at three specific innovations that are shaking up the EOAT market right now and look at how they apply to so...

  Seven of the Best Industrial Robots for Professional Surface Painting and Finishing Do you often feel like you need the best robot painter in the world but don’t know where to start? Today, many industrial robots make use of an automated spray system and possess advanced painting capabilities. In this article, we’ll highlight seven of the top robots available for use in industrial painting and finishing. Robots for Industrial Painting In 2019, the first exhibition of robot paintings was presented by robot artist Ai-Da. This follows the $432,500 landmark sale by the auction house Christie’s of the painting “Edmond de Belamy” created by robots in 2018. Despite these feats, most of us aren’t necessarily concerned with art when shopping for a robot that can paint on an industrial scale. But complex interactions between different robot parts and rules for safety have the potential to make a search for the right device challenging. What we need is a robot that’s reliable and ...

The Advantages of Investing in Robots for Paint and Spray Applications

Image
In an era where efficiency, accuracy, and safety are of paramount importance, many industries are turning to automation to meet these demands. For plant managers and maintenance managers looking to automate manual paint/spray applications or load/unload injection mold machines, robotics offer a compelling solution. Now, we will explore the benefits of employing robots for paint and spray applications and why they could be just what you need to compete in the current business environment. Robots Can Work 24/7 Unlike human workers, robots can operate continuously without the need for breaks, holidays, or shifts. This round-the-clock operation is particularly helpful for businesses looking to maximize productivity and output. As an example, robotic machine tending  comes with automation systems that can load and unload parts into a machine, leading to uninterrupted production. By leveraging robotic systems, companies can dramatically improve their operations, leading to higher...
