ROBOTIC POWDER COATING SYSTEM – COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR THE COMPANY
ROBOTISATION OF INDUSTRY
The changes taking place in the market concerning high competitiveness, higher productivity and increasing quality, require entrepreneurs to make flexible changes in the production process. Manual labor is no longer profitable, especially in difficult and dangerous conditions is increasingly being replaced by robots and machines. The number of robots installed in plants around the world is constantly growing, dynamically changing the face of industry. Progressive automation and robotization, allows to gain many business advantages that cannot be overlooked these days.
ECOLINE MEETS MARKET NEEDS
The solutions that we consider extremely innovative today, will soon become the required minimum. Therefore, Ecoline always meets the market needs and provides its Customers with world-class technological devices, maximally optimized for individual requirements, but also ensuring the highest quality and competitive advantages. Recently introduced to the company’s offer, robotized powder coating booth, consisting of a powder booth and a high quality coating robot is a solution that opens new perspectives in coating industry for the enterpice. Combining the efficiency of these devices enables to achieve new product features and functionality.
POWDER COATING ROBOT
The use of a robot in the powder coating process brings many advantages to the production process. First of all, it allows to replace the manual coating system, increasing the quality and repeatability of the coating, reducing working time and powder consumption, but above all, reduces the edge effect and guarantees better final result. The use of the robot also eliminates the need for manual re-coating of the elements.
COMPLETE POWDER COATING BOOTH
The robot’s operation can be synchronized with other elements, like the coating line or the feeder. The synchronization can involve time and place – the moment when the robot work shall start, after the workpiece crosses a certain point on the line. In both cases, the workpiece transporting the element is equipped with detectors that read the speed. The robot is responsible for running time, pressure or width of the stream. This affects the quality and repeatability of the coating, while reducing working time and saving powder. The use of the robot, reduces the number of guns, needed for coating and in the same way, reducing the consumption of powder and simplifying the entire construction of coating line. The operating costs of the powder line are also decreased by periodic replacement of gun components.
During the robot’s operation, the application of powder is carried out automatically by using two-axis manipulators and an automatic application that is installed on the 6-axis robot. The coating of parts with complex shapes is complete and efficient. In addition, the robots we install are programmed anthropomorphically, without any need to involve specialist to program their movement.
INNOVATIVE POWDER COATING BOOTH
Combining the proper robot with an innovative coating booth, allows for maximum optimization and cost savings. Our dielectric booth, thanks to its sandwich-type layered wall structure, allows for fast powder removal. It was designed based on the main principles of aerodynamics, allowing better suction of excess of powder that has not settled on the details. The absorption system is a simple mechanism, but extremely effective, built with a connection channel and a cyclone of very high efficiency. The vertical detail reading system, located in the booth, provides full automation of powder application management. Special manipulators and oscillators, equipped with a digital system, controls the working stroke, with an accuracy of up to one centimeter.
COMBINATION OF A TOP CLASS EQUIPMENT- A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
The use of a dielectric booth with a powder coating robot has allowed our customers to achieve concrete benefits in their businesses. The work improvement, with increased efficiency, and optimalization of production has been observed. The quality of coated parts and the repeatability of the coating process have been significantly improved. Thanks to the use of robots, the health risk for employees, operating the painting process has been eliminated. The maximum optimization of equipment production capacity and working time, as well as the minimization of the powder waste, allowed a real reduction in the cost of manufactured elements.
The robotized powder coating system was awarded by the “INNOVATOR PODKARPACIA 2022” for its unique technological thought and solution at a high world standard.
