and many more.
Existing Challenges in Spraying Automation
Manufacturers dealing with spraying processes, such as sandblasting, thermal spraying, shot peening, painting, and coating, often encounter several limitations and struggles with conventional robot programming:
-
Complex Geometry
Spraying applications are frequently utilized on complex and irregular surfaces, making traditional robot programming a challenging and time-consuming task. Writing and refining the code to accommodate the diverse variations in surfaces and shapes demand specialized expertise and significant man-hours. Furthermore, conventional automation encounters difficulties in adapting to changes and faces precision issues, restricting its effectiveness in such scenarios.
-
Difficulty in Handling Variability/Deviations
Manufacturing environments often have variations and deviations in part geometry, material properties, and surface conditions. Conventional programming may struggle to handle these variations effectively, leading to inconsistent results.
-
High Mix Automation
Companies often look for ways to do High Mix or small run batches, and they require frequent and new configurations and programming. Whenever a change in the spraying process is required, robots need to be taken offline for reprogramming. This can impact production efficiency and increase overall lead times.

Automate in 4 Steps
-
01 Scan
Scan work piece (up to 0.1mm accuracy) using Augmentus 3D scanners.
-
02 Plan
Robot operator selects surfaces / edges that they would like the robot to work on, and key in process parameters. Robot motion can be fine-tuned by adjusting waypoints and parameters.
-
03 Simulate
Robot motion is simulated with cycle time calculation, along with singularity, reachability and collision checks.
-
04 Deploy
Robot motion is simulated, and robot script / code is generated specific to robot model, end-effector, sensor and peripherals. Script is transferred seamlessly to robot controller via FTP or USB.
