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.

  • 5 days 

    Is the average downtime needed for robot programming 

  • >70%  

    Of lifetime cost of using robots is software and programming-related
