News - Application case of collaborative robot automatic spraying

With the development of the manufacturing industry, the application of robotics technology is becoming more and more extensive. In the manufacturing industry, spraying is a very important process link, but the traditional manual spraying has problems such as large color difference, low efficiency, and difficult quality assurance. In order to solve these problems, more and more companies are using cobots for spraying operations. In this article, we will introduce the case of a cobot that can effectively solve the problem of manual spraying color difference, increase production capacity by 25%, and pay for itself after six months of investment.

1. Case background

This case is a spraying production line for an auto parts manufacturing company. In the traditional production line, the spraying work is done manually, and there are problems such as large color difference, low efficiency, and difficult quality assurance. In order to improve production efficiency and product quality, the company decided to introduce collaborative robots for spraying operations.

2. Introduction to bots

The company chose a cobot for the spraying operation. The collaborative robot is an intelligent robot based on human-machine collaboration technology, which has the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency and high safety. The robot adopts advanced visual recognition technology and motion control technology, which can realize automatic spraying operations, and can be adaptively adjusted according to different products, so as to ensure the quality and efficiency of spraying.

3. Robotics applications

On the company's production lines, cobots are used to paint automotive parts. The specific application process is as follows:
• The robot scans and identifies the spraying area, and determines the spraying area and spraying path;
• The robot automatically adjusts the spraying parameters according to the different characteristics of the product, including spraying speed, spraying pressure, spraying angle, etc.
• The robot carries out automatic spraying operations, and the spraying quality and spraying effect can be monitored in real time during the spraying process.
• After the spraying is completed, the robot is cleaned and maintained to ensure the normal operation of the robot.
Through the application of collaborative robots, the company has solved the problems of large color difference, low efficiency and difficult quality assurance in traditional manual spraying. The spraying effect of the robot is stable, the color difference is small, the spraying speed is fast, and the spraying quality is high, which greatly improves the production efficiency and product quality.

4. Economic benefits

Through the application of cobots, the company has achieved significant economic benefits. Specifically, it is manifested in the following aspects:
a. Increase production capacity: The spraying speed of the robot is fast, which can greatly improve the production efficiency, and the production capacity is increased by 25%;
b. Reduce costs: The application of robots can reduce labor costs and waste of spraying materials, thereby reducing production costs;
c. Improve product quality: The spraying effect of the robot is stable, the color difference is small, and the spraying quality is high, which can improve product quality and reduce after-sales maintenance costs;
d. Fast return on investment: The input cost of the robot is high, but due to its high efficiency and high production capacity, the investment can be repaid in half a year;

5. Summary

The cobot spraying case is a very successful robot application case. Through the application of robots, the company has solved the problems of large color difference, low efficiency and difficult quality assurance in traditional manual spraying, improved production efficiency and product quality, and obtained more production orders and customer recognition.
