Prototype of “Hose-less Robot” was exhibited.
Syringe Gun was exhibited at the same time.
Outlines
One circle jig has four door mirror covers, and the robot coats them while revolving it. Transportation part is also robotized with rotary mechanism, and it is completely different from the conventional systems. The ceiling-suspended robot moves on only two axes. Especially the big different point is that the coating system has no paint supply hose except air one.
Demonstrations of the robot were performed with the Syringe Gun where a newly developed Syringe Pump and a Sukotti Gun are integrated into a single unit. In our design, a syringe gun with paint goes through pneumatic hose between a paint room and a coating room, and a ceiling-suspended robot gets the syringe gun at the palette of Hose-less Robot system and then coats the works. After coating (finishing necessary paint), the ceiling-suspended robot moves to the palette and put down the empty syringe gun. The syringe gun goes back to the paint room through the pneumatic hose.
Features
Consumption of cleaning solvent can be substantially reduced.
Paint consumption is reduced, and Paint Setting can be much easier.
