Programmable spray booth maintains spray gun distance across complex surfaces. CNC control system makes programming easy. Robtic dispensing machine has two separately enclosed stations: one for spraying and one for loading/unloading. Operator can unload and reload robotic dispensing machine in one station while the other station is spraying a part.

Robotic Applicating Machine

A SCARA robot is used to applicate media. Recipe storage allows easy part changeovers and the teach mode makes programming quick and easy. This particular machine also included 2 rotary stripers. The part is rotated while applicating media to tube circumference.

Applicating Machine - 360 parts per hour

An inline toggle escapement device meters two parts at once into two independent applicating positions. A two axis, servo driven, actuator is used to position each part precisely beneath six dispenser nozzles for proper media application. Laser sensors are integrated within the process for precise handling and orientation of the parts.

The media is pumped from a 30 gallon drum into monitored holding tanks and then fed into dispenser guns. Machine is capable of applying up to 124 accurate media dots within the required cycle rates. Some models of this machine incorporate a vision camera to identify the incoming part style. Once the part is identified the dispenser nozzles are automatically relocated into position for the specific part. This allows the customer the flexibility to feed various part styles into one machine without changeover.

Robotic Applicating Machine - 5,000 parts per hour

Machine applies media at both ends of tubular parts. Due to inconsistencies in center tube lengths, parts move back and forth to locate applicating position from each end. Parts are loaded onto trays, inserted into machine for applicating, and then transferred down a conveyor.
