Is the spraying market so big? Analysis of spraying robot and its development potential
The extensive use of spraying robots has greatly liberated the labor force working in dangerous environments, and has also greatly improved the production efficiency of automobile manufacturers, and brought stable spraying quality, reduced the repair rate of finished products, and improved the utilization rate of paint. The discharge of waste paint and waste solvents contributes to the construction of an environmentally friendly green factory.
The spraying operation has high production efficiency and is suitable for manual operation and industrial automation production. It has a wide range of applications, mainly in the fields of hardware, plastics, furniture, military industry, and ships. It is the most common coating method used today; spraying requires an environment It is required to have a dust-free workshop with a level of one million to a hundred. The spraying equipment includes spray guns, spray booths, paint supply rooms, curing furnaces/drying furnaces, spraying workpiece conveying equipment, anti-fogging and waste water, waste gas treatment equipment, etc.
The main problem in spraying is the highly dispersed paint mist and volatilized solvents, which not only pollute the environment, is not good for human health, but also waste paint and cause economic losses. Therefore, spraying robots came into being.
Spraying robots, also called paint spraying robots, are industrial robots that can automatically spray paint or spray other paints. Spraying robots have four major advantages, one of which is flexibility. The scope of work is large; the second is to improve the quality of spraying and the utilization rate of materials; the third is easy to operate and maintain, and can be programmed offline, which greatly shortens the on-site debugging time; the fourth is the high utilization rate of equipment, which can reach 90%-95 %.
Different spraying robots have different effective sizes that can reach spraying due to the limitations of the freedom of each joint and arm length. In the automotive coating process, the application of spray robots is becoming more and more extensive. Its significant advantage is that it can produce multiple models on the same production line at the same time, which improves the automation and production efficiency of coating. The quality of coating robots on the market is different. Choosing high-quality coating robots can better carry out the coating work.
For automobile manufacturers, high-precision robotics is not what they need, but it will cause great troubles to the future production and operation of manufacturing plants. Such as the training of maintenance personnel, the support of process update, and the inventory of spare parts. Therefore, the equipment that is concise but not simple, easy to learn and master, stable and effective, and relatively low in operation and maintenance costs is what users need. In addition, the quality of body spraying largely depends on the paint characteristics. Therefore, how to reasonably design the spraying trajectory according to different paint characteristics and body shapes to achieve better spraying quality is also a topic worthy of in-depth study.
