Manual surface preparation before coating was slow and inconsistent: a turnkey robotic cell with a JAKA arm now dry ice blasts the plastic parts, giving uniform surfaces for painting.
The challenge
- Surfaces were prepared for coating and painting by hand.
- The manual process was time-consuming and labour-intensive.
- Results varied from part to part, affecting productivity and quality.
- Operators were exposed to hazardous substances during manual preparation.
- Client
- Producer of plastic components for the automotive, energy and electronics sectors
- Industry
- Plastics – components
- Solution
- Turnkey robotic cell with a JAKA arm
- Scope
- Dry ice blasting before coating and painting
The solution
- Robot Industries delivered a turnkey robotic cell based on a JAKA arm.
- The cell was designed specifically for dry ice blasting of plastic components.
- The robot prepares surfaces before coating and painting with consistent treatment.
- Staff moved to preparing production for the cell, programming the robot and other value-added work.
