Industrial Paint Robot

Industrial paint robots have been used for decades in automotive applications from the first hydraulic versions, which are still in use today but cannot match the quality or safety of the electric robots, to the latest electric offerings from the robot OEM’s. The newest robots are incredibly accurate and deliver amazing results with uniform film builds and exact thicknesses.

Originally industrial paint robots were big and expensive, but today the price of the robots, new and used, have come down to the point that general industry can now afford to have the same level of automation that only the big automotive manufacturers could only once afford.

Plus the selection of today’s paint robot is much greater, they vary in size and payload to allow many configuration for painting big item’s like 747’s and small item’s like door handles. The prices vary as well as the new robot market becomes more competitive and the used market continues to expand. It is possible to purchase a good used paint robot for as little as $25K.

Painting robots are generally equipped with five to six axes, three for the base motions and up to three for applicator orientation. These robots can be used in any explosion hazard Class 1 Division 1 environment.
