Set-based Control for Autonomous Spray Painting

In this paper, a method is presented for lowering the energy consumption and/or increasing the speed of a standard manipulator spray painting a surface. The approach is based on the observation that a small angle between the spray direction and the surface normal does not affect the quality of the paint job. Recent results in set-based kinematic control are utilized to develop a switched contro...

Microencapsulation of Bioactive Principles with an Airless Spray-Gun Suitable for Processing High Viscous Solutions

PURPOSE to design, assemble and test a prototype of a novel production plant, suitable for producing microparticles (MPs) by processing highly viscous feed solutions (FSs). METHODS the prototype has been built using a commercial air compressor, a piston pump, an airless spray-gun, a customized air-treatment section, a timer, a rotating base, and a filtration section. Preliminary prototype par...

Passive Wireless Hermetic Environment Monitoring System for Spray Painting Workshop

Passive wireless sensors have the advantages of operating without a power supply and remote sensing capability. Hence, they are very suitable for some harsh environments, such as hermetic environments, rotating parts, or very high temperature environments. The spray painting workshop is such a harsh environment, containing a large amount of flammable paint mist and organic gas. Aiming at this s...

Automatic Robotic Spray Painting of Low Volume High Variant Parts

With the advance in IT technology sensors and processing power exist to achieve fully automated robot programming in industrial tasks. This paper reports on the EU-project FlexPaint, which devised a methodology to automatically generate robot programs for spray painting of unknown parts. The solution uses four steps: laser triangulation sensing, geometric feature detection, tool path planning, ...
