Spray-painting Motion Planning and Quality Analysis in Powder Coating Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper reports results on the automation of the spray-painting process in industrial powder coating plants. The automation of the spray-painting process requires a painting model and the definition of appropriate metrics for painting task validation. Two main topics are addressed in the paper: motion planning of paint deposition and paint quality analysis. A paint quality function is formulated and results concerning experimental analysis are presented. Copyright 2002 IFAC

Intelligent Painting Process Planner for Robotic Bridge Painting
Due to increased government regulations on environment, health, and safety, the cost of on-site bridge painting has quadrupled over the past several years. The construction industry faces a great challenge in how to control the increased costs of bridge painting and meet the regulations at the same time. A possible solution to address this challenge is to develop a robotic bridge painting syste...
متن کاملEXCELlence in Robot Programming for Coating Applications
Impressive gains have been made in thermal spray coatings through material development and coating parameter selection. Nevertheless, it is usually up to shop personnel to develop a robot program to achieve the final coating. Coating programs are often developed using trial and error. Some motion and deposit analysis programs are available [1], [2]. However, they can be costly and require a lev...

In this study, the effect of surface roughness and roughness morphology on the bond strength of WC-Co-Cr coatings has investigated. The three different surfaces morphology are use for this purpose. The first and tow samples sandblasted with alumina and silicon carbide respectively. Other sample no sandblasted before spraying process. The same WC-10Co-4Cr coating deposited on the substrates with...
متن کاملDevelopment of an optimal trajectory model for spray painting on a free surface
Generally, trajectory planning problems are often formulated as constrained variational problems. This paper develops an optimal trajectory model to optimize the trajectory planning on a free surface to achieve uniform deposition over painted surface and reduce wastage of coating materials. Numerical solution techniques consider geometric characteristics on a free surface, rate of film accumula...
