The booths can be supplied with powder reclaim provisions and manual or automatic application. These include complete turn-key powder systems including the booth and guns. ( ) also provides a range of resources for powder coating. They fit flat to building walls, are pre-assembled and offer options such as fluidized collection hoppers and stainless steel working enclosures. Servair ( ) offers its SPB Batch Powder Booths for powder coating, available in standard widths of 6’, 9’, and 12’. The project includes four robot spray booths and an automated conveyor system, 12 Binks Maple horizontal paint circulating pumps, four Ransburg Dynaflow controllers, and DeVilbiss AGMD Pro automatic spray guns.
(a company that makes doors and molded components, as well as auto parts) for a new automated system for its paint plant.
Arizona-based Carlisle Fluid Technologies ( ) was recently called on by Mitras Automotive in Cheshire, U.K. Robots are no strangers to automotive plants, which is where a lot of the spray equipment and techniques found in woodshops came from. The anthropomorphic robot arm features six axes that can be extended up to 11, and has a working area of 3000 x 3000 mm. For example, the Superfici Maestro from SCM ( ) was inspired by a craftsman’s arm movements. While some doors and faces are still shipped unfinished, most lighter wear surfaces such as drawer sides and cabinet interiors are being UV coated before shipping.įor the outsourcing manufacturers, and for larger custom woodshops doing in-house coating, robotics are already a fact of life. Many shops are already outsourcing most if not all of their cases, doors, moldings and drawers, and having them coated before they arrive. Unlike the woodshops of previous generations, the industry is no longer doing everything in-house. Advances in CNC technology and robotics have fueled the growth of outsourcing options for woodshops, where large shops fill small orders.
