Painting Automation Solutions
Motoman is the right automation choice for all of your painting needs. Motoman is a world-leader in robotic painting products, technology, customer satisfaction and robot sales. Motoman’s Advanced Systems Group (ASG) brings significant experience and understanding to your painting and coating application projects. Motoman PX-series “Expert Paint” robots are designed to optimize performance in General Industrial, Tier 1, and Automotive applications. They can be used for primer, base coat, finish coat, clear coat and spray dispensing, using water-based, solvent, powder, glaze, and glue/adhesive materials. In addition, they can efficiently coat intricate parts with recesses, curved surfaces, and picture frame-like shapes. Using a complex spray path, the robot can spray different areas of the part to various film thicknesses without runs or sags. Flexible, high-performance Motoman PX and EPX-series robots improve productivity, reduce waste, enhance quality and lower operating cost. |

| Description | Suitable for painting car and insides of box-shaped objects. | Suitable for painting horizontal and vertical planes at high speeds. | Includes a large opening through the robot base, arm, and wrist for hoses, cables and direct connection of various spray application devices to the robot wrist. Interference between the hoses and parts/fixtures is avoided, ensuring optimum cycle time and robot reach/access. |
All of the Motoman PX-series robots feature a Factory Mutual (FM) Class 1, Division 1 explosion-proof rating. Painting devices such as Color Change Valves (up to 24 colors), Flushable Gear Pump, and solenoid valves can be mounted on the upper arm of the larger, floor-mounted painting robots.
XRC 2001-FM Controller
- Factory Mutual (FM) Class 1, Division 1 approved
- Simplifies programming with application-specific software
- Maximizes performance with Advanced Robot Motion control (ARM)
- Air purge system for operation in hazardous environments
- Optional intrinsically safe programming pendant
MotoSim EG
MotoSim EG (Motoman Simulation System with Enhanced Graphics) is Motoman’s comprehensive PC-based robotic system simulation package that allows users to optimize robot placement, minimize fixturing errors and reduce robot installation time.
Paint Robots are the Right Automation Choice!
| Part shape | Part variety | Cycle time | Capital and operating costs |
Paint savings | Technical expertise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robots handle complex part shapes with recesses, curved surfaces, etc. | Robots handle a range of dissimilar parts at high production rate | Painting speed is critical factor not necessarily robot speed
Robot can use a complex spray path, spraying different areas of the part to build film thickness without runs or sags |
Total cost includes robot plus cost of integration into paint system Documentation, training, tool holders, interface electronics, and technical support |
Repeatability of automated spraying saves paint material cost
(Less maintenance, cleanup, lower filter/water wash chemicals, VOCs (Estimated 25 to 30% paint savings for automated system vs. human) |
Robots require attention to cleanliness and preventive maintenance, as well as well trained, and technically knowledgeable staff in addition to paint expertise |
