Phil Morrison of Classic Metal Finishing needed a custom paint machine to apply friction reducing coatings to hydraulic fittings. The cylindrical part required a precise application of coating to the ID and OD of the part. The challenge was to design a system for speed and accuracy while keeping it versatile for the various fitting sizes. Dave Kooienga (Thierica sales) led our team to the engineered solution that includes an index table and Fanuc's new miniature paint robot.
Our system included mounting dual guns to the robot arm to address each surface. The 6-axis robot also gave flexibility with the large variation of parts, thus no setup time lost between fitting type and size. Primary benefits for the customer are material savings, smaller footprint, increased productivity as well as the advantage of being able to add many new part sizes.
