Injection moulder installs painting robots
Plastic injection moulding experts Rosti (Scotland), based in Larkhall near Glasgow, installed its first ABB paint robots in 1994 to evaluate their merits against manual spraying.
The IRB5400 utilises a new style process arm with the paint application equipment, ABB's Integrated Process System (IPS), mounted in its upper section.
The IPS features closed-loop regulation and high-speed control for paint and airflow adjustment, ensuring minimal overspray and uniform paint film build.
The Paintbox robot order includes the incorporation of computer aided programming (CAP) software, as well as full robot programming and training, which will be carried out in collaboration with ABB in Malmo, Sweden.
ABB Account Manager, Paul Carter comments: "The order was secured through a combination of factors including ABB's strong relationship with ADAC Paintbox, the customer's existing knowledge of ABB paint robots, and the significant paint savings that ABB process arm robots can deliver." Paintbox specialises in the top quality finishing of a wide range of plastic components for automotive and teletronic industries.
Its new unified Banbury production complex comprises three spray booths, two baking ovens, two paint-mixing rooms, two preparation areas, two cleaning areas, eight polishing bays and three machinery rooms.
