Reach curved faces, sidewalls, recesses, edges, and multi-angle surfaces with a six-axis Yaskawa arm that positions the spray gun around the workpiece instead of moving only above it. Programmed motion paths, handheld control, and GRACO air-mix paint delivery keep robot movement and coating application coordinated across repeated production runs.
Application Materials:
Application Coatings:
The painting robot moves the spray gun around three-dimensional workpieces through six independently controlled axes, giving you access to curved faces, sidewalls, recesses, edges, and multi-angle features that cannot be covered from one fixed direction. Yaskawa servo motion keeps the programmed path repeatable, while the spray system stays coordinated with the arm as orientation and reach change around the part.
Instead of limiting the spray head to a straight or reciprocating path, you can teach the arm how to approach each area of the part. The six-axis structure supports:
Once a path has been established, the same motion program can be called again for repeated production, reducing the need to recreate the spray sequence for recurring parts. The control system can store more than 2,600 processing programs for different products and coating routines.
A GRACO medium-pressure air-mix spray gun is mounted at the end of the arm and supplied by a GRACO Merkur 30:1 plunger pump. The spray head can change angle as the robot follows the programmed path, allowing coating application to continue across transitions between faces and contours.
The air-mix system combines coating pressure with atomizing air at the gun. Spray settings and motion parameters can be adjusted around the coating, part geometry, and required finish without changing the six-axis mechanical platform.
Wood, MDF, glass, ceramics, metal, plastic, and other compatible substrates can be processed with UV, PU, PE, NC, AC, water-based, fluorocarbon, adhesive, and other suitable coating systems. For products with different shapes, you can prepare separate motion programs and use a worktable or fixture that holds each part in the required position.
This setup supports recurring production of curved, shaped, and polyhedral components where the spray head must approach the surface from several directions.
The cell can operate as a standalone station or connect with other spray painting equipment in a broader automated process. Where loading, spraying, leveling, drying, and handling are arranged in sequence, it can also form part of a complete coating line.
Custom painting robots of different models are available for various products, and the parameters will vary accordingly. Please contact us.
The six-axis structure employs a multi-joint linkage design, allowing each axis of the robotic painting machine to rotate and oscillate independently. Its overall motion trajectory precisely mimics the agile movements of a human arm, enabling complex spraying operations at multiple angles and orientations, including curved surfaces, thereby ensuring uniform paint adhesion across the workpiece.
High-precision servo motors independently control the movements of the six-axis automatic spraying system. Paired with a central PLC control system, this guarantees a high level of uniformity in coating thickness and colour consistency—even across different batches of workpieces—thus fulfilling the stringent standards for standardisation and precision in coating quality required by premium manufacturing.
The paints and thinners used in spray painting operations frequently contain VOCs. The robotic painting machine can operate autonomously within enclosed spray booths, requiring only 1-2 personnel to handle remote operation and equipment inspections; this eliminates the need for workers to come into close contact with paints and VOCs, thereby preventing the health risks to humans associated with painting operations.
Yaskawa robotic arms boast high flexibility, superior positioning accuracy, fast dynamic response and enduring stability, with protective suits made of premium flame-retardant hermetic materials that deliver anti-contamination and anti-static performance.
The painting robot is equipped with an independent electrical control cabinet and a Yaskawa handheld visual programming controller; capable of storing over 2,600 processing programs, it offers convenient operation and ease of maintenance.
GRACO's adjustable medium-pressure air-mix spray gun, a world-renowned premium brand product, features uniform atomization and soft spraying. It minimizes overspray rebound, and achieves superior coating quality while saving paint.
The durable GRACO Merkur plunger pump features a 30:1 pressure ratio, with fast switching and recovery performance. It delivers a uniform, thick coating and effectively prevents spray unevenness caused by pressure fluctuations.
