CASE STUDY
Robotic System for Volumetric Dispensing of Protective Paint on Diamond Blades
The customer required a robotic solution for volumetric dispensing of protective paint on diamond cutting blades. The primary objective was to ensure uniform paint application, prevent the inhalation of toxic substances, and provide precise process control under varying conditions of temperature, viscosity, and fluid pressure. Additionally, it was essential to have complete process control and accurate data recording.
01
Provided Solution
To meet the customer’s requirements, we designed and implemented an advanced robotic system with the following features:Â
Depressurized Cabin
Safe Working Environment
The cabin is designed to maintain a safe working environment, preventing the inhalation of toxic substances through controlled depressurization. This is crucial for protecting operator health and maintaining air quality within the cabin.
Nozzle and Dispensing
Custom Nozzle
Specifically designed for paint distribution on diamond blades, ensuring precise and uniform application.
Advanced Volumetric Dispensing
Using PCP progressive cavity volumetric pumps, the system ensures consistent dispensing unaffected by temperature, viscosity, and pressure variations, allowing for well-defined disc edges and even coating.
Positioning and Equipment
Adjustable Positioning
The positioning system is equipped with adjustable supports to accommodate varying disc sizes, enhancing the system’s flexibility.
Capacitive Start Button
Equipped with a multicolor indicator light to signal the process status, simplifying operation and monitoring.
Curing and Control System
Infrared Lamp
Used for curing the paint, with adjustable intensity to meet specific process requirements.
Laser System
For detecting the presence of the part, ensuring each disc is treated correctly.
Process Management and Data Management
Panel PC and Industry 4.0
The process is managed via an advanced Panel PC, which allows data storage on a company server. This ensures complete process traceability and compliance with Industry 4.0 standards.
Recipe Selection
The system allows recipe selection via barcode, QR code, or Data Matrix reader, simplifying configuration and changing painting specifications.
Feeding and Recirculation System
Original Drum Feeding
Includes a recirculation and mechanical agitator system to maintain the paint homogeneous and ready for use, preventing sedimentation and separation.
02
