Robots in Painting Processes: The Impact on Time and Quality

In the manufacturing industry, quality and efficiency are essential to remain competitive. Painting processes are no exception. Today, robotic paint automation is one of the main innovations that allows companies to improve both the quality of the finish and production times. This technological approach has revolutionized industries such as the automotive industry, where the use of robots in painting processes guarantees consistency, precision and reduced errors.

In this blog, we tell you about how robots optimize industrial painting processes, the impact they have on productivity and quality, and why JMN Soluciones Integrales is your best partner for the installation and management of these projects.

Why Automate Painting Processes?

The use of robots in painting processes is a necessity for companies seeking to improve quality and reduce time in their operations. In sectors such as automotive and manufacturing, the demands for perfect finishes, uniformity and reduction of downtime are extremely high. So the automation of painting with robots is very important.

Advantages of Robot Automation

  1. Paint Application Accuracy: Paint robots are programmed to apply layers of paint with unmatched precision, avoiding waste and ensuring that each product has a uniform finish. This not only improves the appearance, but also the durability of the product.
  2. Reduced Human Errors: Unlike human operators, robots do not tire or make mistakes due to distraction. This ensures greater consistency in the quality of painted products.
  3. Improved Workplace Safety: Painting processes, especially in industrial environments, can involve exposure to hazardous chemicals. By automating these tasks, companies protect their workers from unnecessary risks.

The Impact on Quality and Production Times

One of the biggest benefits of optimizing industrial painting processes with robots is the direct impact on production times. Robots can work continuously without the need for breaks, which means that production volume can increase significantly. In addition, the consistency in the process ensures an improvement in the quality of the final products, with more precise and uniform finishes.

Time Savings with Painting Robots

In a recent project executed by JMN Soluciones Integrales, 8 pedestal robots and their respective electrical and pneumatic control cabinets were installed in a manufacturing plant. The objective of the installation was to increase production and improve the quality of the painting process. Over the course of 12 weeks, the JMN team worked to optimize the installation in a confined space, resulting in a significant increase in the plant’s production capacity.

Thanks to the use of robots in the automotive paint industry, the plant experienced a noticeable reduction in cycle times, allowing the company to meet deadlines more efficiently. This, in turn, increased customer satisfaction by receiving products with impeccable finishes.

Case Study: Installation of Painting Robots by JMN Soluciones Integrales

The case mentioned above is a clear example of how JMN Soluciones Integrales helps companies optimize their industrial processes through automation with robots. This project involved a series of specific challenges, such as the reduced space in the plant, which limited the use of heavy equipment for the installation. However, thanks to JMN’s detailed planning and expertise, the robots were installed efficiently.

Challenges Overcome

  1. Reduced Spacing: One of the main challenges was the limited space in the plant. To overcome this obstacle, the JMN team used specialized solutions such as hydraulic skids, hoists and special trolleys to transport the robots and their control cabinets. In some cases, the clearance between the equipment and the walls was as little as 2 cm, requiring extremely careful maneuvering.
  2. Precise Planning and ExecutionThe installation of the 8 painting robots was completed in 12 weeks, a time that was planned based on the designs provided by the client. Accuracy was critical, as any error in the installation would have affected the plant’s production capacity. 
  3. Specialized Team: For this project, JMN Soluciones Integrales assigned 10 mechanics and 6 electricians, ensuring that the installation went smoothly. The use of a gantry specifically designed to move the control cabinets allowed for a safe and efficient installation in a confined space.

Paint Robots: An Ally for Continuous Improvement

Optimizing industrial painting processes with robots not only translates into time savings, but also into continuous quality improvement. Robots, thanks to their ability to perform repetitive tasks without compromising accuracy, are essential for companies looking to reduce errors and maximize operational efficiency.

Impact on Final Product Quality

Paint robots ensure uniform paint application, which significantly improves product appearance and strength. In addition, customers can be confident that they will receive products with consistent finishes, regardless of production volume. This not only improves product perception in the marketplace, but can also reduce long-term costs by minimizing the need for rework.
