The Bottleneck

The friction of powder coating integration

Deploying a highly synchronized powder coating system demands perfect alignment between the robotic arm and the application equipment. For top-tier integrators, traditional setup methods often create process friction. 

  • Delayed production starts 
    Traditional programming methods extend commissioning schedules, delaying the end-user’s factory start-up and severely hurting the overall project ROI. 
  • The specialist bottleneck 
    Relying on specialized programmers to manually plot powder coating trajectories for every new part geometry limits deployment speed and drives up overhead. 
  • Hardware synchronization hurdles 
    Synchronizing standard industrial robots with advanced application tech traditionally requires tedious optimization and extensive on-site troubleshooting. 

The Solution

Intuitive integration for rapid deployment 

  • Agile ABB robot programming 
    By implementing RoboTeach into their automated paint line setups, SURFIN allows factory operators to create robotic trajectories intuitively by demonstration, bypassing the need for expensive specialist interventions. 
  • Hardware harmony 
    The RoboTwin system connected ABB IRB 5510 robots with Nordson Encore HD coating technology, ensuring the entire cell was deployed quickly and without unnecessary roadblocks. 
  • Accelerated ROI 
    The no-code approach enables the rapid introduction of new parts into production, drastically shortening start-up times and delivering a faster return on investment for the end-user.
