DMC helped its customer design a robot cell for coating an unusually shaped supercharger rotor. DMC programmed the robot to move the spray head at a uniform distance and angle along the surface of the part. The precise robot path follows the complex helical shape of the part. The end result was a cost, time, and material-saving process that improved the quality of the end product over the previous process.
Precision Robotic Coating
Summary
DMC developed a robotic spraying cell that uniformly coats the surface of supercharger rotors.
