RoboSpray – Upholstery Edition » Industrial Robotics
Leave all the adhesive spraying operations in upholstery production to the robot
When visiting upholstery factories, we observed significant room for improvement regarding the efficiency of glue spraying operations. Valuable production time is wasted as workers continuously pick up and put down the glue spraying gun, search for foam parts, and perform other time-consuming tasks.
However, inefficiency can be eliminated!
By implementing a robotic solution for upholstery glue spraying – RoboSpray all manual glue spraying operations can be automated, allowing employees to concentrate solely on the preparation of new parts and the application of foam to the objects that have already been sprayed. This optimisation significantly enhances operational efficiency. Moreover, the use of RoboSpray enables less experienced workers to be employed in glue spraying operations, as the system eliminates the need for specialised knowledge to operate a spray gun. Training new employees becomes easier while consistent and high-quality glue application is maintained at the same time.
Advantages of the RoboSpray – Upholstery Edition
- Reducing time-consuming actions. Elimination of tasks such as searching for and handling the spray gun allows employees to focus on the preparation of parts and the application of foam to the frame.
- Consistency. The robotic system maintains constant quality and output of the adhesive application, ensuring repeatable results throughout the production process.
- Efficiency. Workers can focus on the preparation of new parts and the application of foam to the frame while the robot handles the glue spraying operations, maximising productivity.
- User friendly. EASY TO TEACH technology simplifies robot programming and diminishes the learning curve, making it easy for employees to operate the system just by showing the robot how to spray.
- Versatility. The system can accommodate furniture of different types and dimensions within a single robotic cell, providing flexibility in production.
- Productivity. Up to three workers can simultaneously handle six products, optimising output and throughput.
- Batch production capability. The system can be quickly reconfigured to accommodate different batches of products.
- No skill requirement. Less qualified employees can be employed in foam-applying operations since they will not need to use the glue gun.
- Safety. Hazardous working conditions are avoided as the robot takes over the spraying operations, minimising potential risks for workers.
- Information display. Monitors located near each workstation provide relevant production information, including work time, downtime, foam part placement instructions, upcoming batches, and more.
- Employee integration. New employees can be easily integrated into the operation process, as the system provides a structured workflow.
- Systemic work. Workers operate independently within a unified system, meeting specific timeframes and maximising productivity levels.
Sharing the workload with an industrial robot
The RoboSpray – Upholstery Edition brings a significant boost in efficiency by not only eliminating manual gluing operations, but also integrating workers into a cohesive and synchronised system. This innovative solution lets the workers operate independently within a predetermined timeframe, maximising the overall productivity. Multiple workstations with double-sided suction booths facilitate seamless production, with the workers focusing on their tasks while the robot handles adhesive spraying operations on the other side. This setup enables simultaneous processing of different batches across multiple workstations, optimising production efficiency.
