Sandblasting /
Spray painting / Coating
Sandblasting is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or remove surface containments.
Spray painting including electrostatic spray painting is a process by which liquid paint is applied under pressure to an object. Different spraying processes can be used to atomize the paint:
Using a conventional air compressor. Air is driven across the mouth of a small outlet under pressure to draw liquid paint out of the container and produce an air-paint mist from the nozzle of the spray gun.
Airless spray painting. The paint container is pressurized pushing the paint to the nozzle where it is atomized by the spray gun.
An electrostatic spray painting. An electric pump drives the electrostatically charged liquid paint out of the nozzle which is then applied to the object which is earthed.
Powder coating is a process by which electrostatically charged powder is applied onto an earthed object. Spray painting and powder coating are carried out in a variety of industries. For example, items that are commonly spraypainted include motor vehicles, buildings, furniture, white goods, boats, ships, aircraft and machinery.
Challenges within the application
Suggestions for solution bundles alongside our software that is tested within painting/sandblasting
Mimic Platform
Mimic is ideal for this application because it gives full control and freedom to the process experts. It allows craftsmen to intuitively record new skills for new parts within minutes. The programmable buttons on the joystick from the Mimik kit can be programmed to start and stop processes just as activate and deactivate for a blasting tool.
With Mimic, you can record wrist movements to achieve a smooth process for any spray application.
