Development of Automated Spray-Painting System for Anti-Static Coating Process

This paper is presented to document a development process of automated system for the spray-painting process and for the purpose of advantage of implementation of automation to the production line instead of manual spray process and know-how of thickness control when applying three spray guns compared to single gun as normally implemented in automated spraying system. Three spraying could reduce the process time to spray the workpieces, in this case, is airplane wing's parts built from composite material. But these three guns automations system comes with challenging tasks in order to find an even thickness of overlapping spray pattern coming from these three separated guns. Ultimately, various studies on atomization parameters and other factors resulted in successful mass production.
