An automated painting system, involving an industrial robot, is claimed to save significant resources by its developer, the Fraunhofer Institute.
The robotic system – called SelfPaint – is said by Fraunhofer to offer reductions of 20 percent in paint use, 15 percent in energy consumption and 5 percent in production time.
These are “significant advantages” compared to manual painting operations, which have previously been the preferred option, adds Fraunhofer. [Read more…] about New robotic painting system saves ‘significant’ resources, claims Fraunhofer
