FEASIBILITY OF PAINTING ROBOTS
R. Dillon Boylan · 1982
This paper presents the major criteria that must be considered for using a painting robot. Briefly summarized as questions, these criteria are: (1) Can it paint the part with some known simpler, cheaper method? (2) Can the robot paint the part at all? (3) Can the robot paint the part in the time that I can allocate to the operation? (4) Can the robot fit into my existing paint booths? (5) How do I I.D. the part so the robot knows what it is painting? (6) How do I locate the part for the robot? (7) Where will I locate the electronics and hydraulics?
