Automation for liquid and powder coating of metal surfaces, components and products of any size.

Advanced Robotic Painting Solutions for the Metal Industry

Metal coating requires uniform coverage, repeatability and control of the deposited material, even on edges, recesses, articulated surfaces and parts with very different geometries. CMA Robotics develops robotic cells and systems for liquid and powder coating, configured according to the workpiece, conveyor, booth and application technology.

Solutions can be designed for repetitive production or for lines with high product variability. Vision systems, 3D scanners and automatic part recognition make it possible to identify position and shape and, where required, automatically generate the painting program.

For powder-coating processes, CMA can also automate pre-touch-up operations, which are especially important for improving coverage and penetration in difficult areas before the parts enter the automatic coating stations.

Our industrial painting robots ensure consistent protective and decorative coating on metal workpieces, improving process efficiency, reducing manual labour and optimising material consumption. Fully customisable automated finishing systems designed and manufactured in Italy.

Applications

Robotic liquid and powder coating.
Boilers, electric motors, mechanical components and metal surfaces.
Automatic pre-touch-up on powder-coating lines.
Agricultural components and products conveyed on overhead conveyors.
Cast-iron parts and industrial components.
Multi-colour applications and integration with booths and spray equipment.
Shape recognition, part-position detection and automatic program generation via vision systems and 3D scanners.

Benefits of CMA automation

More uniform coverage, including on complex geometries and difficult areas.
Repeatable cycles and stable coating quality.
Optimized paint or powder consumption.
Reduced manual touch-up and rework.
Automatic handling of mixed batches and parts with different shapes.
Greater production continuity and integration with conveyors and existing lines.

Programming and process technologies

Programming can be carried out in PTP mode, through Self-Teaching or by means of vision systems and automatic program generation. Self-Teaching records the operator’s motions directly and reproduces them automatically, while 3D systems are particularly suitable when parts and positions need to be recognized automatically on the line.

Offline Programming makes it possible to simulate and optimize the cycle on a computer, adjusting trajectories and parameters before transferring the program to the robot.

From a single robot to complete automation, CMA develops the system around the part geometry, the coating technology and the production logic of the line.
