Introduction : Powder coating has been introduced for general-purpose valves to prevent rust. The earthquake-resistant valves used solvent coating applied by hand spray, but due to the worsening of the working environment, heavy workload on workers, increased demand and a growing environmental awareness, an automated water-based coating system was introduced. Powder coating of general-purpose valves has reduced paint usage by 10 to 20%. In the automation of water-based coating, the number of line-workers was decreased from 7 to 1, which greatly reduced the manpower and workload.

Introduction : The company involves the coating of medical / communications equipment, primarily optical equipment such as cameras. Previously, all non-optical instruments were coated manually, leading to limited productivity. To address this issue, the latest system has been introduced, incorporating robotic assistance.
Benefits : The implementation of the new system resulted in a significant productivity increase, allowing for the coating of 150 to 200 units daily, compared to the previous limitation of 50 units. Robotic assistance has relieved workers of burdensome tasks, such as pre-correction, leading to a reduction in paint usage by approximately 25% per piece compared to manual spraying.

Purpose of introduction : Painting defects such as uneven surface occurs in the hand spray process.
To reduce the defect rate and save labor, a robot has been introduced.
Benefit : The synergistic effect of the robot and the spray gun with high transfer efficiency has greatly improved the quality of the coating film.
Defect occurrence reduced by 40%, paint consumption and paint waste reduced by 10%. It has also significantly reduced the time and cost of repainting.
