Oxford Industrial Automation
Robotic spraying and coating

Consistent robotic spraying across complex product geometry.

Automated spraying can repeat gun path, speed, angle and distance around varied workpieces. The robot, process equipment and protected environment must be selected for the actual material and zone classification.

Production outcomes

What the cell is designed to achieve.

Performance is confirmed against representative products, the complete process and agreed acceptance criteria.

01Repeat gun path and stand-off distance

Application outcome to validate during concept engineering.

02Improve consistency across product geometry

Application outcome to validate during concept engineering.

03Reduce direct operator exposure

Application outcome to validate during concept engineering.

04Store recipes for defined product variants

Application outcome to validate during concept engineering.

Engineering sequence

How the application is defined before equipment selection.

The concept is developed from the full production sequence. This prevents the robot from being selected around one isolated pick while missing presentation, machine time, product variation or operator interaction.

  • Define coating material and process hazards
  • Review part geometry and presentation
  • Select suitable protected robot and process equipment
  • Model coverage path and fixture access
  • Engineer booth, extraction and safety interfaces
  • Validate finish, transfer efficiency and cleaning
Project information

What to send for a useful feasibility review.

The quality of the first concept depends on the information available. Photographs and video are useful, but product and process data allow payload, reach, cycle and interfaces to be checked more reliably.

  • Material safety and process data
  • Workpiece CAD, dimensions and mass
  • Required coverage, thickness and finish
  • Current booth, extraction and utilities
  • Product fixtures and indexing method
  • Cleaning, colour-change and waste requirements
Practical answers

Frequently asked questions

These answers provide an initial planning framework. Final requirements are confirmed against the product, process, site and applicable safety obligations.

Can any industrial robot be used for paint spraying?

No. The robot and associated equipment must be suitable for the material, environment and hazardous-area requirements. Purpose-designed protection may be necessary.

How is spray coverage programmed?

Paths can be developed from product geometry and refined through trials to control gun angle, distance, speed, overlap and triggering.

Can one cell spray different products?

Recipes and flexible fixtures can support variants, but gun access, cleaning, colour change and cycle must be evaluated across the range.

What information is needed for a spraying project?

Provide material and safety data, product geometry, target finish, current method, booth and extraction information, required output and cleaning/changeover requirements.
