The fashion and textile industry, particularly denim finishing, presents unique spraying challenges (acid washing, whiskering effects). Manually creating these artistic finishes leads to high variability and environmental concerns.
Specialized Jeans Spraying Workstations, such as those provided by Xi, are designed specifically for this task:
Process-Specific Design: The workstation integrates fixtures and conveying systems tailored for denim fabric handling and flipping.
Precise Effect Reproduction: The robot can accurately replicate the human artistry of fading or shadowing effects, converting an experienced worker’s unique style into a consistent, reproducible program via Drag-and-Teach.
Environmental Compliance: Enclosed robotic systems significantly reduce the spread of chemicals (often used in denim finishing) into the atmosphere, ensuring a cleaner operation and better compliance with international textile standards.
This niche application demonstrates the value of application-specific robots over general-purpose systems.
