Fiberglass (FRP) and Composites Coating poses unique challenges due to the large, irregular, and often non-uniform nature of the parts (e.g., boat hulls, wind turbine nacelles, cooling tower panels). These parts are too large for standard booths and often require unique handling.
A Fiberglass Coating Robot solution typically features:
Extended Reach and Track Motion: The robot is often mounted on a linear track (seventh axis) to cover large lengths (up to 10-20 meters) in a single pass.
Irregular Curvature Handling: Sophisticated motion control ensures the robot maintains a perfect normal vector to the surface, smoothly transitioning across sharp radii and flat sections.
Two-Component (2K) Material Handling: Many composite coatings are reactive (gel coats, epoxies) and require precise, on-the-fly mixing, a task easily managed and monitored by a robotic system.
Automating this process ensures the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of the final composite product.
