Yaskawa Motoman has added two high-speed, six-axis models to its paint robot line that are designed to create smooth, consistent finishes for a variety of painting and dispensing applications.
Well-suited for painting smaller components and able to be mounted with a variety of spray guns and small bells, the compact MPX1150 robot has a straight wrist with 5-kg payload capacity. Its small footprint and slim arm design allow for minimum installation space, and an optional location for manipulator cable connection reduces interference with walls. The MPX1150 features a 727-mm horizontal reach, 1,290-mm vertical reach and ±0.02-mm repeatability.
Suited for automotive components and other industrial applications, the MPX2600 robot features a streamlined, upper arm equipped with mounting points to optimize hose routing. Its 15-kg wrist payload allows for mounting a variety of spray guns and large bells, while the large, 70-mm hollow wrist diameter helps prevent paint and air tube interference. The MPX2600 features a 2,000-mm horizontal reach, 3,643-mm vertical reach and ±0.2-mm repeatability.
Both models can be floor-, wall- or ceiling-mounted for layout flexibility. The DX200-FM controller includes application-specific software for paint applications and coordinates operation of the robot and painting devices including spray guns, color changers and gear pumps.RELATED CONTENT

Masking for Surface Finishing
Masking is employed in most any metal finishing operation where only a specifically defined area of the surface of a part must be exposed to a process. Conversely, masking may be employed on a surface where treatment is either not required or must be avoided. This article covers the many aspects of masking for metal finishing, including applications, methods and the various types of masking employed.
