PRODUCTION OF PAINT DRYING ROBOTS WITH THE INFRARED GAS FED CATALYTIC SYSTEM
With traditional drying booths, which transmit heat by
convection (i.e.: by moving hot air), it is necessary to
heat the 80/120 sq. m of the painting booth, even if the
piece is limited. There is an evident waste of both time
and heat. Moreover with the arrival of two component
products, which double the painting drying phases, body shop
workers have found themselves with the problem of having to
speed up work cycles for obvious reasons.
The two innovative systems that Ionitec proposes satisfies
these needs, improving the quality of results and taking
less time than traditional systems.
The two models are the same regarding safety, strength and
management of controls.
They differentiate only regarding the working width of
movement.
- ATON Gold has two emitting semi-arches controlled
symmetrically or independently.
- ATON Silver possesses only one semi-arch of greater
width able to rotate around the vehicle.
Main features of the ATON systems
1) Semi-arches which are totally independent both regarding
movement and regulation.
2) Total arch for uniform covering of painted surface (particularly
for roofs and boots)
3) Standard anti-collision safety system.
4) Control system with 15”Industrial Personal Computer with
graphic colour PLC virtual Touch screen. Work environment
Microsoft Windows XP
5) Remote assistance on-line through Internet. The ATON
system can send malfunctioning messages automatically to the
Ionitec assistance centre.
6) Single robot for booths 3800 mm to 4500 mm.
7) Complete rotation around vehicle with adjustable movement
and rotation speeds from 100 to 2500 mm/min
8) Possibility to dry vehicles width 1400 mm to 2000 mm
without any changes to programming.
9) Independent structure from spray booth allowing perfect
ATON movement.
10) Maximum measurements of vehicle to dry – height 1930 mm(without
roof drying), width from 1200 mm, height of ATON from ground
80 mm (Possible if compatible with booth size)
11) The system carries out continuous working auto-diagnosis
with visualization of malfunctioning messages.
12) Sound alarm fitting in the eventuality of breakdown of
the control system (watch dog)
13) Automatic control of temperature of the catalytic panels.
14) Complete rotation for up to three painted parts per
cycle.
15) During drying process it is possible to keep oven
switched off (given the intrinsic certified safety of
catalytic panels), that is:
- No energy consumption
- Considerable temperature increase inside booth with good
drying of parts including those not directly irradiated.
16) Incorporated device to avoid the necessity of perfect
vehicle alignment
ATON Options
1. Space wagon solution: automatic lifting of semi-arches
for drying roofs height up to 2000 mm.
2. Possibility to conform catalytic panel inclination to
follow profile of drying piece. Each semi-arch regulates its
own distance with ultrasound keeping it continually
unaltered from stat to finish of work.
3. Possibility of stainless steel guard for easy cleaning.
