A mass production system for spray coating that has never been achieved until now is finally here. Indium Mirror Coating System The indium plating paint "Ecomirror 49" and the painting robot "Swan Pro" realize plating coating. Through the collaboration of paint and engineering, we have made it possible to mass-produce a higher level of plating coating. The technology developed by Takubo Engineering for robotic painting uniformly applies the indium plating paint as a thin film. It maintains high-level transmission performance, such as for millimeter waves. The finish is achieved through an automatic painting system in a clean room, ensuring thorough measures against defects, similar to the production of piano black. We will commercialize a coating that maintains design and functionality while simultaneously addressing quality, cost, and environmental issues.

From May 17 to 19, 2018, we sponsored the Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd. Solution Fair 2018, where we showcased the latest teaching assist software "Swanist" specifically designed for painting robots, along with live demonstrations. ◎ Latest Teaching Assistant Software for Painting Robots: "Swanist" The teaching tasks that previously required robot language input can now be performed semi-automatically. The software simplifies tasks such as point input, editing, and program creation, allowing for easy operation on a computer. Swanist can replay teaching data and conduct simulations in a virtual space. At the same time, it can reproduce movements with the Swan robot, enabling data creation while confirming the movements. In the future, we aim for full automation, from reading work data to automatic teaching, fluid analysis, and data conversion. The exhibition also featured live demonstrations of "Jet Design." 2018/05/29 Public Relations Office

The maintenance inspection door for filter replacement and cleaning, designed on the back of the oil booth, which is a collection booth for overspray mist specifically for painting, has been improved from a conventional single-door design to a double-door design, making it lighter. This allows for easier removal during inspections, enabling more efficient maintenance work. The oil booth is a painting booth that uses oil to address various issues on-site, such as work environment, pollution, and quality, which could not be achieved with a water wash booth. It features a dust removal efficiency of 95% and a low noise design of 68 dB, allowing for conversations and meetings in front of the booth. Additionally, the oil can be used semi-permanently, and there is no need for drainage treatment equipment, allowing for a flexible layout. The oil booth is a product exclusive to Takubo Engineering Co., Ltd.

Rotary Coating Test by the Painting Robot Swampro We have uploaded a video of the painting test for metal eyeglass frames to the YouTube Takubo Engineering Channel, Takubo-TVJ. Six eyeglass frames are attached per ring, and the painting takes about 100 seconds. This calculates to approximately 17 seconds of painting per workpiece. (The painting time may vary depending on the shape of the workpiece and the specifications of the paint.)

Painting Robot Multiple Gun Attachment for Swan Pro ● Supports Internal/External Painting with Rotational Coating We have developed a multiple gun attachment for Swan Pro that supports internal and external painting with rotational coating. The internal painting of the workpiece required for rotational coating can be challenging due to the difficulty of reaching certain areas with the spray gun, which can lead to uneven coating. To overcome this issue, we developed a gun attachment capable of both internal and external painting specifically for Swan Pro. ● Development Started Before 2012 Takubo Engineering began developing a turret gun in 2012 to address the challenges of internal painting. It was developed for rotational coating applications such as mobile phones and door mirrors. We have developed a 3-gun specification, a 4-gun (cross gun) specification, and a 2-gun specification turret gun for the Swan robot, adding to our lineup. ● Mobile Phones and Door Mirrors Initially developed for painting applications such as mobile phones and door mirrors, the demand for internal painting increased due to the design requirements of the workpieces. ● Door Handles and More The target workpieces are diverse. This is particularly effective when painting the insides of workpieces mounted on rotating fixtures, such as door handles and door mirrors.

Swamp Pro Door Mirror Painting System Centered around the new painting robot "Swamp Pro," we offer a standardized lineup of 1. Door Mirror Painting System and 2. Door Handle Painting System. This is a dedicated painting system for exterior automotive parts, specifically for door mirrors and door handles. We standardize specifications for achieving robotic painting based on proven results, including jig shapes, teaching data, paint supply devices, dust removal and static elimination devices, and clean room systems. As long as we have basic information such as required production volume, paint specifications, and installation space for the painting system, we can immediately construct the painting system. Proposing the optimal system Based on painting tests conducted with the Swamp Robot, we calculate painting data and, after evaluating the paint film, propose the system. Maximizing the effectiveness of equipment introduction by reducing paint usage The comparison between conventional painting data and painting data from the Swamp Robot makes the judgment clear. We highly recommend conducting painting tests for new installations, replacements, or updates of painting systems. If the test results show a reduction of approximately 0.5g or more in paint usage per workpiece, we recommend immediate equipment introduction.

The Dry Tech, a dedicated drying machine for painting, can be equipped with an explosion vent. Due to its indirect heating method, the structure is designed to minimize the risk of fire entering the furnace, making the danger of explosion extremely low. However, as a precaution against any potential risks, an explosion vent can be designed as an option. Additionally, a seismic cutoff device can also be installed upon request. What is an explosion vent? An explosion vent is an opening that instantaneously opens to reduce equipment damage in the event of an explosion caused by igniting vaporized solvents inside the furnace during the drying process. What is a seismic cutoff device? A seismic cutoff device is a mechanism that detects a certain level of shaking and cuts off the supply of fuel (such as electricity or gas).

The drying machine "Drytech" for painting is compatible with trolley lines. The "Drytech," which has long been compatible with trolley lines such as the Yamagata drying furnace, can also accommodate batch-type dryers on trolley lines.
