Towards efficient painting: Achieving teaching-less painting with SWANIST.

◆Features 〈Simplification of Work Processes〉 The tasks of inputting points, editing, and creating registration programs have been simplified, allowing for the import of 3D data and painting simulations to be conducted at an unprecedented speed. 〈Robot Teaching Without Difficult Programming Languages〉 No input instructions using robot programming languages are required. You only need to register the S point (start point), W point (turning point, spray width), and D point (depth point, size of the plane). No special knowledge is necessary. 〈Painting Simulation and Data Creation〉 In a virtual space, actual painting is reproduced. This allows for the confirmation of painting productivity (time reduction, film thickness management, teaching behavior) on the screen. Additionally, by sending the completed data to the robot, similar reproduction becomes possible, enabling immediate implementation of the same painting even from a distance by simply sending the data. 〈Evolution〉 Swanist is continuously evolving towards completely teaching-less painting. We are currently developing technology for fluid analysis of paint mist behavior, paint film, and film thickness, aiming for more advanced virtual painting.

The birth of the "Swan," a painting robot dedicated to rotational painting with an advanced form.

Designed Painting Robot Until now, painting robots had a bland and rigid image. The Swan's role is painting. Since it is a robot that paints beautifully and with high quality, it must also be beautiful itself. Its form eliminates unnecessary bulk and expresses a concept of no waste in painting costs in a slim shape. Developed exclusively for the culmination of painting technology cultivated over many years by Takubo Engineering, the form that realizes this concept has merged with the idea. Its presence resembles a swan floating on a lake, hence the name Swan. Embodying the resilience of living naturally and a look without waste, we entrusted its high performance to the robot, inspired by creatures that thrive in the natural world. Thus, the Swan, a painting robot not just for painting but for surviving through painting, was born.

Supports small quantities and multiple varieties, batch production. Installed in front of existing booths. A robot system that can be produced immediately.

- Use of explosion-proof motors to enhance safety - Equipped with a frame for easy installation - High-precision rotary drive double-turn conveyor system that does not produce defects - Paint circuit capable of coating two items with one robot - Simultaneous production of two ring jigs in a single painting process - Adoption of new technology cross motion bars - Original teaching software that reduces painting and working time - One-cup system to eliminate unnecessary paint usage The technical center features a display of the Swan Robot in operation, and the Swan Robot is installed in a demo room that replicates a painting production environment. Demonstrations of the painting process are currently being accepted.

Solving the painting issues in spindle lines. Ultra C spindle painting, Swan C.

- The painting robot system "Swan C" is a 4-axis robot. It can be equipped with 16 automatic guns as standard, and up to 24 at maximum. The spray gun is uniquely developed specifically for the Swan C. It is ultra-compact and features excellent atomization of fine particles during low-pressure spraying. - Teaching is standardly equipped with the teaching assistant software "Swanist." Inheriting R technology, it has established a digital painting system that realizes visualization of the painting process. Teaching data, condition settings, and more can be managed numerically, promoting digital transformation (DX) in painting. - Even among scattered factories, high reproducibility through data management allows for the sharing of quality and costs. It is possible to establish a comprehensive system for cost management, quality control, and environmental measures.

By replacing fixed spray guns with the painting robot "Swan C" in spindle painting, which arranges multiple fixed spray guns on a popular spindle line, significant cost improvements can be achieved. Applicable Work: Cosmetics, small molded items, lipstick caps and bodies, etc. Applicable Paint: Clear, matte, pearl and metallic, gradient, UV paint, etc. Applicable Coatings: Resin-based, water-soluble, UV, clear, two-component paints, etc. Painting Technology: Robot painting technology based on rotational painting "R technology." Condition setting and teaching data creation using the teaching assistant software "Swanist." Quality is shared among scattered factories through data deployment (limited to robots manufactured by Takubo Engineering).

Explosion-proof painting robot "Swan C" compatible with spindle lines transitions from fixed gun method to robot painting. Significant improvement in high cost structure.

- Optimized for Spindle Coating "Swan C" - - Paints in accordance with the spindle line - Can accommodate work pitch according to the workpiece - Unique development of a super compact spray gun that excels in low-pressure atomization and saves paint - Paint supply device (syringe pump) built into the robot to eliminate quality variation and paint loss costs - Pathway to Digitalization - Achieving the rationalization of painting by digitizing the previously analog-managed painting line. ● Maximizing loss cost reduction by minimizing unnecessary paint consumption ● Verification through fluid analysis to assess coating efficiency ● Evolving painting robots that adapt to the demands of painting and society ● Visualization of painting: comprehensive data management including paint usage, production volume, and management of target workpieces ● Painting DX Swanist: dedicated software that manages everything from teaching to painting conditions

Rotary painting dedicated robot Swan. All necessary equipment for painting is included in one set. Designed for small-batch, diverse production.

This is a compact painting robot specifically designed for rotational painting, following the unique rotational painting technology "R Technology" developed independently by Takubo Engineering. It can paint two rings simultaneously using a circular jig. It comes standard with two specially developed Swan spray guns that excel in atomizing paint at low pressure. This compact painting robot integrates a W-turn mechanism and a four-axis small explosion-proof type robot. It is adaptable to a wide range of workpieces, from cosmetic parts to mobile communication devices and automotive interior and exterior components, efficiently painting small to medium-sized workpieces thinly and beautifully using the principle of thin film multi-coating. The created painting data can be easily shared among Swan robots with simple settings, eliminating variations in painting quality between factories located in different regions.

Everything is for the sake of cost. We reduce paint consumption and achieve painting with low running costs.

**Scalability of Swan Pro** ■ Attachments that can be expanded according to work and production volume are available - Self-rotation and revolution attachment (for cosmetics industry such as Rouge) - 8-top attachment (for rotational coating of optical lenses, etc.) - Spindle attachment (double turn spindle) ■ Capable of batch processing, automatic operation, and supporting 2-coat and 3-coat applications - Swan Pro batch type - Swan Pro automatic type: 1 robot 2-coat system - Swan Pro automatic type: 2 robots 2-coat system - Swan Pro automatic type: 3 robots 3-coat system *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

<Supports small to large-scale production> Low-cost rotational painting robot SWAN-S that enhances mass production efficiency.

◆Features 〈Improved mass production effect at low cost〉 By simultaneously rotating and painting two-ring jigs per robot, it allows for connection of up to 2 guns (a total of 4 guns), enabling multi-color coating. Quick color changes can be made, significantly reducing the time required for setup and color changes. 〈Enhanced mass production effect with multiple installations〉 We respond to users who wish to gradually increase production capacity while considering future mass production. By installing SWAN-S on a continuous line, mass production becomes possible. Additionally, by combining the unique technology of rotational painting with the Dragon Line (our patented technology), overall energy costs can be significantly reduced. *For details on the Dragon Line, please refer to the following page: https://www.takubo.co.jp/j/product/system/dragonline.html
