Achieving a high level of decorative performance and excellent cost performance.

High-Precision Decoration By adopting high-precision linear rails, the algorithm for the moving work and the ink impact is calculated with high accuracy, allowing for precise ink application. It draws at a pixel level, accurately and faithfully reproducing the installed design. Wide Production Range Possible from Small Batches Production can be done from a single workpiece. The notion that "without a large quantity, costs won't add up" is a thing of the past. There is no waste of ink, and with no overspray, there is no need for a booth. The equipment is also compact, resulting in no cost loss. Improved Yield With a unique head configuration technology that combines CMYK plus LED-UV irradiation, the film is completed instantly, leaving no room for dust or defects. This enables high-speed and high-quality film formation. CMYK Plus LED-UV Irradiation The uniquely developed CMYK multi-head ink system is equipped with LED-UV irradiation devices. The calculated program applies UV irradiation where necessary, allowing the film to form instantly. Jet Design System Dedicated Decoration Ink "Jetron" The original dedicated ink "Jetron," which achieves the highest decoration performance, comprehensively meets requirements for expressiveness, film quality, high-speed decoration, and low VOC emissions.

Achieving a consistent production line from molding to decoration, UV hard coating, and assembly.

What is needed for operation is only image data and a dedicated coating agent, which allows for the precise spraying of droplets at any location on a moving flat workpiece based on images created on a PC, enabling UV coating. Since the droplet application is done accurately along the flexible images, there is no waste, and it allows for reduced masking. Additionally, because there is minimal splatter, large local exhaust systems are not necessary. Being a modular type, it can be used as a standalone unit or integrated into a production line.

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.

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.

Antenna cover - Strong against shark antenna painting - Swan. Reducing running costs determined by rotational painting.

Using a swan for the painting robot, multiple shark antennas are attached to a circular ring fixture, and two Scotch guns are mounted. Painting will be done simultaneously on two rings. Number of works: 10 pieces, painting time: approximately 43 seconds per 2 fixtures, paint usage: approximately 6g per piece.

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.

Easy to set up with a compact design, allowing for immediate painting production after installation. A safety-enhanced explosion-proof painting robot.

Explosion-proof Painting Robot Swan - Autonomous 4-axis Robot: The Swan, developed specifically for rotary painting, is composed of the minimum number of axes necessary for painting. Additionally, a newly developed cross-motion bar enables the realization of rotary painting, establishing a robot dedicated to painting. - R Technology Dedicated Robot: The Swan is a robot specifically for rotary painting. It rotates the workpiece and paints using an original Scotch gun that excels in atomization at low pressure. The multi-coating method with thin films allows for high-quality painting with minimal paint consumption. - Simultaneous Painting with Two Guns: Takubo Engineering has been working on technology to maximize production efficiency with a single robot, and this concept is inherited in the Swan. It is equipped with a proficient syringe pump system that supplies a balanced and consistent amount of paint to multiple guns, eliminating product variation. - Built-in W Turn Mechanism: The high-precision W turn eliminates defects after painting and considers automation in conjunction with handling robots. The equipment configuration supports everything from batch processing to automation. - Complete Set of Necessary Equipment for Painting: The gun, robot, transport device, rotary mechanism, controller, and syringe pump are packaged and sold as a set.

All work starts with rotation. Costs change with rotational coating!

○The concept of rotating application Compared to traditional methods of painting with the workpiece stationary, this painting technology offers significant advantages due to the principles of thin-film multi-coating, including reduced painting time, controlled film thickness, decreased paint consumption, and even miniaturization of equipment. ○"R Technology" that enables rotational painting Achieved through advanced coordination and control of equipment involved in painting, such as a spray gun with excellent low-pressure atomization and particle size control, robot control, rotation control, and booth (airflow control). The R technology is designed to finish thinly, quickly, and beautifully. Benefits of rotational painting - Enables control of film thickness. - Allows for thin-film coating. - Achieves high-quality finishes. - Reduces waste of paint. - Facilitates management of the painting process.
