[Surface Treatment Case] Improvement of Sliding in Robot Conveyance - Coating with Excellent Slipperiness

We solve transportation challenges with coatings that excel in lubricity and wear resistance to prevent robots from stalling.

- Smooth operation of the line is necessary for the automation of transport lines using robots. ■ Sites requiring surface treatment - Factories aiming for increased manufacturing efficiency and speed. - Sites where the transport line is being accelerated to match the high-speed movement of robots, raising concerns about jams and difficulties in flow. ■ Points of innovation - By applying surface treatments that improve slipperiness to guides and chutes on the transport line, we can prevent troubles such as jams and difficulties in flow. - For example, in lines where unstable shapes are supported by guides or in transport processes for products with grip, changing the slipperiness of contact surfaces through coating can smoothen transport and reduce the likelihood of sudden line stoppages. ■ Coatings to improve robot transport troubles - Bi-Coat® "Slipperiness + Wear resistance" - Convex coating for reduced contact area "Slipperiness + Reduced contact area" - Teflon™ fluororesin coating "Slipperiness + Prevention of product scratches" *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

basic information

■Coating for Improved Slipperiness By applying a "Teflon (TM) fluoropolymer coating," objects become easier to slide. Furthermore, with "Bicoat (R)," the combination of fluoropolymer with metals or ceramics enhances the wear resistance of the coating, and the "unique reduced contact area convex surface coating" can achieve a higher level of slipperiness by altering the surface shape. The improvement in slipperiness also contributes to safety measures by preventing material entanglement and component snagging.
