Robotic Applications

Robotic Processing & Finishing Solutions

Some applications add material. Others remove it. MCRI designs robotic and automated systems for both, helping manufacturers create more repeatable processes while reducing difficult, dirty and highly repetitive manual work.

Robotic paint spray and dispensing automation

Apply It

Paint, Dispense & Spray Automation

Automate the application of coatings, adhesives, sealants and process materials with equipment designed around the part, material and required finish.

Applications Include
Robotic painting, automated spray, gel coat and fiberglass chop, powder coating, porcelain enamel, adhesives, sealants, polyurea and precision fluid dispensing.

Robotic material removal and surface treatment automation

Remove It. Finish It.

Material Removal & Surface Treatment

Use robotics to perform repetitive removal, finishing and surface-treatment processes with controlled motion and consistent process parameters.

Applications Include
Sanding, grinding, trimming, cutting, drilling, reaming, tapping, deflashing, polishing and automated surface-treatment processes.

Why Automate the Process?

Let the Robot Handle the Repetition

Processing and finishing applications are often exactly the kind of work robotics does well: repetitive motion, controlled paths and jobs operators would rather not perform all day.

More Consistent Results
Repeatable motion and process control help reduce variation from part to part.
Less Operator Exposure
Move people away from paint, dust, debris, chemicals and other difficult processes.
Built for Production
Integrate robots with tooling, controls, material delivery, part handling and surrounding equipment.
Flexible Automation
Recipes, tooling and programming can support changing parts, processes and production needs.

Adding Material or Taking It Away?

Either way, start with the process. MCRI can help determine the robot, tooling and automation approach that makes sense for the application.
