Wood varnishing

Lesta designs and builds automation systems for industrial wood painting, finding numerous applications in manufacturing production. For painting wooden objects, we offer a wide range of dedicated automatic or self-learning solutions, in a way that parallels how industrial automation is applied across many manufacturing sectors. A typical system is the EasyPROG 3D scan.

How the EasyPROG system works for industrial wood painting

This system uses a Lesta LEBOT MV A6 robot installed on a 4-arm carousel equipped with a 3D scanner. The EasyPROG system only needs to be loaded: the carousel brings the piece under the scanner, which captures its shape and position, the software autonomously generates the best painting path, and the robot completes the work.

EasyPROG is also available in a 2D version, equipped with a pair of lasers that identify the position of the piece.

With this wood painting automation system we also install industrial robots Lesta LEBOT I A6, and we also produce a specific version for painting large doors, windows and panels with the EasyPROG system.

Which wood products can be painted

Wood painting covers chairs, furniture and interior decor items, kitchens, panels, boxes and crates, windows, profiles and structures, doors, drawers, chests, urns, funeral caskets, and handles.

Among these sectors, automation for industrial wood painting is particularly widespread in chair and furniture production: a Lesta system can handle an average of 60 chairs per hour, including loading and unloading, maintaining a consistent finish quality that would be difficult to achieve with manual painting at these volumes.

Kitchen manufacturers also rely on these systems to paint doors, panels and components with large, regular surfaces, where color uniformity across the whole production batch is an essential requirement. The same applies to those working with large panels, doors and windows: the version of the system with the Lesta LEBOT I A6 robot makes it possible to follow precise painting paths even on flat, extended pieces, reducing overspray and paint waste compared to manual application.

Benefits of automating industrial wood painting

Automating industrial wood painting brings concrete advantages to those working at these volumes: predictable production times, less dependence on skilled labor for spray painting, and repeatable finish quality batch after batch, a central factor for furniture and kitchen manufacturers who must guarantee the same result on repeated orders over time.

To give you a concrete idea of performance: a Lesta system configured for painting chairs occupies a footprint of about 32.5 square meters and, with automatic loading and unloading included, reaches an average productivity of 60 pieces per hour. This kind of figure is normally what a furniture company needs to assess whether automation is compatible with its production volumes and with the space available in the painting department.

Configuring a system for your production

The advantage of the EasyPROG system, both in the 3D version with scanner and the 2D version with laser, is that it automatically recognizes the shape and position of the piece before painting it: this makes it suitable both for highly standardized production, such as a line of identical chairs, and for contexts where pieces vary from batch to batch, such as custom furniture or small-batch decor components.

Every system for industrial wood painting is configured together with the customer based on the type of piece, the required volumes and the space available, with technical support that follows the company from initial design through to after-installation assistance. If you produce kitchens, furniture, chairs or panels and are considering moving from manual painting to an automated system, you can request a free technical evaluation to understand which configuration best suits your production cycle. For applications on large wooden doors and windows, you can find more details on the dedicated door painting page.
