To make the industrial coating process more efficient, faster and precise, the use of robots that automate painting operations is essential. However, to perform the proper coating process, it is necessary to instruct the robot on the application path to follow, which varies depending on the geometry of the piece. To meet this need, Lesta developed Easy PROG 3D Scan, an innovative solution that simplifies and speeds up the programming of painting robots. Thanks to an advanced 3D scanner, this software system can automatically detect the shape of the object, generate the optimal coating path and transfer it directly to the robot. This allows the robot to paint autonomously and with high accuracy with both liquid paints and powder coatings.
What is Easy PROG 3D Scan?
Easy PROG 3D Scan is an advanced software system with a 3D scanner mounted on a carousel. This technology is designed to scan three-dimensional objects and automatically generate the coating paths required for their finishing. Specific recipes for each type of product to be painted can be created directly from the Robot Controller screen.
The system easily handles parts of various sizes and shapes, including panels, boxes, drawers and curved objects such as car spoilers or round glass tables. In addition, it is compatible with industrial robots like KUKA or the Lesta LEBOT MV A6, as well as other robots.
The Advantages of Easy PROG 3D Scan
- Complete automation: Easy PROG 3D Scan fully automates the initial stages of the coating process. The system scans the parts, generates the coating path and enables the robot to apply the paint with precision and consistency. This results in significant time savings, cost reduction and overall optimisation of the production workflow.
- Flexibility in handling parts: the system can work with objects of various shapes and sizes, including non-standard items such as curved surfaces, large or extra-large flat panels and parts with complex geometries. Its versatility makes it the ideal choice for companies that need to paint a wide range of products.
- Consistent coating quality: thanks to precise scanning and automatic path generation, Easy PROG 3D Scan ensures uniform coverage of the entire surface, avoiding uncoated areas or uneven application.
- User-friendly interface: the system features a simple and intuitive user interface that allows to create customised painting recipes. Using a barcode scanner or touchscreen, the operator can quickly select the correct recipe for each type of part, reducing human error and speeding up operations.
- Time and resource savings: automation eliminates the need for manual painting operations, optimising labour resources and reducing production time. This leads to higher productivity and more efficient use of both time and materials.
Who Can Benefit from Easy PROG 3D Scan?
Easy PROG 3D Scan is the perfect solution for various categories of industrial manufacturers who require an automated coating system. Among them:
- Kitchen and furniture manufacturers: those who need to paint panels, drawers and other furniture components can take great advantage of process automation, achieving flawless results across a wide range of shapes and sizes, without the need for manual intervention.
- Door manufacturers: doors require coating on both sides and along the edges. Easy PROG 3D Scan handles these tasks effortlessly, ensuring uniform and consistent paint coverage of the entire surface.
- Manufacturers of curved objects: the system is ideal for painting items with curved geometries, such as round tables or other non-linear surfaces.
- Companies coating small parts: even the coating of small components, such as buttons or hardware, can be optimised using Easy PROG 3D Scan, which handles the smallest items with the same precision and high-quality coating as larger ones.
Lesta’s Easy PROG 3D Scan is a game-changer in the industrial coating sector, offering a fully automated system that delivers precision, efficiency, and superior quality.
