Thanks to cutting-edge technologies and a highly specialised team, the company offers services such as liquid painting, powder coating, cataphoresis, and protective treatments. To optimise production processes, enhance quality, and improve safety, V.M.L. chose Lesta’s technology and invested in industrial automation with the installation of six industrial painting robots. This strategic decision further strengthens the company’s competitive edge, consolidating its role as a trusted partner for leading brands in the cycling and motorcycling industries.
V.M.L.’s goals: enhanced efficiency, quality and safety in the painting process
As demand and production volumes increased, V.M.L. identified the need to modernise its facility by introducing industrial painting robots, with the aim of achieving:
- Precision finishing: consistent quality and uniformity across all components.
- Production efficiency: shorter cycle times and increased operational capacity.
- Workplace safety: reduced employee exposure to hazardous chemicals.
Lesta proved to be the ideal partner for this transformation, offering tailored automation solutions specifically designed for the coating industry.
The Lesta solution: industrial painting robots with self-learning technology
Lesta installed six modern anthropomorphic painting robots at V.M.L., capable of operating in complex industrial environments for up to 16 hours a day. Thanks to their self-learning technology, these robots faithfully replicate the movements of experienced coaters, significantly enhancing the quality and consistency of the finishes.
The robots are equipped with:
- Advanced control software
- 2D and 3D scanning systems
- Safety features such as collision-avoidance systems
These integrated technologies ensure full process control, a substantial reduction in waste, and high product traceability.
The results: maximum productivity and quality
The integration of industrial painting robots has delivered several tangible benefits to V.M.L.:
- Increased productivity: ability to paint higher volumes without compromising on quality.
- Consistent and high-quality finishes: elimination of the inaccuracies typically associated with manual painting.
- Improved sustainability: reduced paint consumption and lower levels of industrial waste.
- Enhanced worker safety: reduced exposure to hazardous substances and safer working conditions.
Thanks to its partnership with Lesta, V.M.L. has significantly enhanced its painting facility, effectively meeting the growing demands of the market.
