Turnkey Automation Project

Robotic Ultrasonic Spray Coating System

Kavin Inc designed, integrated and commissioned a turnkey robotic ultrasonic spray cell that applies uniform thin-film coatings with high repeatability and minimal material waste. The project covered complete cell design, robot programming, spray system integration and on-site handover.

The Challenge

The customer needed a precise, consistent coating on their components. Manual or conventional spraying led to uneven film thickness, overspray waste of costly coating material, and results that varied from operator to operator. They needed a repeatable, automated process with tight control over coating quality.

Our Solution

We built a complete robotic spray cell that combines industrial robot motion with ultrasonic atomisation. The ultrasonic nozzle produces a fine, soft, low-velocity spray, so more material lands on the part and less is lost as overspray. The robot follows programmed paths at constant speed and stand-off distance to support repeatable coating.
