Industrial painting robots automate spray painting, liquid and powder coating, priming and other finishing processes with repeatable motion and precise application control. A properly designed robotic painting system can improve coating consistency, reduce paint waste, increase production capacity and limit worker exposure to fumes, overspray and hazardous environments.
FANUC painting robots are finished and certified here in the US to ensure the highest level of safety, performance and quality is achieved, including approving the robots’ ability to safely work in hazardous painting environments.
Robotic arms can move at a constant speed, ensuring an even coating across surfaces. Plus, painting robots offer precision and repeatability to give a consistent finish each time.
With paint robots, the right amount of paint and/or finishing product is applied correctly and consistently. Even coatings ensure no extra coating material, which saves costs, as well as the desired finish will be achieved, which reduces scrap product.
Painting robots can significantly boost production and efficiency, enabling increases in demand to be met without needing to hire extra staff.
Robots automating painting, powder coating, liquid and fiberglass applications keep workers from working with potentially harmful fumes and chemicals.
Industrial painting robots are programmable robotic arms designed to apply paint, coatings, primers and other finishing materials with controlled speed, position and spray patterns. FANUC painting robots and paint cobots help manufacturers improve finish consistency, automate repetitive spray operations, reduce material waste and limit worker exposure to paint fumes, overspray and hazardous environments.

Learn how these solutions work, what equipment a complete system may include and which factors to consider when selecting a robot for your painting or finishing process.
A painting robot is a programmable industrial robotic arm used to apply paint, primer, powder, gelcoat or other finishing material. It controls the applicator’s path, speed, position and orientation to support repeatable coating processes.
Industrial paint robots can automate spray painting, liquid and powder coating, priming, sealing, dispensing, gelcoat application and other finishing operations. Suitability depends on the part, material, applicator, booth and required production rate.
Consider the size and shape of the part, required reach, applicator payload, mounting position, booth dimensions, coating material, cycle time, production mix and hazardous-environment requirements.
A paint cobot can automate suitable painting and coating tasks, particularly in flexible or high-mix operations. The complete application still requires an appropriate risk assessment, paint-delivery system, ventilation and safeguards for the material and environment.
Specific paint robot models are designed for defined hazardous painting environments. The complete system must be evaluated and installed according to the applicable classifications, materials and safety requirements.
