The situation
A mid-sized company: plastic parts for medical technology in batch sizes of 5 to 200. At each of the roughly four spray walls, a person stood spraying all day. The owner decided after visiting one of our systems.
What we built
A self-learning Lesta robot with a four-arm carousel and a turning unit. Plus a 2K supply with four independent circuits and two servo-driven gear dosing pumps, flushing, fencing and light curtains. We pre-built the application system in Altstätten to keep the time on site short. Together with the customer we moved the layout by 400 mm to leave room for a second robot.
Built with
- Self-learning Lesta MV A6 painting robot
- Four-arm carousel with turning unit
- 2K supply with four circuits and flushing
- Servo-driven gear dosing pumps
- Light curtains and two-hand confirmation
The result
First day on site on August 10, 2026, programming on September 3 and 4, training from September 8, handover on September 11, 2026. The customer’s goal for later: one person runs two cells.
Why it matters
From the first day on site to production in one month, with 2K and room for the second cell.
