Passt Coating AG, NunningenContract powder coater

Full capacity within four months

Running since 2022

The task
The company could no longer find powder coaters and was close to shutting down.
Result
After four months the line was running at full capacity again. Since then the company has been our demonstration plant in Switzerland: prospects coat their own parts there before they decide, and the managing director answers their questions himself.
Built with
  • Two self-learning Lesta MV A6 painting robots
  • Rotary encoder on the conveyor’s chain wheel
  • Upgraded control cabinet
  • The customer’s existing powder line

Painted once by the boss, started by anyone on the team

Running since 2023

The task
Plenty of orders, but hardly anyone applying for painting jobs.

BETEC Beschichtungstechnik, near KarlsruhePowder coater

Six weeks later, the second robot was ordered

Running since 2023

The task
No qualified coaters, and an owner who said no twice.
Result

  • The customer’s powder application equipment
  • Hooks and hangers for the conveyor
  • Two manual spray walls for touch-up
