This article explores integrating assembly and painting in a single robot or workstation.
Model 1: Same Robot, Different Tools
The robot switches between gripper and spray gun via a tool changer.
Model 2: Dual-Robot Collaboration
One robot for assembly/loading, one for painting.
Advantages and Challenges
The article analyzes the advantages (reduced handling, unified data) and challenges (cycle balancing, contamination prevention, tool calibration), using "automotive door panel interior part assembly and painting" as a case study.
