This article fills in the blanks and explains spray painting robot teaching methods. The answers are multiple:
- Online Teach-Pendant: Operator manually guides the robot gun, recording points. Traditional, for simple tasks, uses production time, accuracy depends on skill.
- Offline Programming (OLP): Uses simulation software (RobotStudio, RoboDK) for path planning on a PC, then downloads. Current mainstream, especially for complex surfaces, high volume. Optimizes path, cycle, enables digital twin.
- Emerging: AI & Vision-Guided: Laser/3D scans workpiece for auto-path generation; or deep learning to imitate expert movements. Represents the future, lowering programming barriers.
The article compares pros/cons, applications, and trends.
