Discover how Lesta automates the coating of large industrial components with customised robotic solutions designed to overcome complex production challenges.
Automating the coating of large industrial components
is becoming increasingly important for managing complex processes involving oversized parts and large-scale production. Coating large components requires advanced technologies capable of ensuring uniformity, precision, and repeatability, even on extensive surfaces and complex geometries.
Lesta develops painting plants specifically designed for large components and bulky objects, including systems for spraying fiberglass and gelcoat. The company’s extensive expertise in design and manufacturing allows it to oversee every project through all its stages, ensuring highly customised solutions.
Coating large components: what are the limitations?
One of the key questions when discussing industrial automation applied to coating, is the size of the workpieces that can be handled. Lesta painting plants can be designed to reach heights of up to 3.5 meters, while there are no defined structural limits regarding length and width. This approach allows each system to be tailored to the client’s specific production requirements, even when dealing with oversized components.
Applications: from shipyards to heavy metal fabrication
Painting plants for large components are used across numerous industrial sectors. Typical applications include boats and yachts manufacturing, as well as the manufacturing of earth-moving machinery, trailers, semi-trailers, and large metal structures.
Their versatility makes them ideal for coating fiberglass components, such as hulls or horse shelters, as well as heavy metalwork and oversized structures. In all these applications, automation enables the handling of large, complex surfaces with high precision.
Technology and automation driving productivity
What truly sets these systems apart is their level of automation and their ability to adapt to different production environments. Lesta designs advanced solutions such as overhead cranes
that span entire industrial facilities and feature multiple axes of movement. Suspended and free to move around the workpiece, the robots can record and precisely replicate their movements, ensuring consistent results over time.
This approach not only improves coating quality but also optimises time and reduces waste.
What is the value of a custom-engineered painting plant?
Every Lesta painting plant is engineered to meet specific production requirements, combining precision and efficiency. When it comes to large workpieces, there is no standard solution. Each system is tailored to the product’s characteristics and the customer’s production process.
By combining engineering expertise with a tailored approach, Lesta can address even the most demanding applications, turning production challenges into opportunities for growth.
Automated coating technologies for large industrial workpieces have become a strategic asset for improving efficiency, ensuring consistent quality, and strengthening competitiveness.
