Automating pre- and post-retouching in reciprocator painting with Lesta LEBOT MV A6

Date: 11/02/2026

Lesta’s LEBOT MV A6 is the ideal choice for companies looking to innovate their painting lines.

Automating pre- and post-retouching in reciprocator-based painting systems is now a strategic choice. Thanks to its self-learning capability, the Lesta LEBOT MV A6 robot automates these critical phases, improving quality, repeatability, and production efficiency.

In industrial painting lines, pre-retouching and post-retouching are often performed manually by operators. Installing the LEBOT MV A6 before, after, or at both reciprocator stations allows these tasks to be fully automated, reducing the number of operators required and enabling their relocation to other areas of the company.

How the LEBOT MV A6 works in reciprocator systems

The robot initially records the operator’s painting of critical areas. Once this learning phase is completed, the painting process is performed automatically, with high precision and repeatability.

This automation brings several advantages to companies:

  • Maximum quality of the finished product: every piece receives the same level of attention and finishing.
  • Reduced paint consumption: the robot applies only the necessary amount, avoiding waste.
  • Increased production efficiency: operators are freed from repetitive tasks and can be reassigned to other activities.
  • Standardized results: the process becomes predictable and stable.

Recommended installations

For systems equipped with reciprocators, the optimal configuration includes:

  1. Pre-retouching: the robot performs painting operations before the part reaches the reciprocator, correcting initial imperfections.
  2. Post-retouching: the robot operates immediately after the reciprocator, ensuring uniform finishes.
  3. Dual workstation: in some production lines, two robots can work in tandem, covering both pre- and post-retouching for complete automation.

Who Uses the LEBOT MV A6

The LEBOT MV A6 is ideal for companies manufacturing metal products such as:

  • Air conditioning units
  • Metal cabinets and enclosures
  • Various industrial components

In these sectors, the robot helps reduce human error and improve overall paint line productivity.

Why choose the LEBOT MV A6 to automate pre- and post-retouching

Integrating the Lesta LEBOT MV A6 robot into reciprocator-equipped systems means taking a decisive step towards a more stable, predictable, and cost-effective production process. Its self-learning capability and high precision ensure uniform paint finishes while reducing material consumption and human intervention.
