Robotic Tire Painter System

The Brenton Robotic Tire Painter System coats 12,000 tires per day with a flawless and aesthetic appeal as the robot paints only the decorative area of the tire. Continuous cell throughput is achieved by calculating the spray gun path on one side as the robot paints on the other lane.

A camera above the painting station allows the vision system to locate the tire center and any decorative whitewalls or lettering.

An ultrasonic sensor determines tire height for automatic spraying distance adjustments.

The robot controller calculates the path through which the robot will guide the spray gun by determining factors such as:

• Number of passes required
• Sectors containing lettering
• Paint pressure
• Air pressure
• Spray gun to tire distance
