Robots Take Over Paint Application in Furniture Manufacturing

The furniture sector, which is progressing rapidly towards its export target of 12 billion dollars by 2028, received support from FANUC on this journey. FANUC, which streamlines painting processes in the furniture sector with its long-reach robot range, ensures precise coating in production with its specialized PointTool software, while simultaneously guaranteeing maximum paint quality.

The furniture sector, taking rapid strides towards its 12 billion dollar export target for 2028, requires proper coating processes as one of the most critical factors in ensuring production quality and aesthetics. In line with market demands to further increase production and quality, the importance of robots is growing steadily. Japan-based CNC, robot and machine manufacturer FANUC, with its unrivaled technology robots, paints every type of furniture surface down to the finest detail, offering manufacturers superior precision, speed and efficiency. Thanks to FANUC's advanced technology, six different robot models that bring furniture to life and provide perfect adaptation to desired color tones make painting practical through their extended reach.

Painting every corner of furniture uniformly

FANUC Turkey General Manager Teoman Alper Yiğit, stating that furniture painting is an important stage in the production process and that the coating robots they developed are designed to perfect this stage, said: "Our advanced technology robots deliver fast and consistent performance while painting every surface in the desired tone. This high-precision system minimizes painting errors while saving both time and costs. Thanks to the superior capability of the robots, every corner of furniture is painted uniformly while application time is reduced, which brings operational efficiency. With our wide range of painting robots with different reach and load capacities, we help manufacturers choose the most suitable robot for their needs and easily integrate it into their production lines. Different models adapt to all types of furniture and painting requirements. This way, perfect results can be achieved in every process, from precision painting for small parts to coating large furniture. Our painting robots take quality in furniture manufacturing to the next level while enabling savings in time and costs."

Maximum precision control and paint quality with PointTool software

Emphasizing that the features of the robot to be used in furniture painting processes directly affect paint quality and efficiency, Yiğit continued: "The painting robots we developed provide durability thanks to their cost-effective aluminum structure while reducing operational costs. The flexible mounting position of the robots offers various placement options that can be customized according to the facility's needs. This provides maximum flexibility in the production line while robots can easily perform any type of furniture painting task with optimal working ranges. Additionally, the wiring system integrated into the wrist of our painting robots eliminates cable clutter, creating a more organized working environment. Explosion protection and ATEX compliance enable the highest level of protection in terms of safety. These features make the robots safe to use even in hazardous working conditions. Furthermore, our existing specialized PointTool software ensures precise control of our robots while guaranteeing maximum paint quality."
