Make
robotic and automated liquid paint, powder, and sealer
finishing systems capable of consistent, flexible, and
efficient operation to support increased production.
Develop
and launch highly productive and cost-effective process
automation for your products seamlessly into your existing or
new production stream.
Why
Performance Matters
Since 2008, our customers have created thousands of new jobs through improved paint finishing, opened new facilities, expanded existing ones, and brought billions in production back to the USA. Improved paint finishing operations have added many billions of value to their businesses. Many NAPaint projects have 1 or 2 month ROI.
The
average NAPaint project ROI is less than 5 months.
Servicing
and Optimizing
ABB and FANUC AdPro, Prime, Base, Clear, Sealer, and Anti-Chip
paint and powder application equipment. Any issue.
We simply make it run faster and better. Since 2008,
NAPaint has achieved 100% of our performance improvement
estimates.
Complete
Systems Integration
for robots, PLCs, tip cleaners, all paint application equipment and
paint supply systems, door openers, feather dusters,
conveyors, vision systems, washers, ovens, air houses, temperature
and humidity control, air balance, sludge systems, operator
stations, touchscreens, displays, PCs, and command and control
centers.
Offline
Virtual Program Development and
simulation including part rack and end of arm tooling design,
robot programming, and cycle time and feasibility studies.
We create a virtual paint booth in which paint robot programs
can be fully developed or modified, and loaded directly into
existing robots for immediate production use.

that identify root cause, improvement paths, and accurately
estimate cost and benefit.
Operational
Training
so you can maintain your operational efficiency.
Increasing
paint automation productivity - drastically improving line
yield.
Our
core business is improving complex, high volume production paint
line productivity. This is achieved by improving equipment
performance and process efficiency, increasing line
yields, throughput, system reliability, thru greater equipment
utilization and flexibility, and efficient integration.
But we don't just create productivity. We create capacity and reduce operational
cost and achieve quality finishing that increases competitiveness
and profitability, and opens
new markets that fill your new capacity with new business.
NAPaint
provides significant value in many ways. A new
client was launching a new product much larger in scale
than their current product lines. They paid the robot
manufacturer a princely sum to do a feasibility study to
determine if the existing equipment was capable.
After a month, the robot manufacturer reported the
existing system was in fact not capable and recommended
new, larger robots be installed, several on rails.
Our client asked NAPaint for a second opinion, and
surprise, surprise, the new product was launched into full
scale production in a couple days with zero interruption
using only existing equipment achieving a nicer, more
uniform finish than existing production, and saving an
estimated 10 million in capital expenditure.
Welcome
to NA Paint. We make paint automation pay.
Frequently, a small investment, not a capital
investment, to apply efficient application processes and
conditioning to existing equipment can have an enormously profitable
impact on the business literally overnight. We specialize in the optimization of electrostatic and conventional industrial paint finishing systems
and robot paint automation. Our core service revolves around improving paint shop
productivity and efficiency.
We design
and specify the most efficient paint
application systems available,
large or small, with regard to purchase and installation cost and operational
efficiency. We excel
at applying the most efficient technologies and methods to existing
systems to significantly increase
throughput,
reduce costs, and improve quality. We provide seamless,
reliable systems integration. Part rack designs and paint
robot programs
are designed and quickly developed that take
your productivity to new levels. Our broad expertise in
engineering, systems integration, troubleshooting,
maintenance,
service
and repair of robotic paint systems
is the best available. We are experts in electrostatic paint application system fire prevention.
We
take the load off you, and uncertainty out of the process.
If
done well and done right, the benefits of paint operational
efficiency can be immediate and large. Efficient part rack
design and robot programming increase throughput, quality, yields,
and uptime. Less touch-up, repair, and finesse labor is
required. Paint usage and overspray are significantly
reduced, lowering paint cost, material handling, waste generation
and disposal, and VOC and HAP emissions. Less repair eliminates
double processing and achieves greater system utilization.
Booth maintenance from paint build-up is greatly reduced, as are
equipment cover and filter changes. Greater transfer
efficiency reduces cycle times or allows more surface area to be
coated within a cycle.
NA
Paint services cover the greater field of paint application
including servicing, troubleshooting, specifying, upgrade, design,
engineering, controls, integration, supply, and support of all
equipment and processes, existing and new. Our support of ABB,
Fanuc, Kawasaki, and Motoman robots with ITW Ransburg, Sames, or
EFC application equipment is the best available. We offer a paint
system audit
for a comprehensive assessment of paint system operational
efficiency. Our approach to paint
defect analysis
is turn-key; not only do we identify the source of paint spits,
dirt, craters and fish-eyes, we eliminate them. From reducing paint waste and minimizing
painted scrap, to reducing paint
overspray
contamination, from inefficient manual or automatic
color changes
and costly system faults, to inconsistent fluid delivery,
unreliable and inefficient process control, flooding turbines,
robot crashes, or paint system
upgrades, we support continuous improvement that will make your
paint application system more efficient than the day it was
installed, and often dramatically more so.
