Abstract

Describes some of the new products at the Surface World exhibition held at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. Three of the mainstream robot vendors supplying painting systems were at the show and each launched a new product. They also displayed a trend to the growth in the coating of plastic components. Another strong showing was for powder coating, and some of the leading specialist suppliers of equipment for this process were present. At present this type of coating is not generally economic for robot use.
