Rapid commissioning of automotive painting line by simulation software
[Introduction]The commissioning of automotive painting process involves many aspects,such as process,equipment,and paints.The traditional spraying trajectory teaching method is low in efficiency and high in cost.[Method]The planning,calibration,and optimization of spraying trajectory were carried out by using offline simulation software.The determination of spray fan and the commissioning of coating thickness uniformity and spraying processes for inner and outer plates were described with some cases.[Result]The rapid matching and simulation of spraying trajectory and process parameters by using offline simulation software can save man-hours required for actual vehicle teaching,and improve the commissioning efficiency,facilitating the quick introduction of a new vehicle.[Conclusion]This paper summarizes a set of rapid commissioning methods for automotive painting,including trajectory design and editing,trajectory calibration and operation,and process commissioning,and described the standardized solution to the problems of inner plate spraying process and the experiences of color commissioning.It provides references for those engaged in spraying process commissioning to improve the efficiency of solving defects.
