Robotic application and unique wood bell system for doors and windows FAQ

Let's get in touch

  • Why switch to a robotic application rather than remaining in manual or reciprocator mode?

    Robotization brings:
    - Repeatability and homogeneity: Each part receives the same quality of finish, without human variability
    - Reduced scrap: Less overcharging, less rework
    - Flexibility: Programming possible for several ranges (doors, windows, jambs, openings)
    - Safety & ergonomics: Reduction of risks related to manual workstations (VOCs, fatigue, MSDs)

  • What specific advantages does the rotary bell offer compared to conventional guns?

    The rotating bell Viscobell® is designed for hydro and high viscosity paints:
    - High transfer: Up to 90% → less paint loss
    - Better coverage of complex profiles (mullions, grooves, rebates)
    - Thin, even application: Even coat, premium quality
    - Reduced paint consumption: Direct savings (up to 30% off)

    Let's get in touch

  • What is the expected return on investment (ROI)?

    Typical ROI in 12 to 24 months thanks to:
    - Savings in paint and solvents
    - Reduction of rework time
    - Fewer scrap parts
    - Improved productivity and machine utilization rate

  • Is it suitable for modern paints (hydro, UV, high viscosities)?

    Yes, the Viscobell® rotary bell is designed for:
    - Water-based paints → better atomization, regular deposit
    - High viscosity paints → stability and controlled flow
    - New technologies (UV, high-demand varnish) → high-end finish without orange peel skin

  • How to manage production flexibility (part sizes, short runs)?

    Robotization is adapted by programming:
    - Program library according to product dimensions and types
    - Recognition via conveyor + vision possible
    - Reduced changeover time → increased responsiveness

  • What about maintenance and reliability?

    The rotary bell and the robot are designed for intensive use:
    - Simple preventive maintenance (cleaning, turbine change)
    - Optimized component life
    - Technical support & training available for teams

  • Is it a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution?

    Yes, it allows:
    - Reduction of VOCs (less solvents needed)
    - Less paint waste (high transfer efficiency)
    - Energy optimization (fewer rework, fewer cycles)

  • What impact on the productivity and competitiveness of the plant?

    Investing in this technology means:
    - Increase throughput with consistent quality
    - Reduce costs per part (labor + material)
    - Strengthen competitiveness against competitors who are already automating
    - Enhance the industrial image with customers (innovation, sustainability)
