Automotive Paint & Sealer Automation Applications

Today's OEM production painting, coating, and sealing processes require highly sophisticated applications to apply advanced materials within exacting tolerances. Automotive paint shop automation completes painting more accurately and efficiently than with employees alone. JR Automation offers an open application architecture using commercial "off-the-shelf" components for more flexible, cost-effective, customized automotive paint and sealer solutions. We can help your company achieve the quality you expect, while also providing a level of choice and value through our open architecture solutions. It also gives you the ability to leverage and maximize existing technology investments in your facility to eliminate retraining and improve mean time to repair.

JR Automation offers complete support services, starting with a full simulation, engineering, project management, and modular build at our facilities with run-off and customer sign-off. Once bought off, JR Automation can install or provide installation via subcontractors, including debug, launch, and production support. Our team focuses on achieving the highest possible customer satisfaction and results for your business.

Robotic Paint Automation

JR Automation capabilities include upgrading existing paint systems by introducing the latest technology or modifications to the equipment to handle an increased volume through the painting stations. Our products include new efficient atomizers, additional robotic painters, and door and hood openers. JR Automation specializes in reusing, refurbishing, and deploying existing robotic painting assets back into production. We can also perform system upgrades for paint materials such as two-component materials and waterborne paint systems.

A few recent projects include:

Adding priming robots to increase production
Integrating blackout robots for wheel-well application
Fanuc P500 8-Robot primer system asset reclaim/relocate
36 Durr EcoBell 2 clear-coat upgrades
Controls upgrades

Cavity Wax

JR Automation has experience with automated wax applications using global suppliers of waxing application equipment. Together with these partners, JR Automation can provide the proper solution required for your specific waxing applications. Whether you need a flooding system or a spray application, JR Automation can help you achieve maximum corrosion protection with minimal material to reduce the vehicle's overall weight.

Some recent projects include:

Adding robotic wax system to cover vehicle frame interior
Full robotic wax system to cover complete vehicle cavities

Liquid Apply Sound Dampening

JR Automation has provided liquid apply sound dampening (LASD) solutions to multiple manufacturing facilities across North America. The LASD solution involves using high volume, dual-pneumatic dispensers along with a multispray nozzle application gun. Together with our partner companies, JR Automation can provide you with a robust LASD application solution that applies LASD efficiently and safely.

PVC Anti-chip

JR Automation has extensive experience in automation systems that provide PVC anti-chip coatings for underbody and rocker panels. Along with our AutoMask system, we offer a perfect class "A" finish without the need for tape and paper masking.

The JR Automation AutoMask tooling is a unique robotic rotary masking tool that reliably delivers a perfect spray line. It uses a hardened aluminum disc with unique geometric qualities that minimize deflection and has a consistent film build to the edge of the pattern. The result is a reliable, fine edge without the use of physical masking.

Seam Sealer

JR Automation provides all types of robotic seam-sealing systems. We have the capability and resources to offer a complete turnkey automated sealant application that can meet your specifications. These systems can consist of multiple robots, vision offset, dispensing equipment, temperature control, bulk material supply systems, and more. Depending on your sealing needs, there are many types of sealer processes, equipment suppliers, systems, and integrations that we can use. JR Automation can use our proprietary dispense equipment and software or use equipment and software from all other major global sealer partner suppliers.

Exterior Seam Sealer

JR Automation has extensive experience with providing both cosmetic and non-cosmetic exterior seam-sealer systems. Cosmetic seam sealing, as used in roof ditch sealing, requires a strong focus on the seam bead quality and location while being applied. JR Automation uses an automotive roof seam sealer with a body offset vision system along with the robot-mounted vision system to apply the bead of sealant perfectly. The seam will be exposed on a class "A" surface after the system applies the primer and paint. We also offer additional process capabilities that will allow different seam beads with dual applicators.

At JR Automation, we combine our expert technology with our sealer dispense and application experience to meet the highest level of standards and requirements necessary for exterior seam sealing.

Interior Seam Sealer

JR Automation has installed interior sealer systems for many automotive OEMs. The interior sealer process can require multiple beads, sizes, and dimensions for the same body interior. It can also use simple pumping solutions as well as complex dual servo constant-flow systems. Depending on the nature of your sealing requirements, JR Automation can provide a proper cost-effective solution.

Hem Sealer

JR Automation can provide both contact and non-contact versions of hem-sealing equipment and systems. These systems use similar components as interior seam sealing but require special vision equipment due to the high-accuracy nature of the bead.
