SHOWCASE:Robotic Painting Spray Painting Robots Robots for a variety of coating applications are featured on the following pages . Four Robots in One The New Technol- ogy Hydraulic (NTH) finishing system has 360.deg capability with six degrees of arm freedom for a work envelope that allows one robot to do the work of four. The work envelope features a complete overlapping torus with a majar diam- eter of 206 ft. The system covers a 32-ft radius, and the trans- porter has vertical motion to 6.5 ft. Payload is 10 Ibs at ful1 speed, ful1 accel- eration and ful1 accu- racy. Main-axis speed is 90 deg per sec and main-axis acceleration is 150 to 220 The NTH robot has a remote station for deg per sec. programming without downtime. S~UJ-ce: Kremlin, Inc., Addison, Illinois.
