What NAPaint does . . .

  • Make robotic and automated liquid paint, powder, and sealer finishing systems capable of consistent, flexible, and efficient operation to support increased production.  

  • Develop and launch highly productive and cost-effective process automation for your products seamlessly into your existing or new production stream.

Why Performance Matters

 

Since 2008, our customers have created thousands of jobs through improved paint finishing operations, opened new facilities, expanded existing ones, and brought millions in production back to the USA.  Improved paint finishing operations with NAPaint have added greater than 1 billion US dollars net worth to their businesses.

  • The average NAPaint project ROI is less than 5 months.

  • Annual benefit can exceed tens of millions.

Turn-Key Services For

 

  • Servicing and Optimizing ABB and FANUC AdPro, Prime, Base, Clear, Sealer, and Anti-Chip paint and powder application equipment.  Any issue.  We simply make it run faster and better.  Since 2008, NAPaint has achieved 100% of our performance improvement estimates.

  • Complete Systems Integration for robots, PLCs, tip cleaners, all paint application equipment and paint supply systems, door openers, feather dusters, conveyors, vision systems, washers, ovens, air houses, temperature and humidity control, air balance, sludge systems, operator stations, touchscreens, displays, PCs, and command and control centers.

  • Offline Virtual Program Development and simulation including part rack and end of arm tooling design, robot programming, and cycle time and feasibility studies.  We create a virtual paint booth in which paint robot programs can be fully developed or modified, and loaded directly into existing robots for immediate production use.

  • Production Launch for any system or process.

  • Continuous Quality Improvements of existing production systems, processes, and applications for final finish appearance or performance.

  • Continuous System Improvements to reduce downtime, scrap, waste, equipment idleness, and spare part consumption.

  • Continuous Operational Improvements to simplify or improve operator control of production or maintenance operations.

  • Short or Long Term paint process or automation support or staffing.

  • Web Based and smart phone supervisory control, data acquisition, real time systems monitoring, and database applications.

  • Total Paint Defect Analysis resolution, often on the spot.

  • Comprehensive Paint Audits that identify root cause, improvement paths, and accurately estimate cost and benefit.

  • Operational Training so you can maintain your operational efficiency.

Quality finishing with high throughput and yields can often be significantly

more profitable than lower throughput with higher paint transfer efficiency.

  

 

 

“ Very Successful ”  - Quality Team Manager, Honda Mfg. of Indiana

 

Improving Margins.  Creating Capacity.  Opening Markets.

  

Our core business is improving complex, high volume production paint line productivity.  This is achieved by improving equipment performance and process efficiency, increasing line yields,  throughput, system reliability, thru greater equipment utilization and flexibility, and efficient integration.   But we don't just create productivity.  We create capacity and reduce operational cost and achieve quality finishing that increases competitiveness and profitability, and opens new markets that fill your new capacity with new business.

NAPaint provides significant value in many ways.  A new client was launching a new product much larger in scale than their current product lines.  They paid the robot manufacturer a princely sum to do a feasibility study to determine if the existing equipment was capable.  After a month, the robot manufacturer reported the existing system was in fact not capable and recommended new, larger robots be installed, several on rails.  Our client asked NAPaint for a second opinion, and surprise, surprise, the new product was launched into full scale production in a couple days with zero interruption using only existing equipment achieving a nicer, more uniform finish than existing production, and saving an estimated 10 million in capital expenditure.

Welcome to NA Paint.  We make paint automation pay.

 

Frequently, a small investment, not a capital investment, to apply efficient application processes and conditioning to existing equipment can have an enormously profitable impact on the business literally overnight.  We specialize in the optimization of electrostatic and conventional industrial paint finishing systems and robot paint automation.  Our core service revolves around improving paint shop productivity and efficiency.  We design and specify the most efficient paint application systems available, large or small, with regard to purchase and installation cost and operational efficiency.  We excel at applying the most efficient technologies and methods to existing systems to significantly increase throughput, reduce costs, and improve quality.  We provide seamless, reliable systems integration.  Part rack designs and  paint robot programs are designed and quickly developed that take your productivity to new levels.  Our broad expertise in engineering, systems integration, troubleshooting, maintenance, service and repair of robotic paint systems is the best available. We are experts in electrostatic paint application system fire prevention.

 

We take the load off you, and uncertainty out of the process.

 

If done well and done right, the benefits of paint operational efficiency can be immediate and large.  Efficient part rack design and robot programming increase throughput, quality, yields, and uptime.  Less touch-up, repair, and finesse labor is required.  Paint usage and overspray are significantly reduced, lowering paint cost, material handling, waste generation and disposal, and VOC and HAP emissions.  Less repair eliminates double processing and achieves greater system utilization.  Booth maintenance from paint build-up is greatly reduced, as are equipment cover and filter changes.  Greater transfer efficiency reduces cycle times or allows more surface area to be coated within a cycle.

 

NA Paint services cover the greater field of paint application including servicing, troubleshooting, specifying, upgrade, design, engineering, controls, integration, supply, and support of all equipment and processes, existing and new.  Our support of ABB, Fanuc, Kawasaki, and Motoman robots with ITW Ransburg, Sames, or EFC application equipment is the best available.  We offer a paint system audit for a comprehensive assessment of paint system operational efficiency.  Our approach to paint defect analysis is turn-key; not only do we identify the source of paint spits, dirt, craters and fish-eyes, we eliminate them.  From reducing paint waste and minimizing painted scrap, to reducing paint overspray contamination, from inefficient manual or automatic color changes and costly system faults, to inconsistent fluid delivery, unreliable and inefficient process control, flooding turbines, robot crashes, or paint system upgrades, we support continuous improvement that will make your paint application system more efficient than the day it was installed, and often dramatically more so.
