Designing a Mechanism to Paint a Conical Shaped Part

Abstract

Many manufacturers desire for automating their painting processes for improvement in quality, reduction in the time, reduction in coating, and reduction in labor content. Automation into paint systems is a sustainable solution to overcome the above mentioned drawback but initial cost of automation is quite higher for small scale industry. Therefore this paper presents design of a mechanisms made by raw material available into the industry for conical part painting. The mechanism will function via motor for rotation, fixture for mounting of work piece and cam follower principle etc. The simple controls for the painting were provided with ON/OFF knob. Proposed mechanism contains of numerous mechanical parts which assembled together for carrying out a specific task. Mainly the synchronized movement between the rotating motor with work piece and spraying spray from automatic spray gun is the key factor for this assembly model. Through the present mechanization speed of the motor as well as paint flow can be controlled which results in enhanced finishing and reduction in processing time.
