Abstract

See full text

A system and method for applying coatings to an object in a spray booth. The system and method include at least one robot that is operable to spray a coating on the object and at least one robot that includes a non-contact metrology sensor that is capable of measuring the object to determine the exact location of the object and the exact shape of the object. The sensor is also capable of measuring the thickness of the coating as it is sprayed on the object. The system and method further include a computing subsystem that is programmed to receive the measurements from the non-contact metrology sensor, where the measurements are used to determine spray paths and to adjust the spray paths for the at least one robot that is operable to spray the coating such that the object is sprayed with a coating that is within predetermined coating thickness tolerances.
