Robotic Spray Applications for OEM products is another innovative solution PRE-TEC offers. Automating the spray application of POLYQuik Polyurea products is a perfect solution to shorten the production time required to spray parts and improve quality.
VIEW VIDEOROBOTIC WRAP APPLICATOR
Our Robotic Wrap Applicator was designed for I-Joist Beams or Stacked Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), in order to increase the product output and free up manpower for more value added activities. One version of the system applies protective wrapping and end sealant to I-Joist Beams or Stacked LVL, while another is available for use in lumber mills and OSB operations.
In either case, the wrap required in length, width, and height is calculated on the fly by measuring the load dimensions.
