Coatings and application technologies for robotics refer to specialized surface treatments and the methods used to apply them that enhance the performance, durability, and functionality of robotic components. These coatings protect against wear, corrosion, chemicals, heat, and friction, while also improving properties such as conductivity, reflectivity, or biocompatibility. Application technologies include advanced methods such as thermal spraying, physical and chemical vapor deposition (PVD/CVD), plasma coating, and automated painting systems, which ensure precision and consistency tailored to the specific needs of robotic systems.
The main types of coatings and application technologies for robotics include powder, ultraviolet cure, waterborne, and solvent borne coatings. Powder coating is a dry, eco-friendly finish that enhances the durability and lifespan of robotic systems through heat-cured, electrostatically applied protection. Various resin types, such as acrylics, polyurethanes, polyester, epoxy, or alkyd, are used with different coating layers, including primer, top coat, base coat, and clear coat. These coatings are utilized by multiple end-user industries such as healthcare, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, construction, and others.
