BRIEF HISTORY

Spray painting is the process of changing a liquid substance in most cases, paint, into an aerosol state in order to apply it on a surface using spray-painting equipment. The spray painting history started in 1887 when Joseph Binks improvised a hand-operated pump to speed up the painting process. Interestingly, the spray paint invention revolutionised the painting process because Binks invented a spraying machine, which was a hand-operated device used by the crew who worked under him. The crew made significant progress within a short period because they managed to paint the premises within a short period. In his invention, Binks used the pump to hold the liquid paint under high pressure. Subsequently, a spray nozzle releasedthe …show more content…

Thereafter, his son developed a similar device, which he used in the furniture industry. The spray gun contained various sophisticated features that enabled easy application of the liquid content in the container. The container held in compressed air that released the atomized material onto the furniture surface through a submerged tube. This invention had a similar outcome of significantly reducing the time taken to work on a surface. At this particular time, manufacturing processes used water as coolants, and this led to the development of the nozzle technology.
The efficiency of the spray guns made the spray-painting popular, and the finishing industry embraced the new technology. Further, the quality of paint made it impossible to use a brush because it was lighter. The industry required more sophisticated spray gun technology and, as a result, there was the introduction of exhaust canopies, which is the modern day spray booth. The manufacturing greatly benefited from the development of exhaust canopies such that the companies built canopies in their facilities to improve production. In particular, the automotivemanufacturer was the greatest beneficiary of this …show more content…

Despite the advances in robotics and its wide spreading applications, interior wall painting has shared little in research activities.

The painting chemicals can cause hazards to the human painters such as eye and respiratory system 1problems. Also the nature of painting procedure that requires repeated work and hand rising makes it boring, time and effort consuming.

It would offer the opportunity to reduce or eliminate human exposure to difficult and hazardous environments, which would solve most of the problems connected with safety when many activities occur at the same time. These factors motivate the development of an automated robotic painting system.

Automation of building process is the right mean to improve the average productivity of the construction industry, moreover in case of big and very complex project. In addition the manufacturing of uniform high quality product can be pursued.

An accurate and efficient automated methodology to reproduce the coloured drawings from there graphic digital format to their final application on building walls is presented.
