Transforming Automotive Coatings
Labman create automotive coatings systems using cutting-edge automation technology, ensuring unparalleled precision, consistency, and efficiency in your production processes.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of automotive coatings to your laboratoryEnhanced QCTransform your QC operations for Automotive coatings formulation with robotic technologies. Ensure that every batch of coating is formulated to exact specifications, meeting stringent standards for performance and durability. We can automate visual inspections, weathering testing, thickness measurements, surface roughness testing, and more, to guarantee impeccable product quality. In-line monitoring and real-time adjustments mean that issues are detected and resolved promptly, reducing downtime and waste.
Formulation, testing and analysisAutomate formulation and testing processes with Labman. Discover automated mixing and dispensing systems, which handle raw material and ensure accurate measurements of solvents, pigments and binders.
These systems ensure precise measurements and consistent mixing, reducing variability in the final product.
With automated systems, manufacturers can quickly test and develop new formulations tailored to specific requirements such as the formulation of UV coatings, E-coatings or coatings with specific protection from the environment, scratches, corrosion, UV rays, and more.
Increased efficiencyAutomating your automotive coatings workflow significantly increases efficiency by streamlining the entire process, from ingredient mixing to quality control. Automated systems can operate continuously, maximising throughput and reducing the reliance on manual labour. By enhancing precision, speed and consistency, automating your coatings processes enables manufacturers to achieve higher throughput and productivity, helping to maintain a competitive edge in the automotive industry.
