Home › Reciprocating Spray Painting Machine
A reciprocating spray painting machine mounts the reciprocating gun over a conveyor, coating flat parts continuously as they pass. It is the standard spraying station inside automatic lines and a simple upgrade from manual booth spraying.
Parts enter on the conveyor, a sensor reads their position, and the gun carriage strokes across them at a speed matched to the belt. The same station repeats inside full lines before flash-off and drying sections. Gun height and stroke width adjust to the part family; recipes are stored per product.
| Line element | Reciprocator requirement |
|---|---|
| Conveyor | Steady speed, parts presented flat |
| Booth | Overspray capture matched to gun output |
| Controls | Part sensing and per-product recipes |
Flat panels, doors laid flat, boards and sheet parts are ideal. Parts that must be coated on several faces in one pass need an axis machine or a robot cell instead, or a second pass with turnover.
This equipment is supplied with a 12-month warranty. Spare wear parts (guns, nozzles, filters, belts) are listed in the quotation so you can stock them at commissioning.
Axis spray machines serve production where the same part repeats thousands of times: consumer electronics housings, helmets and protective gear, sanitary ware, toys and moulded plastic or metal components. The economic logic is repeatability — once the gun path, distance and speed are set for a part, every cycle repeats them, so film thickness stays even and paint consumption per part can be measured and tuned.
Two operating habits decide results more than the machine class does. First, fixture design: a part that sits 2 mm differently each cycle sprays differently each cycle. Second, gun maintenance: a worn nozzle changes the fan pattern long before it fails outright, so nozzle checks belong in the weekly routine. Both points are covered when a configuration is commissioned.
An axis machine is one station in a process. Upstream, parts usually need cleaning or electrostatic dust removal, especially moulded plastics that carry static. Downstream, the coating decides the next step: air-dry paints need flash-off space, baked enamels need an oven, UV coatings need a curing section. When you request a quote, name the equipment you already own for these stages; the machine will be specified to feed it, including conveyor height and part hand-off.
The gun stroke is matched to your belt speed during configuration. Send your current or planned line speed and part spacing.
Send your part drawings, part size and output target. We will confirm the machine or line configuration and reply with a quotation.
