Home › Three-Axis Spray Painting Machine
A three-axis spray painting machine moves the gun in X, Y and Z over simple three-dimensional parts such as phone hardware, small housings and craft parts. It is the step between a flat-part single-axis machine and a full five-axis cell.
Three-axis movement covers parts whose faces sit at modest angles: the gun stays vertical while it travels the part's length, height and depth. Parts with deep undercuts or faces pointing in many directions belong on five-axis or six-axis machines instead. The standard build for this family is a compact machine of L1000 x W450 x H814 mm for the standard configuration; larger working envelopes are configured on request.

If every surface you coat can be reached by a vertical gun, three axes are enough and the machine stays simple to program and maintain. The moment a face tilts beyond a modest angle, coating weight on that face falls off; that is the signal to price a five-axis machine instead. Send a drawing with the steepest face marked and we will make the call with you.
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.
Yes, programs are stored per part. Fixture change is the limiting step, so tell us your changeover frequency.
