Painting is a process of applying paint on surface of any object. But painting is time and effort consuming process. It is also hazardous and exhausting technique which makes it an excellent case for automation. Ultraviolet curing known as UV curing is a photochemical process with high-intensity ultraviolet light is used to instantly cure or dry inks, adhesives or coatings. There is a strong need for automation in painting and curing of paint for manufacturing industries as it reduces the human effort, maintains consistency and helps in obtaining perfection. In this project, the design of an automated painting and Uv curing system is described. The design objective is to fulfill the foundation of simplicity, easy handling, low cost, reducing human effort and consistent painting. This project involves painting and UV curing of a raw MDF panel which moves on a conveyor for painting and curing purposes. The system includes IR sensors, dc motor, a spray gun and a UV lamp controlled by arduino microcontroller.
