Quality gate

The line receives freshly painted panels from the lacquering machine which, by means of a belt-roller conveyor, go to the quality control (operated by 2 operators) where they are classified as compliant or to be corrected. Compliant panels go to vaccum gripper manipulator where they are stacked – noncompliant panels are segregated and picked up by operators. In case of line failure, the first manipulator puts the panels on an additional conveyor from where the operator can pick them up with a forklift – this is because the paint shop cannot be stopped with the panels inside.
