HVLP painting equipment and robots

[Kirsten Koepsel <kkoepsel@arrirs04.uta.edu>]

Greetings all,

On July 1, I will be visiting one of our local manufacturers who make 
metal based furniture. Since their operation involves painting, I was 
interested in the use of HVLP equipment for their operation. 

I know that they currently use robots to paint with humans doing the 
touch-up work. Enamel is their paint of choice. They do send the 
parts through an oven after painting.

Question-is it possible to use HVLP equipment with robots and enamel 
paint?  

In the telephone call, I suggested this option as a possibility for 
them to decrease the amount of paint they are using which caught 
their eye.

Thanks.
