literature survey about automatic wall painting machine
Abstract
The primary aim of the project is to design, develop and implement Automatic Wall Painting Robot which helps to achieve low cost painting equipment. Despite the advances in robotics and its wide spreading applications, interior wall painting has shared little in research activities. The painting chemicals can cause hazards to the human painters such as eye and respiratory system problems. Also the nature of painting procedure that requires repeated work and hand rising makes it boring, time and effort consuming. When construction workers and robots are properly integrated in building tasks, the whole construction process can be better managed and savings in human labour and timing are obtained as a consequence. In addition, it would offer the opportunity to reduce or eliminate human exposure to difficult and hazardous environments, which would solve most of the problems connected with safety when many activities occur at the same time. These factors motivate the development of an automated robotic painting system.
Introduction
one of the industries which requires a large manpower today is the construction industry. There is a huge demand for skilled labor in works like flooring, painting, carpentry, interior designing, etc., and also the resources are not effectively used. Here specifically we emphasize on painting because it involves a lot of risk as painters have to hang down from large sized walls to paint the entire wall. Also when the scaffoldings are constructed for the painters, it may seem safe for the painters but the amount of time and money spent on scaffoldings will also be taken into account. Also implication of multi layered painting for the exterior walls of special buildings such as Industrial kilns and nuclear reactor cooling towers also requires lot of skilled man power as maintaining thickness of each coating layer is difficult. Through our complete analysis on this field we came to know that a machine which would solve the above stated problem is highly required for construction companies .Our project focuses on the implementation of automation in this field by introducing, Automatic Exterior wall painting machine . This wall painting machine is suspended from the terrace of the building with the help of a sprocket-chain arrangement, which can be actuated by a motor to handle the up down motions and also the whole arrangement is actuated horizontally using another motor. So the machine moves in a specific sequence such that the machine paints the wall completely in an autonomous manner ensuring the uniform coating and safety of the labors.
