What solutions exist to help manufacturers struggling to keep up with demand due to worker shortages and a lack of automation in their finishing operations?

Our parent organization, DeGeest Corporation, heard this familiar story from Bauer Built Tire & Service. Before working with us, three operators using a manual batch style system were producing between 100–120-wheel rims per day. Despite the team’s best efforts, the quality of the finished product was inconsistent and there was a great deal of waste due to overspray.

With a goal of improving efficiency and quality, Bauer Built worked with DeGeest and LestaUSA to install an automated powder coating system, which included a Lesta Self-Learning Robot and continuous conveyor system that fit within the same footprint as their existing blasters and IR oven.

This boost in productivity allowed them to meet growing market demand while raising the quality and consistency of their finishing due to the precision of their Lesta srl solution.

It’s been over seven years since our parent company, DeGeest Corporation , saw the power of Lesta srl robots firsthand.

Since that time, DeGeest has become the sole distributor, integrator and manufacturer of Lesta robots in the US.

We’re grateful for our partnership with Lesta, and love being able to provide a turn-key solution for customers.

Thanks to The Fabricator for highlighting the impact this technology and robots are having for the finishing industry.
