How Automation is Revolutionizing Wheel Refinishing

Boosting Efficiency and Sustainability Through Automation.

“Maintaining consistent quality, improving efficiency, and reducing operational costs are ongoing challenges in wheel refinishing. Traditional painting methods often rely on full-size spray booths, which are expensive to operate and prone to bottlenecks. Skilled painters – who are already in high demand—must split their time between tasks, leading to inconsistencies, downtime, and increased labor costs. The Automatic Wheel Painting Robot is designed to address these issues directly – not to replace skilled painters, but to assist them. By automating the precise and repetitive aspects of wheel painting, the system ensures high-quality finishes, optimizes workflow, and reduces material waste while making the best use of available resources. This innovative solution has been recognized with the DIRA Technology Award for its contribution to advancing wheel refinishing technology.

One of the biggest inefficiencies in workshops is the overuse of large paint booths for relatively small jobs like wheel refinishing. The Automatic Wheel Painting Robot frees up valuable booth space, ensuring that wheels can be painted efficiently without interrupting other repair work.

This helps workshops handle more jobs without requiring additional space or costly expansions. With pre-programmed paint cycles, automated spray distance control, and adjustable settings, the system delivers factory-quality finishes with minimal manual input. The result? A repeatable, high-end finish on every wheel, regardless of design or complexity.

Sustainability and Cost Savings in One Solution.

The painting process traditionally involves overspray, excessive paint consumption, and high VOC emissions. The Automatic Wheel Painting Robot’s enclosed chamber and optimized spray technology significantly reduce paint waste, ensuring better coverage with less material. This leads to:

• Lower operating costs through reduced paint and energy consumption.
• A cleaner, safer work environment with minimal VOC exposure.
• A more sustainable approach to refinishing that aligns with industry regulations.

By using less energy than traditional spray booths, the system also helps reduce power costs, making it a smart investment for any workshop focused on sustainability and long-term savings.

A Smarter Way to Expand Business.

For workshops looking to increase their service offerings, the Automatic Wheel Painting Robot opens the door to new revenue streams. With automatic drying acceleration, integrated filtration, and a space-saving design, it’s possible to refinish more wheels in less time while maintaining a consistently high standard. This translates into:

• Higher throughput without additional labor costs.
• Shorter turnaround times, boosting customer satisfaction.
• A clear path to increased profitability with rapid ROI.

Technology That Works for You.

Despite its advanced features, the Automatic Wheel Painting Robot is designed for ease of use. The intuitive touchscreen interface allows operators to quickly adjust settings, and the system is compatible with water-based and solvent-based paints for maximum flexibility. Its fully enclosed chamber means no permanent ventilation setup is required, making it an adaptable solution for various workshop layouts.

A Smarter, More Sustainable Future for Wheel Refinishing.

Have you considered how much time and energy your workshop spends on wheel refinishing—or how much potential revenue is lost if you’re not offering it? How many hours are wasted waiting for booth availability or redoing imperfect finishes? What if there was a way to maintain quality, reduce costs, and optimize workflow—all without overburdening your team or expanding your facility?

The Automatic Wheel Painting Robot isn’t just about automation – it’s about working smarter. It frees up resources, maximizes efficiency, and makes sustainability a seamless part of your process. Rather than replacing skilled painters, it allows them to focus on their expertise while the robot handles repetitive, time-consuming tasks with precision and consistency.
