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
Building and construction is one of the major industries around the world. In this
fast moving life construction industry is also growing rapidly. But the labors in the
construction industry are not sufficient. This insufficient labors in the construction
industry is because of the difficulty in the work. In construction industry, during
the work in tall buildings or in the sites where there is more risky situation like
interior area in the city. There are some other reasons for the insufficient labor
which may be because of the improvement the education level which cause the
people to think that these types of work is not as prestigious as the other jobs.
The construction industry is labor-intensive and conducted in dangerous situations;
therefore the importance of
construction robotics has been realized and is grown rapidly. Applications and
activities of robotics and automation in this construction industry started in the
early 90‟s aiming to optimize equipment operations, improve safety, enhance
perception of workspace and furthermore, ensure quality environment for building
occupant. After this, the advances in the robotics and automation in the
construction industry has grown rapidly.
Despite the advances in the robotics and its wide spreading applications,
painting is also considered to be the difficult process as it also has to paint the
whole building. To make this work easier and safer and also to reduce the number
of labours automation in painting was introduced. The automation for painting the
exterior wall in buildings has been proposed. Above all these the interior wall
painting has shared little in research activities. The painting chemicals can cause
hazards to the 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. These factors motivate the development of an
automated robotic painting system. This project aims to develop the interior wall
painting robot. This automatic wall painting robot is not designed using
complicated components. This robot is simple and portable. The robot is designed
using few steels, conveyor shaft, spray gun and a controller unit to control the
entire operation of the robot. This robot is compact because of high speed and
pressure capabilities they have. They also have a very small weight to power
output ratio and predictable performance ie., losses are minimum due to less
number of moving parts and so gives expected performance. Due to elegant and
simple control systems it can control noise vibration and does silent operation and
no vibration is produced. It has longer life, flexibility and it is efficient and
dependable, and the installation is simple and the maintenance is also easy. Some
of the conditions that have to be considered while using this robot is that the
system is operates in pneumatics, so it needs air tank or compressor and the electric
shock is always there, which makes the machines ugly and dust and dirt are
adhering to them. The life of the parts like seals, packing and gaskets etc., are very
short but, they are essential to prevent leakage so that the system becomes costlier.
PROBLEM DEFINITION :
Hence there is need of an special device that will coat the entire surface in a
mechanical step by step manner to ensure that the complete surface is painted
without form of patches , change in sade or non uniformity of paint.
SOLUTION
Wall painting robot is a simple device that carries the entire paint application
set up from one end to other end wall to other using a moving platform, uniform
coat is provided by a reciprocating arrangement where as the up and down motion
is achieved using a lead screw and nut arrangemen.
This machine easily solves the above problem which other wise is really
difficult without such aid. The machine needs compressed air supply for paint
application where as movement of the robot and painting set up is done using DC
motors .
CONSTRUCTION & WORKING :
1. Base Frame : The Primary base frame is the base element provided with
castor wheels, The primary base is made of mild steel square tube and mild
steel plate. It supports the entire assembly of the spray paint system
2. Vertical motion system: The vertical motion system comprises of the screw
and nut , lifter screw held in two ball bearings and nut connected to the
carrier. Rotation of screw is converted to translation of the spray paint
system u or down
3. Paint storage : Paint storage is done in a small tank of 0.8 to 1.2 liter
capacity mounted on the structure . The compressed air is supplied through
the chamber to carry the paint to the spray rotor end.
6. Reciprocation system
For uniform application of paint the spray painting gun is reciprocated to
and fro using a slider crank mechanism comprising of crank, connecting rod
Motor for reciprocation and up-down motion
DP/DT switch:
The DP/DT switch is an electrical direction control switch which changes
the direction of rotation of the motor and there by controlling the motion
of the screw rotation and thereby the up down motion of the
WORKING
DP/DT switch has an central OFF position, when operated to one of the ON
position, the motor will rotate in clockwise direction , operating the motor and
thereby the pinion . The pinion rotates to rotate the gear and thereby the main
screw and the nut translates up or down to move the spray gun slide up or down.
When other switch is operated the motor will rotate the and the gear with
crank shaft is rotated. This motion is converted to reciprocation with help of
connecting rod. The spray painting gun is mounted on the slider that reciprocated
to give uniform painting.
ADVANTAGES :
1. The painting process is virtually impossible without the painting robot set
up.
2. The painting robot saves on time required for painting.
3. The painting robot saves on the labor cost.
4. As robot is automatic , it reduces human effort.
5. Easy to maintain.
6. Cost effective.
APPLICATIONS:
1. Wall painting
2. Painting internal and external surfaces of storage tanks
3. Painting process industry installations
4. Painting oil refinery installations

DESIGN
System design
Mechanical Design.
System design mainly concerns the various physical constraints and ergonomics,
space requirements, arrangement of various components on main frame at system,
man + machine interactions, No. of controls, position of controls, working
environment of machine, chances of failure, safety measures to be provided,
servicing aids, ease of maintenance, scope of improvement, weight of machine
from ground level, total weight of machine and a lot more.
In mechanical design the components are listed down and stored on the basis of
their procurement, design in two categories namely,
Designed Parts
Parts to be purchased
For designed parts detailed design is done & distinctions thus obtained are
compared to next highest dimensions which is readily available in market. This
amplifies the assembly as well as postproduction servicing work. The various
tolerances on the works are specified. The process charts are prepared and passed
on to the manufacturing stage.
The parts which are to be purchased directly are selected from various
catalogues & specified so that any body can purchase the same from the retail shop
with given specifications.
SYSTEM DESIGN
5.Chances of Failure
The losses incurred by owner in case of any failure is an important criteria of
design. Factor safety while doing mechanical design is kept high so that there are
less chances of failure. Moreover periodic maintenance is required to keep unit
healthy.
6.Servicing Facility
The layout of components should be such that easy servicing is possible.
Especially those components which require frequents servicing can be easily
disassembled.
9.Weight of Machine
The total weight depends upon the selection of material components as well as the
dimension of components. A higher weighted machine is difficult in transportation
& in case of major breakdown, it is difficult to take it to workshop because of more
weight.
MECHANICAL DESIGN
Mechanical design phase is very important from the view of designer .as
whole success of the project depends on the correct deign analysis of the problem.
In ,mechanical design the components are listed down & stored on the basis of
their procurement in two categories
Design parts
Parts to be purchased
For design parts a detailed design is done & designation thus obtain are compared
to the next highest dimension which is ready available in market.
The parts to be purchased directly are selected from various catalogues &
specification so that any body can purchased the same from the retail shop with
the given specifications.

Shaft is provided with dimples for locking ; this will reduce its strength.
Hence reducing above value of allowable stress by 25%
fs max = 108 N/mm2
This is the allowable value of shear stress that can be induced in the shaft
material for safe operation.
But as per manufacturing considerations we have an H6h7 fit between the carrier
and shaft and to achieve this tolerance boring operation is to be done and minimum
boring possible on the machine available is 16mm hence consider the minimum
section on the shaft to be 16mm
