RoadPrintz Inc. – Road painting system by truck mounted with robot

RoadPrintz Inc. has implemented long reach model for painting of road markings.

RoadPrintz Inc. develops road painting systems with robots mounted on trucks. In this system, Yaskawa robot MOTOMAN-GP20HL was adopted.
The robot is mounted on a customized truck featuring a reinforced suspension, 3-phase power unit, and high-precision GPS with a sensor package. An engineer can control the robot inside the truck with simple drag and drop operations. In addition, the GP20HL has a large work area but small interference area, so it can operate even at short/close distances between the robot and other equipment. This innovative system enables safe, accurate, and low-cost painting of road markings.

Benefits of introducing robots

– The systems can reduce labor and cost per mile.

– The safety is improved by the ability to work in the truck.

– Robots can paint 30% faster than conventional methods.

Customer’s voice

Yaskawa’s robot capabilities have improved paint quality. The combined use of MotoPlus™ SDK software and tools from the Robot Operating System (ROS)*1 provided the functionality to coordinate motion between the end-of-arm tooling and the robot arm for very precise painting.

*1: Open source software that includes robot development tools and libraries
