The DCS paintline is state-of-the-art. With cutting-edge robotic application technology and advanced environmental controls, you can expect the utmost in quality.

Conveyor / Washer / Air Handling / Robotics / Paint Mix Room

Conveyor...
Our tow-line conveyor system carries customer parts through a multi-stage washing and painting process, stopping in each of the robotic zones. Operating at 8-10 feet per minute, the conveyor system achieves a line output of 50-60 fully-loaded carts per hour.

Washer...
As customer parts enter the paintline, they are prepared for coating with a thorough, five-stage cleaning process. The chart below details this process.

Air Handling...
The DCS paintline uses a re-circulated air stream system with a 15% fresh air mix. The system incorporates four levels of filtration to eliminate contaminants.

The system provides air flow for our "downdraft" water wash booths in each of the paint zones, as well as the cure oven. The cure oven is heated to 200^o F with a 40 minute residence time.

Emissions from the line pass through a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer prior to exiting the plant, to avoid pollution. DCS recognizes and is in full compliance with federal EPA standards.

Robotics...
The DCS paintline features Fanuc P-145 robots in each zone of the line: Adhesion Promoter, Basecoats 1 & 2, and Clearcoat 1 & 2.

Each of the paint robots is equipped with conventional air spray applicators and Closed Loop Fluid Control. Our clearcoat paint robots are also equipped with P-mix II Fluid Control.

All of our robots use batch entry scheduling, ensuring reliability and efficiency.

Paint Mix Room...
Our Paint Mix Room is capable of utilizing 30+ circulating color systems, providing our customers unparalleled flexibility. We also have over 2000 sq. ft. of conditioned storage area. This area allows us to maintain a ready supply of paints, thus avoiding unnecessary delays. It also ensures the optimal quality of the paint will be preserved.
