ATL
ATL painting technology refers to a specialized process for painting surfaces that is used in various branches of industry. The term “ATL” stands for “Automated Tape Laying” and refers to automated tape laying, which is a characteristic feature of this process.
ATL painting uses a painting robot that applies paint tapes precisely to the surface to be painted using a computer-controlled system. These paint strips can have different widths and thicknesses, depending on the requirements of the part to be painted. Thanks to the precise control of the painting robot, complex patterns, designs or protective layers can be applied to the surface.
An important advantage of ATL painting technology is its efficiency and reproducibility. By using automated systems, painting processes can be carried out more quickly and a high level of precision and consistency in painting can be guaranteed. This makes ATL particularly suitable for the series production of parts where consistent quality and short lead times are required.
ATL painting technology is used in a wide range of applications, including the automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, electronics and other industries where surfaces need to be finished with high-quality paint. It provides an effective way to protect, enhance and create aesthetically pleasing surfaces to meet the requirements of various applications.
