Automated Coating Solution for Carbon Fiber Workpieces
Carbon Fiber Coating: Carbon fiber products are perfectly capable of being painted, but this process must strictly adhere to professional standards. Carbon fiber, with its high strength, high stiffness, and low density, has wide applications in aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and sporting goods industries.
To ensure the aesthetics and durability of the products, surface coating treatment is crucial. Before treatment, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned, oil and dirt removed, and sanded smooth. When painting, a nano-coating agent specifically designed for carbon fiber should be selected to ensure the coating possesses excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high-temperature resistance.
Carbon fiber coating typically requires specialized spraying equipment, such as electrostatic spray guns. These utilize electrostatic adsorption to ensure paint particles adhere more evenly to the object's surface, improving paint utilization and coating uniformity. A feed pipe delivers the paint from the pump to the spray gun. During operation, parameters such as spraying pressure, flow rate, and spray width must be adjusted to meet different spraying requirements.
At the same time, it is also necessary to comply with environmental protection requirements, adopting paints and processes that meet environmental standards to reduce environmental pollution. Using environmentally friendly atomization technology in spraying equipment and precise paint control technology can improve paint utilization and operational efficiency, reduce paint mist dispersion, reduce waste generation, reduce resource consumption, and lower the pollution of waste to the environment.
IMLUCKY offers a wide range of products and different coating technologies for you to choose from!
Coating Case Study
Carbon fiber bicycle frames are made by combining carbon fibers with resin, and the finished product is created through a complex multi-step manufacturing process, with a significant portion still done manually. In recent years, driven by production capacity demands, contract manufacturers have been committed to developing and implementing automated production processes to increase capacity and ensure consistent first-pass yield.
This application case study focuses on the coating of carbon fiber bicycle frame components for a client.
Automated robots equipped with automatic electrostatic rotary cup sprayers are used, resulting in fast and uniform coating. This reduces paint waste, alleviates environmental pressure, increases production capacity, and achieves excellent coating quality and extremely high coating efficiency.
Based on the client's coating requirements, IMLUCKY's professional technicians customize a complete solution for the client.

Case Study Challenge
Challenge: Unstable spray flow rate led to inconsistent paint film thickness. Existing automated spraying solutions were only semi-automatic. The chassis, being a complex, irregularly shaped workpiece with internal radius corners, required manual repainting, hindering both production capacity and yield.
Solution: The solution combined ProMix PD2K+ProBell with a spraying robot. Precise spray flow control and a volumetric electronic dispensing system ensured consistent paint film thickness. ProBell's unique fine spraying method achieved a high first-pass yield, eliminating the need for manual repainting and presenting process control data digitally on-site.
Results: The customer integrated PD2K's rapid color change and automatic cleaning into their existing production process, enabling flexible online order scheduling and significantly reducing downtime and paint waste. Combined with ProBell's uniform and fine spraying, the finished product coating became highly efficient and of controllable quality.
Based on a one-day workday, paint consumption was reduced by 32.3%-38.6% compared to before the upgrade. Reduces cleaning solvent usage by over 75%.
