2.1.1. System basics
General
The Feather Duster Robot system is a pre-paint finishing equipment mounted on a 6 axis
manipulator. It is used to remove dust and dirt particles from car bodies and from surfaces to
be painted.
This system utilizes brushes manufactured from ostrich feathers to remove contaminants,
which are then vacuumed from the brushes with an exhaust fan. It replaces the tack-off
machine with more flexibility and high efficiency.
System overview
Besides robot and robot controller, a complete Feather Duster system consists mainly of an
ostrich roller, a de-ionization unit, an exhaust system and a process cabinet.
