COMPACT SCANNING. EASIER SETUP.

INROPA^TM
scan-on-track

Automated robot paint programming in a compact setup

Inropa™ Scan-on-Track combines advanced 3D scanning and automatic robot program generation in a compact track-based setup designed for paint lines where space is limited. By moving the scanning towers instead of the parts, the system enables automated paint programming in existing production environments without the need for a large-scale scanning setup.

Paint Automation for Smaller Footprints

The Compact Way to Automate

In many production environments, the challenge is not the value of automated robot painting and programming, but how to integrate the scanning solution efficiently into the available line layout. Conventional setups often require additional free space before and after the scanning area, which can limit retrofit options.

Scan-on-Track addresses this with a different scanning principle. The parts remain in place while the scanning towers move along the track, enabling 3D capture and automatic robot program generation in a compact setup.

This creates a practical solution for manufacturers who want to automate robotic painting within existing production environments.

BENEFITS

Ideal for retrofitting paint lines for automation

Advanced 3D scanning for limited floor space

Automatic program generation for each part

Consistent high-quality surface finish

HOW SCAN-ON-TRACK WORKS

As part of an automated paint line, Scan-on-Track captures each part in 3D and works seamlessly with Inropa™ Automatic Programmer to generate the robot program automatically before the part moves on to painting.

1

The part enters the system

The part is transported on the conveyor into the Scan-on-Track system and stops for scanning.

2

The part is scanned in 3D

The scanning towers move along the track while the part remains in place, capturing its geometry and position.

3

A robot program is generated

Based on this data, Inropa™ Automatic Programmer creates an optimized paint robot program for each part.

4

The part moves to painting

The part continues through the line to the painting robots.

IDEAL FOR RETROFIT

Automation that fits your footprint

Inropa™ Scan-on-Track gives manufacturers a practical way to add automated scanning and robot program generation to existing paint lines. It helps turn automation from a major reconstruction project into a more achievable production upgrade.

For manufacturers looking to modernize, this creates a smarter path forward. Rather than replacing what already works, Scan-on-Track makes it possible to build on the existing line and move toward automatic robotic painting in a way that is both more realistic and more manageable.

An easier step into automation.

BUILT FOR AUTOMATED ROBOTIC PAINTING

CONSISTENT RESULTS ACROSS VARYING PARTS

For manufacturers introducing automatic robot painting into an existing line, consistency across varying parts is an important part of the upgrade.

By generating the robot program from the actual scanned geometry of each part, Scan-on-Track supports more consistent paint application and helps maintain a stable process and a high-quality surface finish across production.

OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

It is in particular the reduced production downtime and saved time in programming which has paid back the investment in less than one year.

Thomas Nielsen, Sauer-Danfoss

The support is very good; It’s easy to handle and you can get help within just a few seconds. I would definitely recommend anyone to use the Inropa software.
