Qingdao Huatao Automotive Parts Coating Project
Content trust and applicability
Project reference material describing delivered system scope, equipment choices, layout logic, and observed production outcomes.
Best used to compare application fit, delivery model, equipment stack, and project scale against your own line requirements.
Every project differs by part geometry, coating stack, takt target, utilities, customer standards, and facility conditions.
Case-study summary reviewed against TD project records, commissioning summaries, and the published project video archive.
Qingdao Huatao Automotive Parts Co., Ltd. launched a new automated paint line for interior and exterior automotive parts. The project combined ABB painting robots, electrostatic rotary bell atomizers, centralized paint supply, ball-track conveying, and integrated controls to improve takt stability, finish consistency, and color change efficiency.
Project Overview
System Configuration
Robot Systems
Multiple ABB painting robots configured for complex interior and exterior components.
Spray Equipment
ABB RB1000i electrostatic rotary bell atomizers for stable atomization and high transfer efficiency.
Paint Supply System
Centralized paint supply with multi-color change capability to reduce waste and downtime.
Conveyor System
Ball-track conveyor integrated with power-and-free handling for flexible part flow.
Control System
PLC-based automation, HMI visualization, and readiness for MES integration.
Project Outcomes

Project timing
The public case summary does not disclose exact start and completion months. This page is based on archived project records and commissioning summaries.
Measured vs estimated
Equipment availability and first-pass-yield figures reflect commissioning or early-run records. Capacity increase and labor reduction figures are directional project-review estimates, not third-party audited values.
Current operating status
Internal follow-up records and the published project video archive indicate the line entered service. Ongoing public operating status has not been independently verified after handover.
Verification material
Use the three project videos below as the verification entry point for facility layout, centralized paint supply, and booth/conveyor details.
Technical Highlights
Customer Feedback
The TD team delivered a complete automated paint solution for us. From engineering design to installation and commissioning, execution was professional throughout. After startup, the new line improved both throughput and first-pass yield while reducing rework and changeover losses.
