Finishing robot for coffins

UNI-CLEVER model L/C

The UNI-CLEVER L/C finishing robot for coffins is a continuous painting device with a longitudinal loading direction for coffins. Its structure includes main, loading and unloading conveyors, all based on a chain mechanism designed specifically for transporting coffins.
In addition, the finishing robot is equipped with a hydraulic scissor lift that allows painting coffins at their entire height, and thanks to the additional use of the coffin positioning system, it is possible to precisely and precisely place the coffin on the loading conveyor.

After appropriate retrofitting, the painting robot can be used in the following industries:

  • Coffin elements (e.g. coffin legs, crosses)
  • Spatial elements and solids
  • Boards and countertops

What makes the L/C model coffin robot stand out?

What’s unique in the UNI-CLEVER L/C painting robot is the longitudinal direction of loading of coffins. This solution allows to combine a finishing robot with a dryer to create a painting line.
