Encore Automation is an award-winning integrator of robotics and automation systems. Encore was awarded Fanuc’s integrator of the year in 2016. But they have the expertise and ability to integrate any combination of robots, applicators, paint supply, in any combination of brands or systems. We will work to your specification to provide each manufacturing plant with the type of equipment they desire. TKS offers the ultimate brand flexibility and our recommendations won’t be trying to push our in-house product. We’ll always recommend the best combination of equipment and systems for your job.
A paint feeding system is the most vital system within a painting plant. We focus on centralized paint quality control, paint composition and supply works, organic solvent regulations, and energy-saving measures like electric pumps (vs hydraulic). The goal is a stable and improved paint quality for our customers. Every paint shop is different. TKS offers each paint system as an independent module, so each customer can mix and match to meet their requirements. We specialize in providing custom designs & custom engineering for each client for each vehicle. We are a full-service design-build industrial contractor.
With proprietary in-house engineering, simulation, and design capabilities, TKS can help you choose tank lengths, conveyor speed, and dip angles to meet your company’s requirements. TKS has a patented counterflow design circulation system for Electro-deposition (ED) tanks. Rather than a traditional eddy swirling, which kicks up dirt from the bottom of the tank, our Counter-flow technology moves the entire ED current in one direction, from exit to entry. At vehicle entry the e-coat paint / UF water mixture is pulled through a UF filter module, and pumped back to the end of the tank. This ensures that the last layers of ED coating are the cleanest. See even more information on painting EVs.
TKS can design heated flash off tunnels for your paint process, using a heater box to provide hot air blow (HAB) to allow for the waterborne paint to set prior to the next coat of paint. Typically followed by a short cooling tunnel with cold air blow (CAB) to return the vehicle to near room temperature before the next layer of paint is applied.
All four major ovens: E-coat oven, Sealer oven, (optional) Primer oven, and Topcoat oven all consist of heat-up and hold zones. In a 3-wet paint booth process arrangement, there isn’t a Primer oven, instead a heated flash off (HFO) is used. Sometimes there are also smaller ovens for black-out and cavity wax. We offer a paint-drying oven that responds to temperature increases in body areas. The oven design will increase heating in zones of thick parts, such as sill inners or pillars where it is difficult to dry paints, while maintaining the temperature of keep-zones with a minimized flow rate to reduce dirt contamination and reduce energy usage.
Integrity is in the forefront of our every business endeavor. How we are perceived by our customers, suppliers and associates will determine our future. Also, how we achieve our goal is as significant as the goal. Therefore, we will conduct ourselves in such a manner as to convey our credo of honesty, fairness and ethical behavior.
