Specialists at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ) have completed the installation of new industrial robots in the paint production facility. The robots will be used to apply mastic to the underbody of UAZ vehicles and the partner brand Sollers. They will replace up to 70% of manual operations, ensuring the stability of the technological process.
Automation will allow for a more uniform and precise application of the protective layer, minimizing the human factor. This will improve the quality of anti-corrosion treatment, enhance noise and vibration isolation of the bodies, which will directly affect the comfort and durability of the vehicles in operation — especially in Russian conditions with harsh climates and poor roads.
The introduction of robots has become a key stage in the UAZ's phased modernization program, aimed at import substitution and increased efficiency. Detailed technical characteristics of the equipment (including robot models and software), as well as data on performance, are promised to be disclosed later — after full configuration and the line reaching its planned mode of operation.
