More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to an automated painting system for oil tankers, which includes a mobile platform and an oscillating arm. The assembly only works by controlling cables, reels and wheels. This approach is aimed at painting large vertical walls. The painting platform is suspended by four cables, each cable being attached to a pivot on the mobile platform and two fixed pivots in addition to four winders. The winders contain a servomotor in a synchronous serial system. The cables are made of low-weight polyethylene. Each cable is attached to its own winder. Suspension is carried out with the aid of two tailored cranes and initiated by a further giraffe crane.
