Intelligent painting robot

NST‑H8 · 9-axis intelligent painting robot

Eight years in development: a gantry-mounted 9-axis arm with AI vision sprays car bodies and batch parts in your existing booth, and applies liquid car-wrap film as well as paint.

On the gantry: a 9-axis arm, guided by AI

The arm travels on a gantry above the workpiece: 9 degrees of freedom with 8 interlinked axes follow the body’s curves and reach where fixed guns cannot. AI vision tracks the part in real time; collision avoidance keeps a safe distance from parts, fixtures and the booth.

Why NST

Built for the booth you already run

The NST robot spraying a black bumper while door panels wait in the same booth cycle — In production · one booth cycle

Batch loading
Doors, bumpers and fenders load together and spray in one run; up to 8 bumpers per cycle on a dual-layer rack (Tesla models).
Away from the mist
The robot does the spraying inside the booth; painters spend less time in paint mist and solvents.
Fits existing booths
Installs into your current spray booth without major structural work.
Fast payback
Based on operating data from existing customers, added refinishing revenue typically covers the purchase within a year.

Two working modes · after-sales system

Mode 1: scan on site, generate yourself

For a new model or part, the robot scans the workpiece and generates the spray trajectory automatically. No manual teaching, no waiting for factory support.

No teach

Mode 2: cloud collaboration

Or send the scan data to NST via the cloud platform; we build a production-ready trajectory and return it to you.

Done for you

Saved and reused

Scanned models and trajectories are stored in the local database automatically; the same model sprays again without rescanning.

Scan once · reuse

Training and support

Hands-on training and tutorials are included, with 7×24 support.

How it works

Three steps to a finished coat

Step 1

Position

Move the car or parts into the spray zone, fix them and confirm the work area.

Step 2

Scan

The vision system scans the body or parts and matches the model and trajectory.

Step 3

Spray

The 9-axis arm executes the trajectory with tuned process parameters for a uniform finish.

Certified for the booth environment

A spray booth is an explosive atmosphere, and the H8 is built for it: explosion-proof arm and servo motors and a positive-pressure enclosure, certified by China’s national explosion-protection station (NEPSI) and verified against EN IEC 60079‑0.
