ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS
Painting
No robots available right now.
In summary
Painting robots operate in ATEX-rated explosive environments and require hollow-wrist mechanical design, intrinsically safe sensors and a dedicated paint package interfacing with bell or gun controllers. Eurobots Marketplace lists used paint robots from KUKA, FANUC and ABB — the workhorses of European paint shops, from carpentry batches to automotive body lines.
About this application
Painting robots operate in explosive (ATEX) environments and require dedicated hardware: hollow wrists for the paint hose, intrinsically safe sensors, and a paint-package that interfaces with the bell or gun controller.
Used paint robots from KUKA (KR 16 EX, KR Agilus EX), FANUC (P-50iB, P-250iB) and ABB (IRB 5500, IRB 5710) are the workhorses of European paint shops — from small carpentry batches to full automotive lines.

Frequently asked questions
Can a standard 6-axis robot be converted to paint?
No. Painting robots need ATEX certification, hollow-wrist mechanical design and explosion-proof internal cabling. Converting a non-explosion-proof robot is not safe and not legal in EU paint booths.
What payload does a paint robot need?
5–16 kg is enough for most spray applications because the bell or gun is light. The relevant spec is reach (1.8–2.6 m for car bodies) and the hollow-wrist diameter that fits your paint hose package.
Bell or gun applicator — does the robot care?
Mechanically the robot doesn't care, but the controller integration does. Older paint robots were often delivered with a specific paint package (Dürr, Sames Kremlin, Wagner) that may need re-licensing or rework when you switch applicator vendor.
How much does a used paint robot cost?
Bare-arm used paint robots range from €15,000 to €60,000. Complete paint cells with bell, paint supply system and booth retrofit can reach €120,000+ depending on age and integrator work.
