AUTOMATED PAINTING LINE FOR AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING PLANTS
Tân Phát ETEK – Vietnam’s Leading Pioneer in Automated Painting Solutions

The field of automated industrial painting is one of the most complex challenges in production automation—a domain that demands the seamless integration of mechanical engineering, precise control systems, standardized environmental conditions, and high operational stability.

Tân Phát ETEK, with nearly two decades of relentless dedication to industrial automation, has continuously pushed the boundaries of what is possible in automated painting solutions. From its early, experimental projects to today’s fully operational paint lines producing tens of thousands of units annually, Tân Phát ETEK has left a significant mark on Vietnam’s industrial landscape and is steadily expanding its influence across the region.


KEY IMPLEMENTED PROJECTS


1. Automated Painting Line for a Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant

The first project was an automated painting line serving a European two-wheeler brand with a manufacturing facility in Vietnam. Strict requirements in aesthetics, durability, working environment, and color consistency posed significant challenges.

Tân Phát ETEK successfully integrated high-pressure spray painting robots, a closed-loop paint circulation system, ISO-class standard paint booths, exhaust gas treatment systems, and VOC solvent recovery units.

This project laid a critical foundation for Tân Phát ETEK to develop deep technical expertise, paving the way for more advanced and large-scale painting projects in the future
 

 

2. Painting Line Project for an Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Plant

With the rapid rise of the electric vehicle industry, Tân Phát ETEK was selected as the system integrator for the painting line dedicated to EV body frames and chassis—where the expectations go far beyond “beautiful finishes” to encompass performance optimization, data connectivity, and full-process management.

Key technologies implemented include:

     - Spray painting robots integrated with real-time film thickness measurement sensors.

     - Smart paint booths capable of automatically adjusting airflow, pressure, and temperature based on each specific vehicle model.

     - A plant-wide SCADA system to manage and store production data, enabling traceability and quality control for each individual frame.

Notable sub-projects include:

     - Electrostatic powder coating line for car seat frames – 750,000 sets/year

     - Two-tone painting lines with capacities of 8 JPH NET and 15 JPH NET

     - Painting line for automotive bumpers with a capacity of 6–8 JPH NET
 

 

3. Exporting Automated Painting Lines to International Markets (India, Indonesia) – 50,000 Vehicles/Year

Building upon its domestic capabilities, Tân Phát ETEK has steadily asserted its position in international markets such as the Philippines, India, and Indonesia.

This marks a strategic turning point in the company’s journey toward the globalization of its technological competencies and system integration capabilities.

 

 
 

THE KEY FACTOR BEHIND OUR SUCCESS

The cornerstone of our success lies in our team of highly specialized engineers, who possess hands-on experience across all three critical areas: mechanical design, control programming, and paint material technologies.

This team not only delivers rapid project implementation but also focuses on operational optimization, energy efficiency, chemical consumption reduction, and enhancing the customer's autonomy in system management.

 
 

Throughout its development journey, Tân Phát ETEK has clearly defined its role as a “total solution provider” — covering every stage from site survey, layout design, production flow analysis, robot & PLC programming, to system commissioning and maintenance.

We have mastered the art of system integration with major industrial robot brands such as ABB, Yaskawa, and KUKA, seamlessly combining them with electrostatic coating systems, mist spray booths, intelligent material feeding systems, and customized MES/SCADA production management software.

Today, when manufacturers in Vietnam and the broader region raise the challenge of automating their painting lines, Tân Phát ETEK is no longer an alternative — we are the strategic partner, equipped with the technical expertise and real-world insight to deliver complex projects with optimal timelines and guaranteed output quality.
