SprayWorks Equipment Group has announced the capability of fabrication within its new facility in Kent, Ohio. Earlier this year, SprayWorks moved to a new facility, which increased the building size by almost 20,000 square feet (1,858.1 m2) and helped accommodate the transition to in-house fabrication.
Given widespread material shortages and inflation in recent months, bringing fabrication in-house was pivotal to faster turnaround times and decreasing production costs, according to the company.
Changes for Spraybot
The product most impacted by this change was the Spraybot, an automated plural component applicator for spray foam and polyurea. Fabrication equipment used to develop the Spraybot includes shears, a press brake, milling machines, and metal band saws.
As part of the move, SprayWorks brought on Jesse Anstine, who has nearly 20 years of experience with automation for spray applied materials.
Automation Advantage
“This has been a great achievement for SprayWorks, said Jeremy Davidson, head of production. “We now have the ability to design and fabricate automated systems all under one roof. With that ability, comes rapid research and development.”
“When our customers consider buying a Spraybot, it’s a big decision,” Davidson added. “Our goal is to make that choice easier by providing a faster return on investment, reduce the learning curve for applicators, and increasing the robot’s versatility. If one of our customers is bidding a job, we want our automation to be that critical advantage.”
