Robotic Painting Module for walls & ceilings.

The BOTPLANNERL5 Painting Module delivers robotic airless spraying with 4th/5th-axis control to maintain distance, angle, and overlap — producing consistent, professional-grade finishes.

Designed for standard contractor pumps and tips, it brings repeatability and safety to work that traditionally depends on operator skill and prolonged work at height.

Module Overview

Mounted on the BOTPLANNERL5 cascade elevator, the Painting Module keeps the spray head at a controlled distance and angle from the surface. The mecanum chassis handles precise positioning, while the 4th/5th axes orient the extension pole to maintain consistent standoff and overlap from floor to ceiling.

Key Features

Core capabilities

Airless painting with robotic precision

The module clamps a standard extension wand and airless tip. A dedicated actuator (or high-pressure solenoid) controls spray start/stop, synchronized with robot motion to keep patterns consistent.

  • Programmable vertical and horizontal spray patterns
  • Consistent standoff control via elevator + 4th/5th axis
  • Ceiling and high-wall coverage with reduced lift/stilt dependence
  • Compatible with primers, paints, sealers and coatings used on site
Jobsite benefits

Quality, productivity & safety

By automating long repetitive passes, the Painting Module frees crews to focus on masking, detailing and QC — while reducing strain and exposure associated with extended overhead work.

  • Uniform film build and appearance across large areas
  • Target productivity: up to faster on large walls & ceilings (project-dependent)
  • Reduced work-at-height exposure and fatigue
  • Operator model: typically 1 operator supervises 1–2 robots; up to 3 with experience and the right project flow

Motion Control & Integration

The Painting Module uses the same BOTPLANNERL5 platform architecture as the Skimming and Sanding Modules. The chassis, elevator, power system and core controls remain the same — only the end-effector changes.

Motion & control

4th/5th-axis spray orientation

  • Pitch & roll control to follow walls and ceilings
  • Speed synchronization with spray triggering to maintain overlap
  • Helps prevent banding, over-application and uneven coats
  • Ready for future camera/sensor feedback (distance and edge control)
Indicative specs

Performance targets

  • Coverage: comparable to manual airless tools, with higher consistency
  • Materials: standard airless-compatible paints & primers
  • Nozzle control: trigger-actuator or high-pressure solenoid
  • Programmable standoff distance
  • Height: depends on mast length + L5 elevator
  • Power: 48V LiFePO₄ architecture (platform-level)
