From Blank to Bumper: Spray Technology at Every Stop on the Vehicle Production Line
Spray technology touches nearly every stage of vehicle production. Learn how precision nozzles and automated systems help plants improve finish quality, reduce material, water and air use, and keep lines running from press shop to final assembly.

Vehicle manufacturers face constant pressure to hold finish quality and process repeatability while controlling material, water, chemical, and compressed air use and keeping lines moving. Spray applications appear at dozens of points across the plant, and small differences in nozzle selection, pressure, and coverage can have a large effect on defects, rework, and cost per unit.
This webinar follows a body through the plant and stops wherever something is sprayed, including the press and body shop, parts cleaning and degreasing, pretreatment and e-coat, the paint shop — including seam sealing, anti-chip, and underbody coating — final assembly and testing, and the utilities that support all of it. Sam Scully will walk through common challenges at each of these stops and show how properly engineered nozzles and automated spray systems improve performance.
Attendees will learn practical ways to reduce lubricant, sealer, and water waste, improve coverage consistency across complex body geometry and seams, cut compressed air consumption at blow-off, and eliminate downtime from nozzle wear, clogging, and unplanned stoppages. Whether you focus on process engineering, maintenance, paint quality, operations, or sustainability, you will leave with actionable ideas to bring back to your plant.
