Robots to apply toxic coatings
Qlayers is a young, passionate company situated in Delft, that is building robots to apply the coatings of the future.
Our products turns toxic, inefficient, unsustainable and unsafe manual coating processes into
fully automated coating processes which are efficient, high quality, sustainable and safe.
The robots are tested to operate in the most demanding environments. The controls are designed to be intuitive for operation by a crew not necessarily experienced to work with (semi-) automated equipment.
Qlayers helps conservative and energy-intensive industries to become more sustainable. With our automated coating application method, we can create nature-based microstructures such as the drag-reducing ‘sharkskin’ microstructure in certified coatings at high speed to increase energy efficiency.
