Malaysia’s NMS Robotics orders 80 robots for vehicle painting
The RMB23.84 million order includes installation, operator training and after-sales support, marking the supplier’s first Malaysian order.
China-based industrial robotics group Lianhe Sowell disclosed on 19 October that Malaysia’s NMS Robotics had ordered 80 vehicle-painting robot sets under a RMB23.84 million contract. The equipment is intended for the automotive aftermarket, which services vehicles after their original manufacture.
Lianhe Sowell’s subsidiary, Shenzhen Sowell Technology Development, will supply the robots in batches. The group described the contract as its first Malaysian order; its announcement did not specify the signing date.
The purchase includes installation, commissioning, operator training and after-sales support. Alongside the 80 systems, NMS Robotics is buying the supplier’s help to set up and check the equipment for operation and train the people who will use it.
Lianhe Sowell says the system combines coordinated movement across nine axes, three-dimensional vision and spraying technology. Operators handle supporting tasks and final inspection, placing the automated painting step within a workflow that continues to involve people.
