ISO Non contact paint applicator
(OP)
Designing a mechanism to apply a thin layer of paint to round pieces of steel. Must be NON contact. Right now the best option seems like an airbrush with a sheath to prevent over spray. There must be a better method out there. Suggestions ?
Thank you
Thank you

Every automotive assembly plant uses electrostatic spray paint application. I don't know who supplies the equipment, but google will work as well for you as it does for me.

Or mask the area you don't want painted, then remove the masking, which is more expensive.
Or use one of the roller pinstriping tools they sell at car shows.
... or explain why the cylinders can't be touched.

NON contact is mainly a customer request, and is desired to eliminate the variables listed above.

Pick-and-place mechanism that dips a brush into the paint and then puts it in contact with the workpiece while another mechanism holds the part in a little chuck and spins it? If the parts are always the same, it's pretty easy. If they come in batches and you can have a set-up change-over, it's harder. If the process involves variable diameters and part shapes, life will be miserable. If varying sized parts come down the line randomly, much more so.
