On July 3, ABB announced that its PixelPaint technology had been selected by Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd (M&M) for its new electric vehicle paint facility. The technology uses a paint head like an inkjet printer and will begin serial production in 2025. By deploying PixelPaint-equipped robots in dedicated cells, Mahindra’s paint shop will be able to apply finishes such as contrasting roof and pillar treatments on its new line of EVs in a completely automated process.

PixelPaint consists of a paint head with over 1,000 tiny, individually controlled nozzles, mounted on an ABB robot such as the IRB 5500 paint series. Combined with ABB’s 3D vision system and coordinated by ABB’s RobotStudio planning and programming software, the head tracks very closely to the vehicle body to ensure that 100% of the paint is applied to the car with no overspray or airborne misting. The deployment also includes 42 robots from the IRB 5500 family making M&M the first OEM in India to use PixelPaint technology for painting contrasting roofs and pillars.
