Power assistance system of working habiliments type for painting worker in ship building

Abstract

This paper presents the power assistance system of working habiliment type for painting worker in ship-building. The painting worker carrying several tools such as spray gun, brush and roller should be stayed to do painting job in closed working space or inside internal wall of ship large block and in long time. Specially, the power habiliment system is realized by developing the mechanism and control technology to reduce the working load to be transferred to the muscular system of worker. And also it is developed to realize the human friendly optimal working motion. This paper shows the design of multi-axis link mechanism to do painting job of a variety of motion. It shows the control technology of painting work system to reduce the effect of the weight of painting tool and wearable painting system and the working load of painting process such as the reaction force of spray gun.
