Executive Summary :

The Project aims to design an automation method for day to day activities like Foam insulation of stage tanks with the use of spray gun with multiple degree of freedom. The system planned in this project must be capable of accurately position the spray gun relative to tank and the gun should move normal to tank and along the length of tank. The tank shall be positioned in a fixture where the tank is rotated relative to spray gun and the spray gun shall uniformly provide foam insulation over the tank to the thickness required.
