The 9‑axis intelligent painting robot.
The NST‑H8 sprays full car bodies and batched parts with a consistent, repeatable finish, and installs into the booth you already own.
No painters to hire. Finishes that vary. Craft that can't be copied.
Refinish spraying has carried the same three problems for decades. The NST‑H8 answers all of them: the robot takes the coating pass so people stay out of the fumes, lays the same coat run after run, and carries a master painter's technique as an algorithm, on every robot, every shift.
The shortage is measurable. The United States needs roughly 100,000 more collision technicians over the next five years, with 85% of body shops backlogged two weeks or more; the United Kingdom projects a 76,000‑technician gap by 2030; China's new‑energy aftersales shortfall is estimated at 824,000. A painting robot doesn't replace your painter; it covers for the painters you can no longer hire.

A short film from inside the booth: the robot, the gantry and the system, end to end.

NST equipment runs inside the plants of around 100 vehicle and battery manufacturers, from global EV leaders to premium marques. Gantry painting robots are already delivered and earning inside the direct aftersales networks of leading EV makers and major dealer groups: paying customers, not pilots. Today the robot ships worldwide through local sales partners.
On the world stage
Showcased at the World Economic Forum
In 2024 the NST painting robot was presented at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, known as Summer Davos, demonstrated on a real car to an audience of global industry and government leaders. Few paint-shop machines can say the same.
