For the first time ever, Lesta’s Self-Learning robots can finish complicated parts with variable part presentation from inconsistent hooks and fixturing. This hybrid system also works on both continuous and power & free conveyors. This new solution allows for an even easier transition for general industry to bring automation into their finishing operation.

LestaUSA is an innovative finishing automation and integration company created from the success of their family owned 3 generation contract job shop, DeGeest Corporation.

DeGeest Corporation uses everything that it sells in a production environment and the DeGeest Automation Division brings this proven automated manufacturing and production experience into every project.

In 2019, LestaUSA brought Lesta Italy’s simple self-learning robotic paint and finishing technology to North America. Lesta technology mirrors intricate human movements without the need for complicated programming or teach pendants.


This isn't your typical robot. Lesta robots record the movement and spray technique of your best painter or finishing technician in a weightless self-learning mode. Their skills are saved and repeated on future jobs empowering your employees to do more.

After building and integrating Lesta’s self-learning robotic technology into many new and existing powder and liquid systems for manufacturers, LestaUSA is back again and bringing multiple NEW application solutions to general industry.

Stop by our booth D45368 during FABTECH to check out:

1. 3d scanning technology to continue to make Lesta self-learning robotic systems even more user friendly

 Press Releases

  • DeGeest Corporation, a leader in complex steel weldments for OEM’s since 1976, has widened its scope of services to include integration of finishing automation in an effort to help other manufactures streamline their operations.

    “At DeGeest, we had incorporated automation into much of our operation except for finishing,” said Derek DeGeest, President. “In looking for a solution for ourselves, we found Lesta, which broke down the barriers of automating complex parts for all types of manufacturers. Lesta Self-Learning Finishing Robots empower your painter to use their knowledge to automate repetitive tasks and frees them up to focus on improving quality. It’s a perfect balance of robot and painter.”

    Based in Milan, Italy, Lesta Self-Learning Robotic and Scanning technology streamlines finishing operations by using a painter already on staff to program the robot for future jobs, instead of needing to hire an engineer or robotic programmer. To bring this proven European technology to North American manufacturers, DeGeest forged a partnership with Lesta under the name LestaUSA.

    “During our international travels, we discovered application technologies not available here,” added DeGeest, who is also President of LestaUSA. “So, we’ve made it our mission to provide these finishing solutions to help North American manufacturers stay competitive.”

    DeGeest has developed a fresh approach to distribution and integration by verifying benefits, capabilities and safety in its own production environment while also creating a comprehensive Test Lab. “By offering solutions that we know will work firsthand, we remove any doubt. It feels good to know we’re helping other manufacturers achieve more,” said DeGeest. “If we don’t use it ourselves, we won’t sell it.”

    The success of LestaUSA has resulted in opportunities to distribute additional finishing technologies previously not available in the North American market. Germany-based Pulver Control powder flow sensors monitor flow of powder from the gun in real time and notify your mobile device if the preset flow is compromised before any expensive rework is required. In addition, Nitrotherm Spray® and Polifluid® technology improve liquid and powder application quality and save money with increased transfer efficiency.

    DeGeest is committed to educating and inspiring manufacturers through the robotics and automation movement by sharing topics on automated solutions and upskilling the workforce through a Manufacturing a Stronger Standard podcast series, thought papers and industry peer presentations.

  • Pulver Control Powder Flow Sensor
    Monitor automatic powder guns and display actual flow of powder in real time. Sensors work with DeGeest software to bring peace of mind by sending email/text warnings and stopping the line before expensive rework if your guns are not working optimally....
     

    • DeGeest collaborated with German company Pulver Control to bring powder flow control sensors to North American automated powder coat systems. Pulver Control’s flow sensors work with DeGeest Automation’s software to monitor and display the actual flow of powder at each gun in real time.

    This can be used with any automatic powder gun on:

    • Robots

    • Oscillating Systems

    • Fixed Gun Systems

    Pulver Control provides peace of mind in knowing your guns are working optimally. We offer monitors to display each gun’s flow, and options for setting thresholds for display by sending email/text warnings and even stopping the line before a gun causes expensive rework.

    DeGeest Automation builds, integrates and supports Pulver Control technology right here in the USA. DeGeest’s mission to bring these best kept European application secrets home to help North American manufacturers stay competitive. DeGeest has installed all of these solutions into their own production lines and Test Lab along with Lesta Self-Learning Finishing Robots to understand their benefits and capabilities. All of these products are now distributed by DeGeest Automation.

  • POLIFLUID®
    Patented powder technology for constant humidity and temp control for consistent application conditions all day, in all seasons. Generates 10-30% savings of powder + increases production line speed. Works with existing equipment. Distributed by DeGeest....
     

    • POLIFLUID® is a patented system distributed by DeGeest that has become a revolution in powder coating technology.

    Using the principle of selective permeation, POLIFLUID® concentrates nitrogen contained in compressed air for use as the fluid carrier on all the stages of powder application.

    Polifluid eliminates the two previously uncontrollable variables of temperature control and humidity. It super chills the fluid temperature to 27 degrees and because the nitrogen carries no moisture, it creates constant humidity control. Application conditions can therefore be controlled and consistent all day and in all seasons.

    Polifluid doesn’t replace but works with your existing equipment.

    • Generates 10-30% savings of powder
    • Increases production line speed by 10-20%
    • Creates a more stable system for operators
    • Prevents powder from adhering and building up on the inside walls of the delivery hose and within the gun
    • Improves control of electro-static charge by reducing Faraday Cage related problems
    • Provides higher fluidity of powder during application, leading to better reach in difficult areas
    • Reduces discharge velocity on the gun, which leads to reduction of powder quantity

    DeGeest Automation builds, integrates and supports POLIFLUID® right here in the USA.
