With the increase of painting works and the decrease of skilled workers, the demand for robot painting for large-scale steel product is rapidly increasing. But there are many technical problems in the development of the painting robot for this use. The collision between a robot and workpiece is one of the most important problems, because the robot operates in a small space of workpiece. Above all, the collision of the painting material supply hose with coated film is very serious problem. To avoid the hose collision, we have already proposed a new type of inner supply line, which is called In-line system. The point of this system is sealing performance and its endurance. In this paper, we propose a pipe support method with compliance to strengthen the sealing performance. We discuss how to design this method, which is based on the analysis of elastic deformation of O-ring. We have developed the prototype of painting robot with the In-line system designed by this method. Application of this robot to the painting of ship-hull block is also discussed. Results from this operation show the effectiveness of the In-line system.
