Dr. Hans Schumacher, Board Spokesman of Dürr Systems AG, says: "General industry has also seen a growing need for fully automated paint application of the highest quality. The new painting robot system offers a perfect complement to Dürr's product portfolio in the form of a compact painting robot for customers in general industry. The new solution is a true innovation in this market segment."
Stefan Lampa, CEO of Kuka Roboter GmbH, says: "Its perfectly matched and tried-and-tested components are a unique selling point. They have been merged and integrated into an automated painting solution, which is currently unique in the market."
The painting robot system consists of a six-axis robot equipped with state-of-the-art paint application technology. This system is available in different configurations. The system, with all its different components, is completed and pre-commissioned at Dürr. It is thus ready for use ("ready2spray") and can be quickly installed at the customer's site. Furthermore, the new painting system is fully Industry 4.0-ready.
"Dürr also offers a large version for general industry using its own painting robots, which have been tried-and-tested in the automotive industry. This is an automated system for painting larger workpieces. We can thus cover the entire range of customer requirements", says Dr. Schumacher.
Dürr has been sourcing mechanical systems for industrial robots from Kuka for a number of years and equipping these with its own application and robot technology for sealing in automotive production. For paint applications in the automotive industry, Dürr will continue to exclusively offer robots developed and produced in-house. Kuka does not operate in this field.
