Painting lines set benchmark for the coating of rubber profiles
Challenge
- Coating of various rubber profiles for the automotive industry
Solution
- Investment in two new painting lines from Rippert
- Resultant high availability and flexibility --> assurance of delivery capability
- Reduction of additional equipment in the systems to exclude potential causes of faults from the outset
- Product-specific component locations rather than customary Power&Free conveyor technology
- Permanent recording of production data for seamless quality management
- Use of the strong, reliable Motoman EPX2800 robot
- The robot carries four paint guns – the system operates with four independent paint circuits
- No time-consuming paint changes and no conversion work
- Use of servomotor-driven metering cylinders that enable precise, pulse-free metering of the paints
Result
- The painting systems meet all automotive requirements with flying colors.
- Rippert has closely cooperated to provide a convincing, custom-tailored overall concept; LacTec has integrated innovative application technology and Yaskawa has supplied an excellent painting robot, the Motoman EPX2800, whose strengths include reliability, precision and reach
