WALL-MOUNTED ROBOT PROVIDES PAINTING SOLUTION FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
ABB Robotics offers its tailor-made painting solution for the automotive industry ? the FlexPainter IRB 5500. The unique design and configuration of the wall-mounted robot creates the largest and most flexible robot-working envelope of any exterior car body robot.
The IRB 5500 features:
? Speed ? the new generation of rotary high flow atomizers paints a car body faster than today?s industrial standard, while maintaining the highest quality level.
? Saved Space ? designed for tight installation, the robot takes up less space on the production line.
? Reduced costs ? since less spray booth space is needed, as well as fewer painting robots and associated equipment, the FlexPainter cuts costs in practice.
? High finish quality ? the robot?s arms move parallel to both vertical and horizontal car surfaces, eliminating the need for overlapping painting.
? High flow ? specifically designed for the FlexBell Cartridge System (CBS), the paint loss from a color change is close to zero.
? Control ? ABB?s exclusive Integrated Process System (IPS) provides high speed and accurate closed loop process control, minimizing over-spray.
? High uptime ? designed for 100 percent uptime, all process equipment is easily accessible on operator floor level. In addition, supporting ABB software allows for easy programming and process tuning without production interruptions.
