Dürr is aligning its painting technology with robotics solutions for general industry needs, meeting the increasing demand for automatic, flexible and high quality painting processes, which already are a long-establishe standard in the automotive industry.
As part of Dürr’s recent collaboration with Kawasaki Robotics, both partners have electromechanically adapted products from their respective portfolios, simplifying and speeding up the integration of robots and painting equipment into robot-assisted painting systems.
The ‘ready2integrate’ concept is intended for a faster implementation of complete painting solutions in the general industry sector, encompassing a range of Dürr products that seamlessly interface with Kawasaki robots. This includes metering pumps, color changers, spray guns, and the EcoBell2. Select Kawasaki robots, such as the RS007L high-speed robot and the new KJ155 painting robot, are compatible with Dürr’s established EcoAUC controller. Customers can quickly choose compatible Kawasaki and Dürr products for quick installation and operation with a simple selection matrix. Numerous joint customer projects are currently underway.
Marc Kluge, team leader marketing at Kawasaki Robotics, sees great potential in the collaboration: “Dürr is a global market leader for painting technology and the perfect partner for Kawasaki Robotics to combine state-of-the-art solutions and economy. It was great to see how our teams brought their know-how and ideas together, and we are delighted to bring the fruits of our joint labor to the market now”.
