Robotic Painting
The automotive industry is constantly increasing its emphasis on fully automated robots in mass-production painting. The Dürr Ecopaint painting robot, which can be seen in the film, is the most successful product of its type worldwide with more than 3,000 installations.
RoDip
With the RoDip dip-painting process the body is primed at the beginning of the painting process. Specific to RoDip: The body rotates in the dipping basin and an optimal moisturizing is thereby applied, even in cavities.
Industrial Cleaning Technology
Engine and transmission components must be precisely cleaned prior to assembly in order to prevent operation breakdowns – preferably with equipment by Dürr Ecoclean. In the film you will see how workpieces in a cage are immersed in the cleaning fluid.
Final Assembly
A finished automobile results within just a few hours from a painted body and a multitude of components in the final assembly of automobiles. Dürr supplies the technology for assembly, filling, testing and materials flow.
Balancing
From miniature engines weighing just a few grams to 400-ton heavy aggregates of a steam turbine: revolving and oscillating components must be balanced in order to increase the service life and quality of the products. The film shows a 6-station machine that balances an electric armature every five seconds recorded in an electrical engine production facility.
