A highly advanced paint line has been implemented for a leading premium automotive manufacturer to coat complex bumper components with maximum precision, efficiency, and ergonomic excellence. The system is tailored to meet the stringent quality requirements of premium vehicle production.
Technical Highlights:
- Skid Conveyor Technology for Complex Component Handling
At the core of the system is a state-of-the-art skid conveyor that ensures precise and reliable transport of complex parts through all process stages — from loading to final unloading. - Camera-Based Part Verification and Position Control
Immediately after parts are placed onto the conveyor, an integrated camera system verifies the encoded part reference and its position tolerance, ensuring accurate tracking and high process reliability. - CO₂ Snow Jet Cleaning for Pre-Treatment
The in-house produced raw parts are gently cleaned using CO₂ snow jet modules. This dry, residue-free method removes loose particles without the use of chemicals. - Water-Based Multi-Layer Coating with Intermediate Curing
The painting process consists of primer, base coat, and clear coat layers. Each layer is individually cured to ensure optimal adhesion and premium surface quality. - Energy-Efficient Oven Layout on Upper Level
To maximize energy efficiency, curing ovens are located on the upper level of the building. Skid lifters transport parts vertically and precisely to the required zones, optimizing space and energy use. - High-Efficiency Application with Electrostatics & High-Speed Rotary Atomizers
In the base coat process, a hybrid application system combines conventional spraying with electrostatic high-speed rotary atomizers using potential separation. This setup ensures top-quality coating results while minimizing material consumption. - Ergonomic Quality Inspection Integrated into Rework Process
Final inspection is carried out via multiple ergonomic inspection levels, seamlessly integrated into the rework process. This ensures efficient quality control and consistent finishing standards.
