Upstream sealing stations in the car manufacturing painting process are already highly automated. However, sealing is still performed manually for hard-to-reach car body parts. Dürr recently developed a solution to further increase the level of automation and significantly reduce the need for manual intervention.
Higher first-run rate, less rework, systematic fault analysis: DXQplant.analytics helps paint shop operators improve production quality and effectiveness. The latest software tool from Dürr’s DXQanalyze product family detects systematic fault patterns and their causes early, making it much easier to find the relevant fault source.
Private research institute Rescoll in France offers tests with Dürr's EcoPaintJet. Big things start small: since late summer 2021, end customers have been able to test paints, substrates and the corresponding application for a low cost at the French research company Rescoll for compatibility with Dürr's EcoPaintJet in order to prepare optimally for series production.
The EcoProBooth opens up new perspectives in spray booth technology for car manufacturers. With its modular box concept, independent lines and the combination of interior and exterior painting in a single box, it provides a degree of scalability and flexibility previously only possible for small-scale series.
Four days, different time zones and languages. At its 12th open house, Dürr presented new products to increase efficiency and profitability in manufacturing and reduce resources for large volume manufacturers and small electric car startups alike.
Dürr has built a high-tech paint shop for Ford in Hermosillo, Mexico, in order to accommodate a new vehicle that Ford will be producing. The new replacement paint shop is located next to the existing stamping and assembly plant. It makes clever use of local climatic conditions, targets modern technology, the latest digital solutions, and high painting quality.
Identifying defect sources, determining the optimal maintenance schedule, improving manufacturing processes: until now, artificial intelligence only made this possible in a paint shop equipped with state-of-the-art robots. Now, however, Dürr is significantly expanding the scope of its AI applications with the enablement of analysis software from the DXQ product family for sealing. In addition, a unique interface solution makes it possible to incorporate robots from existing paint shops for the first time.
Dürr installs an automatic painting line for its customer Nordex, which is based in Montevideo, Uruguay. Nordex has been producing vehicles in Uruguay since 1962 for different OEMs. The company contracted Dürr for its new Peugeot SUV and Kia Bongo line to fulfil all demands in quality and precision.
