Commissioning of the system is planned for 2023 at Chery’s company headquarters in Wuhu.
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.
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.
In the eastern Chinese province of Shandong, Dürr is currently building two paint shops for Sinotruk, the leading manufacturer of heavy trucks for the world’s largest commercial vehicle market, China. The paint shops equipped with state-of-the-art technology will be used to coat truck cabs and pick-ups of Sinotruk’s premium brands, with the focus squarely on high quality, responsible use of resources and cost efficiency.
Technology leaders Dürr and Uniper will jointly offer integrated solutions for waste heat recovery with ORC systems. The cooperation, which was agreed in September 2021, creates synergies for both companies.
Moving heavy parts or working in areas with difficult ergonomics can be a major challenge for employees on production lines. With its manipulators, Dürr Brazil has introduced a handling and assembly equipment that eliminates heavy and non-ergonomic work and contributes to a safe and efficient working environment sustainably.
