Dürr wins German Innovation Award with EcoPaintJet

Dürr Systems AG has been presented with the German Innovation Award in the ‘Large Enterprises’ category for its EcoPaintJet robot painting system. EcoPaintJet is a groundbreaking innovation for the razor-sharp painting of cars and other products. The benefits of the process also impressed the jury of the German Innovation Award: 100% of the paint lands on the surface without any waste, with two-tone painting also made easy – and all this in a faster, more energy-efficient and resource-friendly way than before.

Always in front of the right rack: Less downtime for compartment fine positioning with camera-based positioning sensors

Pallet and container racks consists essentially of vertical columns and horizontal bars. In the past 20 years, the design of these installations has changed considerably. For cost reasons, thinner-walled materials were increasingly used. The loading possibilities and range of applications became significantly larger. Racks are increasingly affected by thermal and dynamic influences and shock loads have increased, e.g., from the integration of shuttle systems. The resulting deformation of rack components under load, for example, from deflection or expansion, must therefore be considered in detail.
