Ecopaint Robot – HIGHEST
FLEXIBILITY DURING PAINTING
Two processes for the operation of
Ecopaint Robot painting stations:

In stop-and-go operations the car body is conveyed into

the booth and held stationary while painting.

For tracking operations, the car body is conveyed at a

constant speed through the spray booth for painting.

Stop-and-go robots typically move on rails or travelling

axes; tracking robots can be either pedestal-mounted » EcoScreen 3D OnSite offline simulation
(line tracking) or rail-mounted (rail tracking).

Ecopaint Robot painting stations provide

customer-specific solutions due to flexible
modular designs:

» Modular robot arm concepts allow for flexible integration

of the Dürr paint dosing and color change systems:

» Standard version of the » Robots can be installed in either pedestal or rail-moun-
robot with a EcoBell2 ICC ted designs
rotation atomizer » Application robots for opening, holding and closing of
doors and hoods
» Dürr control concept to drive all robot variants with
integrated safety PLC, operating unit, PC and monitor

Simulation capabilities are used to design the painting

station including consideration for and optimization of
process-specific parameters such as conveyor-type,
spray booth characteristics and painting requirements.
With the aid of 3D models of the car bodies to be painted,
the EcoScreen 3D OnSite software designs the paint path
and spray patterns for the complete painting station. The
robot control system transfers the data for the motion
sequence and the painting. Teaching of the robot is only
necessary when dealing with difficult parts for fine-tuning.

Controls, safety controls and power supplies for the robots

are located at a user-friendly height in the control panels
next to the booths. The EcoScreen visualization and oper-
ator panel is located on the station control panel.

Opening, holding and closing during

interior painting

The Scara robots have been developed to assist with appli-

cation tasks for interior door painting. This provides a grea-
ter process control with higher line speeds, as the painting
robots do not have to take over the tasks of the handling
robots. The modular construction of the hood and trunk » EcoRP L030 (Scara)

» EcoRP door opener with 6 – 7 axes the flexibility by three degrees of movement in the opening
process.

Areas of application: Stop-and-go and tracking operations.

Description: This door opener is constructed following the
Scara Principle. The axes 1 and 2 are used for horizontal
positioning and the Z axis is used for the vertical positioning.
The gripper tool on the axis is usually in the form of a hook.
Safe, reliable performance is achieved through sensors
that register the various operating statuses, thus avoiding
handling errors and collisions. The door opener is placed on
a travelling axis.

Mobility for painting and application robots

Robots can be moved parallel to the conveyor direction in
the painting booth using EcoRail E and EcoRail C travelling
axes. The travelling axis is a freely programmable
horizontal axis of motion for robots. With the Clean Wall
solution, the travelling axis is integrated into the booth
wall to save space.

EcoRail E
» Dual Rail Clean Wall solution
The possibility exists to install the EcoRail E travelling axis at
different heights – according to the specific painting job. This
ensures that painting and application robots are mounted
at the optimum height. The advantages are: For complex requirements
» Accessibility to all areas to be painted
» Interference- free view inside the booth With box concepts in combination zones or during tracking,
» Greater flexibility during painting jobs it may be necessary to have two travelling axes arranged
vertically above each other. This achieves shortened zone
lengths for painting booths. EcoRail E and EcoRail C
EcoRail C are available as an optional Clean Wall design. This design
protects the adjacent booth wall and the robot travelling

wall. The advantages are: (overspray) and minimizes the cleaning requirements.
» Automatic mastering
» Explosion-protected version
» Reduced booth width
» Expansion of workspace for robots
» Capacity for 24 circulating colors,

Visualization

The user interface and plant visualization system EcoScreen

serves an important function as go-between between man
and paint shop. It is the task of EcoScreen, through operator
guidance, to simplify the operation of the systems and to
make the complex parameterization transparent for the user.

EcoScreen 3D OnSite is a 3D visualisation and programming

software developed by Dürr. Responsible for the production
and processing of robot programmes, it was conceived
for the parameterization of the relevant process data. In
this way, the robot cell user is directly involved and has an
optimal work tool available for programming and simulation
in the production.
