Dürr has unveiled four new industrial robots tailored for automotive paint shops, with payload capacities ranging from 20 kg to 150 kg. The EcoRS Generation 2 series is designed for various applications, including sealing, cleaning, and material handling, and features a reach of up to 3,100 mm. This standardized platform aims to streamline paint-shop automation planning and maintenance.
The introduction of the EcoRS Generation 2 robots is significant as it establishes a standardized solution for sealing applications, enhancing process quality and availability while reducing complexity throughout the equipment's lifecycle. Martin Wurst, product manager at Dürr, emphasized the benefits of this new platform for customers, particularly in achieving consistent seams across vehicle bodies.
Looking ahead, Dürr's focus on integrating robot mechanics, control systems, and application technology is expected to improve path accuracy and operational flexibility. The redesigned EcoRS platform, with its internal component relocation, not only minimizes interference but also simplifies cleaning and reduces space requirements. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
