Surface equipment

WE TAKE CARE OF THE SURFACE UNDER THE PAINT

We all perceive the design and colour of a vehicle first, but the luxury design of the car is only maintained if the surface is also sufficiently protected. That’s why we mainly take care of the surface under the paint. This applies to drying, seam sealing, cavity preservation, cathodic dip painting (CDP) as well as media supply and disposal.

Our experience from process and Ex plants is also consistently applied here. For these application areas, our automation solutions offer the highest process efficiency. In this way, we not only protect the vehicle’s bodywork, but also reduce unnecessary material consumption.

We perfect cavity preservation with our surface equipment

We also rely on robotics for cavity preservation. Before the actual painting process, industrial robots apply a film of wax to the areas at risk of corrosion. For this purpose, they use special tools such as torches and injection nozzles.

In this way, we protect the car body optimally and minimise the use of materials at the same time.

OUR SERVICES FOR SURFACE FINISHING

How we automate dip coating in vehicle construction

With cathodic dip painting, an electrochemical coating method, we provide metal surfaces and cavities with uniform coating thicknesses and good surface qualities.

To this end, we automate all process engineering processes and ensure precise control of all necessary sequences. We work together with many well-known manufacturers of cathodic dip coating systems. You will then benefit from the high quality of our automation solutions.

We supply more than “just” surface equipment for your vehicles

We ensure an efficient infrastructure for automotive construction. Feel free to use our automation solutions for seam sealing, cavity preservation and dip painting in the production of your vehicles. We supply solutions for all component manufacturers, because even in the body shop and assembly of vehicles, the plant engineering and all processes must fit perfectly. This is your chance to make a leap forward:

REFERENCES FROM THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

The course has been set – for the new ID.4

The ID.4 has been rolling off the production line at the Volkswagen plant in Emden since spring 2022. In future, the plant is to become a pure e-factory. We have automated the electric overhead conveyors for the conveyor technology manufacturer ROFA.

All-rounder with sensitivity

The task of our Bremen robotics specialists was to use an extremely dexterous multifunctional gripper for various tasks in the automotive industry. The idea: To use the sensitive gripping tool for assembly activities or logistical tasks.

Barcode and QR code reading

The automotive industry is now also benefiting from proven technology from the beverage industry. Automobile manufacturers use industrial barcode technology for precise control in many places. The system, adapted from the beverage industry, is more flexible and efficient.

Smooth and safe

In automotive manufacturing, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are increasingly replacing classic push platform or electric monorail conveyors (EMS). For this purpose, we have developed a master control system according to the corporate standard of a car manufacturer.

Connect intelligently and quickly

Without them, nothing connects in the interior of vehicles. Clips that are installed to fix visible parts to the vehicle body. For this purpose, our automotive experts developed a system for automatic assembly.

Transporting heavy loads quickly and safely

Crane systems are used whenever heavy loads need to be moved: Crane systems. Automotive customers are convinced by the effectiveness of our SCHULZ Crane Systems for special work processes.
