ABB launches new paint atomizer for efficient and sustainable paint shops

POSTED 10/21/2024

• Contemporary paint atomizer increases transfer effectivity as a lot as 10% with a minimum 30% reduce price in paint break to enhance sustainable operations
• Reductions in CO₂ emissions can additionally be realized by reducing paint break and a extra efficient paint course of
• 10% reduce price in paint per automobile increases paint shop effectivity and delivers monetary financial savings

ABB has launched RB 1000i-S paint atomizer to revolutionize car paint stores. The brand new paint atomizer mounted on high of the ABB robot improves transfer effectivity by upwards of 10%, and might seriously decrease paint break by finally 30% alongside with carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, when put next to its predecessor, the RB 1000i. As well, main effectivity and price saving advantages possess the seemingly to bring valuable monetary financial savings.

“Major car producers possess committed to carbon neutral factories by 2035, leaving no stone unturned of their mission to assemble these targets,” talked about Marc Segura, President – Robotics Division at ABB.  “ABB is consistently constructing products and companies and products to wait on firms assemble their sustainability targets. The newly launched RB 1000i-S is actual one instance of how ABB is expanding its portfolio to wait on meet the challenges that lie ahead.”

The RB 1000i-S paint atomizer reduces CO2 and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions in car paint stores by reducing paint break, as well because the total energy consumption in vegetation thru a extra efficient paint course of.

Price financial savings can additionally be valuable. Shall we embrace, where a producer makes use of a 2.5-liter paint solvent borne per automobile and produces 200,000 autos per manufacturing facility per annum, the RB 1000i-S paint atomizer thru its improved transfer effectivity can wait on to avoid losing 50,000 liters of paint per manufacturing facility. This equates to USD 500,000 in tell monetary financial savings¹.

Customers can train the new RB 1000i-S atomizer with a brand new paint robot, or they need to purchase a provider kit to upgrade their unusual RB 1000i by replacing key parts, such because the bell cup and shaping air nozzle. The provider upgrade kit helps the circular economy and maximizes the lifespan of the present paint atomizer, rising product durability and extra reducing break.

The brand new paint atomizer alongside with ABB’s a form of robotics solutions had been engineered to wait on customers assemble a extra sustainable and resource-efficient future. Shall we embrace, ABB Robotics new Energy Effectivity Carrier gives producers with a equipment of session, analysis and instruments to amplify the energy effectivity of their robots, offering as a lot as 30 p.c energy financial savings (for extra facts please consult with our old press release right here). As well, the OmniCore^TM controller consumes as a lot as 20 p.c much less energy in heavy responsibility cycles², because of its built-in energy relieve into the grid and re-generation technology.  RobotStudio^® Computerized Direction Planning contributes to improved circulate interval, reducing energy consumption by as a lot as 30 p.c.
