Monitoring Paint Quality in Real Time

ABB Automation GmbH

For the first time, a new networked paint atomiser makes it possible for coating quality to be evaluated and adjusted in real time. As a result, material consumption can be reduced and the efficiency of the painting process increased. PDF-Download

Improved Performance in Harsh Conditions

Graco Distribution bvba

A new range of robust airless spraying devices with a long service life can be used to apply tough protective coatings and corrosion protection products. The design of the sprayers makes it possible to use them in cold, dirty or damp environments and leads to high-quality results with low pulsation levels and a reduction in the risk of icing.

Shorter Processes and Improved Quality

Peter Lobendank

Mitras, a manufacturer of distribution boxes, switched to the powder in-mould coating (PIMC) process to improve the surface quality of its housings and make its parts handling more efficient. PDF-Download

Resource-Efficient Paint Shop for Electric Cars

Günter Buzer

The new Chinese car brand Byton will provide the mobility solutions of the future. The Chinese start-up that has created the new brand is also using the very latest manufacturing systems and has invested in a fully equipped paint shop. The key features of the new painting plant are a 20 percent reduction in the footprint and the use of pioneering technologies. PDF-Download

Protection Layer by Layer

Dörken MKS Systeme GmbH & Co. KG

A new two-layer passivation system provides significantly improved corrosion resistance. The key feature of the process is the synergy between the two layers which results in increased protection against rust. PDF-Download

Transparent Application Process under Complete Control

Gema Switzerland GmbH

A new gun control unit not only produces very high-quality coatings, but also comes with an app that makes access to current application data easier and enables the unit to be controlled directly from a smartphone. PDF-Download

Cost-Effective, Fully Automated Powder Coating

Michael Topp

A new integrated coating centre can increase the productivity of the coating process and improve the availability of the application system. Together with an automatic powder booth, a powder recovery system, spray guns and other components, it forms the basis for a fully automated powder coating facility. PDF-Download

Efficient Coatings for Heat-Sensitive Substrates

IGP Pulvertechnik AG

Powder coatings are both more environmentally friendly and generally also more efficient than liquid paints. A new single-coat powder can be used to coat MDF, wood and other heat-sensitive substrates much more quickly and using less material. PDF-Download

3D Metallic Coating in a Single Layer

Christian Lutz

A new technology allows metallic powder coatings with the same appearance as metallic paint to be applied in only one layer. The special effects are visible from every angle and the settings of the application system have a minimal impact on the coating. PDF-Download

Double Diaphragm Pump with Sensor System

Timmer GmbH

An intelligent stroke sensor is a much more effective solution for recording stroke frequency than conventional systems. As well as automatically adjusting the switch point, it also enables operating data to be captured and exported and the pumping process to be monitored in real time. PDF-Download

Completely Dry and Free from Stains

Reinhold Specht

In many cases not enough attention is paid to the drying process during the planning of cleaning systems. This can suddenly change when the drying stage becomes a bottleneck because of quality problems and slows down the entire production process. PDF-Download

Self-Maintaining Cleaning Machines

Michael Ickert

In almost 90 percent of manufacturing companies, workpieces and components are cleaned using wet processes. The results of these processes depend on the cleanliness of the water-based cleaning fluid or the solvent. To what extent can a cleaning machine with an automated maintenance system reduce the workload of the company producing the parts? PDF-Download

Cleaning Six Engine Components

BvL Oberflächentechnik GmbH

A specially designed basket cleaning machine allows six different engine components with relatively inaccessible channels to be cleaned reliably and efficiently. PDF-Download

When are parts sufficiently clean?

Tobias Lutz

The cleanliness of parts and surfaces is an important quality consideration and also a significant competitive factor. But how can companies find cost-effective cleaning solutions that meet their needs? PDF-Download

Metal Coating as a Base for Paint

Patricia Preikschat

Painting steel that has been galvanised or coated with a zinc alloy can give rise to undesirable blooming or blistering over large areas of the surface. A new type of zinc alloy helps to resolve this problem. PDF-Download

Consistently Good Blasting Results

Heinz Neise

In order to achieve consistently good shot blasting results, a manufacturer of stainless steel products invested in a continuous pipe blasting machine. The new system ensures that the products are blasted to the required standard, is highly efficient and can cover a much larger area during the blasting process. PDF-Download
