High Energy Efficiency With Maximum Flexibility

Heimer Lackieranlagen und Industrielufttechnik GmbH & Co. KG

A manufacturer of high-quality machine components decided to invest in a new coating system as part of a restructuring of the entire production line. The plant concept enables more flexible production planning with high energy efficiency. PDF-Download

More Windows in Less Time

Venjakob Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG

Until now, the coating of window frames at the Norwegian window manufacturer Gilje Tre was done manually. But recently, a fully automated painting system has ensured faster and more flexible production with consistently high quality. PDF-Download

Time-Saving 2-Colour Coating With Partial Intermediate Drying

Heraeus Noblelight GmbH

The car manufacturer Audi relies on a process that produces two-tone contrasting paints in a single pass. An important component of the new concept is an infrared module that follows the geometry of the vehicle and realises the necessary partial intermediate drying. PDF-Download

During application, it is imperative that airless pumps remain functional and efficient. Two new features are designed to prevent both icing and pump leakage. PDF-Download

Defying the Wind and the Weather

Rodopi Personal GmbH

For offshore wind farms in the North Sea, the salt water and the sea air make corrosion protection a key consideration. The weather conditions represent the biggest challenge when applying coatings to wind turbines and other structures. PDF-Download

Precise Paint Removal for Electromobility

Edwin Büchter

By means of precise laser-based paint removal, it is not only possible to spot-de-coat battery housings made of aluminum or galvanized sheet steel, but also to remove paint from enamelled copper wire residue-free. The blank copper wires are thus optimally prepared for the further soldering or welding process in the stator production of the electric motor. PDF-Download

Efficiently Prepare Washing Fluid

Eaton Technologies GmbH

Significant quantities of cleaning fluid often accumulate in production processes. For economic and ecological reasons, the best possible treatment and reuse is desired. A new filtration system in use at an automotive supplier ensures a significant increase in efficiency. PDF-Download

Long-Lasting Mobile Devices Thanks to Rhodium

Umicore Galvanotechnik GmbH

Although most mobile devices are already designed for significantly longer life cycles, corroding charging contacts and connectors make the otherwise intact device suddenly unusable. A rhodium/ruthenium alloy now gives the contacts unprecedented corrosion resistance. PDF-Download

Overhead Painting of Crane Counterweights

Vollert Anlagenbau GmbH

A new painting plant speeds up and simplifies ballast coating for a crane manufacturer. The heavy counterweights for mobile lattice boom and telescopic cranes with lifting heights of up to 245 metres are coated individually or in groups, ergonomically suspended, up to a total weight of 20 tonnes. 25 product carriers are in circulation.
