This robot allows to increase the quality of the painting, the performances in speed and acceleration but also to reduce the maintenance as well as the operating costs and finally to reduce the impact on the environment.
Reducing investment:
With the IRB 5500, there is no need to make major modifications to the booths to be painted since its mechanics is designed to move in the same spaces. Two robots and two bowls are enough to replace machines with nine bowls. Its working envelope larger than that of a classic paint robot makes it possible to go from four robots in the cabin to only two IRB 5500.
Thus the solutions based on the IRB 5500 do not lack advantages: competitive price (less material for the same application), narrower and shorter cabins and fewer applicators. In addition, installation times are shorter because its support structure has been designed to be mounted outside the cabin without disassembling it. All this has a significant impact on the investment and operating costs of the lines.
Increase performance and reduce product losses:
The increase in the quality of the painting is mainly due to the regularity of the speed of the robot in the zone of application. Indeed, its mechanical design makes it more precise and its high acceleration (2.4 G on average) gives it a constant speed of displacement.
Compared to conventional robots, the Robob IRB 5500 and Robobel 1000 high-speed bowl performance is superior: application speed multiplied by 2 and significant gains in consumption thanks to the 5% increase in the coefficient of transfer. Thanks to these accelerations, the robot allows a later opening of the applicator and thus reduces product losses.
Reduce maintenance:
Reducing the number of robots and applicators as well as the position of the robot above the part to be painted considerably reduce the cleaning of the line. The process box where ABB has brought together all of the paint control equipment is accessible outside the cabins, simplifying maintenance and reducing operating costs. Air handling costs and energy consumption were also reduced due to the smaller cabin volume.
Finally, all these benefits have an important effect on the environment because by reducing the consumption of products and energy, the number of equipment is reduced, resulting in less raw material and water used for an improved ecological balance .
