FANUC secures major robot order for luxury car paint line
FANUC has received a significant order to supply a state-of-the-art paint system, including paint robots and advanced application technology, to a European luxury carmaker.
Almost 50 FANUC robots will paint both car bodies and plastic add-on parts such as bumpers. "We are managing the entire project, including installation," says Jan Kamenicky, head of paint at FANUC Europe. "Our application technology ensures fast changeover times and minimal paint loss."
FANUC impressed the customer with a cabin painting concept that requires fewer cabins and robots. FANUC's paint lab near Stuttgart, Germany, also played a crucial role in securing the order. The robots will automatically open the bonnet and boot and apply multiple layers of paint, with technology provided by FANUC partner Sames Kremlin.
"Like our standard robots, our paint robots are extremely durable and benefit from unlimited maintenance," states Jan. "This makes us an attractive partner for companies aiming for sustainable operations."
Painting robots are essential for achieving high-quality surfaces. They apply paint evenly and efficiently, while protecting employees from health hazards. FANUC, headquartered in Japan, offers around 200 robot models, including a wide range of painting robots and paint system solutions.
