Dürr is aligning its painting technology with robotics solutions for general industry needs. As part of its collaboration with Kawasaki Robotics, both partners have electromechanically adapted products from each company’s respective portfolios, simplifying and speeding up the integration of robots and painting equipment into robot-assisted painting systems.

The ready2integrate concept encompasses a range of Dürr products that interface with Kawasaki robots. This includes metering pumps, color changers, spray guns and the EcoBell2. Select Kawasaki robots, such as the RS007L high-speed robot and the KJ155 painting robot, are compatible with Dürr’s established EcoAUC controller. Customers can quickly choose compatible Kawasaki and Dürr products for quick installation and operation with a simple selection matrix.

“We want to enable a range of businesses to automate their painting processes,” says Ulrich Tautz, sales manager industrial products at Dürr. “Therefore, it is crucial to keep effort and obstacles for integrators and end customers to a minimum. This is precisely the aim of our ready2integrate concept. It includes the perfect matching of our painting technology with leading industry robotics. Compatible Kawasaki robots and Dürr applications and control technology are the perfect addition to the ready2integrate product range.”
