The new EcoRP4 generation optimises accessibility and reduces operational costs for high-volume automotive painting.
Dürr has officially introduced the EcoRP4, a fourth-generation painting robot, designed to redefine efficiency in automotive paint shops. Specifically engineered for high-volume lines and standardised applications, the EcoRP4 succeeds the six-axis Eco RP E/L x33iC.
Key Technical Innovations
- Asymmetric Architecture: The tool center point (TCP) is offset laterally by more than 200 mm from the main axis. This design allows the applicator to reach difficult areas like door rebates and hinges with ease.
- Compact Design: A slimmer "Arm 1" reduces the footprint in the workspace while increasing clearance around the car body.
- Integrated Process Technology: Most control technology is housed in Arm 1, featuring a new continuous cover with side access for faster maintenance.
- Simplified Drive System: Axes 2 and 3 now use a direct pinion gear drive on the motor shaft, eliminating extra gear stages to reduce wear and costs.
The compact EcoRP4 painting robot features an asymmetrical architecture.
The EcoRP4 also minimszes paint and rinsing agent loss due to short tubing lengths in Arm 2. It supports the HTE process and is available in mirrored versions for both sides of the production line.
