ABB Inc. Product
ABB’s PixelPaint non-overspray technology eliminates the need for time-consuming masking and demasking methods for two-tone painting in the automotive industry, significantly reducing time and costs, improving productivity, and expanding possibilities for customized paint schemes to meet customer demand.
Today’s consumers are increasingly demanding individualized paint schemes for their vehicles, featuring either a contrast color or a personalized paint finish or design.
- PixelPaint is 50 per cent faster and more sustainable, using an inkjet head to eliminate overspray, ensuring two-tone paint and individual designs are applied in one pass, without masking and de-masking.
- ABB’s innovative PixelPaint solution incorporates a high painting inkjet head, dosing control package and easy to use RobotStudio programming software for two tone and decorative painting applications.
- Pixelpaint is available as a cell using two ABB IRB 5500 robots.The non-overspray technology prints paint directly on to a target area using the printing nozzle head instead of spraying with a conventional atomizer, resulting in 100 percent transfer efficiency.
- With no need for masking or de-masking, a customized paint job can be carried out in a single pass, reducing cycle times by around 50 percent.
