Fully automatic spray coating line for the coating of doors

The heart of the line is the spray coating machine ROBUSpro rotation and the newly developed BÜRKLE control concept for the integration of robots. High flexibility and BÜRKLE engineering allow up to 5 completely lacquered doors per minute with optimal coating results.
Robotics with BÜRKLE

Robotics with BÜRKLE

The YASKAWA robot is used to feed the system. It is integrated by the independently developed BÜRKLE control concept. Therefore no robotics know-how is required at the customer's site.
ROBUSpro rotation

ROBUSpro rotation

After grinding the door surfaces, the workpieces are transferred to the spray coating machine. The rotation system of the ROBUSpro as well as the air conditioning unit ensure optimal coating results at 13m/min. Thanks to the lacquer recovery from the PVC belt and the reduced overspray, the lacquer consumption is lower than with conventional systems.
Drying technology from BÜRKLE

Drying technology from BÜRKLE

Before the YASKAWA Robot stacks the coating process is completed by our gentle drying technology. From handling systems and spray coating machine to conveyor technology and drying systems - BÜRKLE supplies all line components and stands for successful line engineering.
Stacking or flipping by robot

Stacking or flipping by robot

Optionally, to increase the line capacity, the door can be flipped over for a further pass through the line when stacking. This increases the capacity from 5 door sides/min to 5 completely coated doors per minute.

Automation of PUR coating systems

Vacuum feeding with XARM

Vacuum feeding with XARM

For feeding parts in the running direction of the line, we offer the vacuum feeding system XARM for small to medium volumes. Conveniently, the parts are automatically deposited from a product stack onto the alignment roller conveyor.
Vacuum turning devices

Vacuum turning devices

Our vacuum turning device is used in various turning concepts to achieve a 180° turn of parts. In this line, for example, to flip a coated plate so it can then be coated on the side that is now on top.

Automation of laminating lines

Vacuum feeding with insertion arm

Vacuum feeding with insertion arm

For high cycle times, we offer loading and destacking systems with insertion arm and vacuum technology. In this system, the parts are continuously supplied at the same height via a lower scissor lift table and stacked identically at the end of the line.
Heavy-duty roller conveyors for stacks of parts

Heavy-duty roller conveyors for stacks of parts

Our product range also includes heavy-duty roller conveyors for providing or removing particularly heavy parts or stacks in the line. These are designed and planned to meet the various requirements.

Roller, pulley and belt conveyors

Roller, pulley and belt conveyors

Depending on the application, we offer our customers different conveyor systems. In this line, for example, roller, disc and belt conveyors. These are individually customised to the production requirements.

Vacuum feeding via portal system

Vacuum feeding via portal system

In many cases, we use our portal system technology for the supply of end products. Individually planned and dimensioned, several pallet positions can be integrated into the destacking and loading process. The area of application of portal systems also includes classic laying and handling requirements.

Robot integration

Robot integration

On a small footprint, the robot in this line assembles the door frame parts on the conveyor belt. The robot is connected via the robotics control concept developed by BÜRKLE, which sets no limits to the use of robots in other applications.
Trolleys, charging baskets, buffer stores

Trolleys, charging baskets, buffer stores

Placed on rails, our automatic trolleys and loading baskets ensure that the products get from A to B in your line. Here, for example, the four multi-levels are supplied with door blanks via the loading baskets.
