Energy Supply Systems for Automotive Paint Shops

Low Abrasion and Permanently Electrostatically Dissipative e-chains®

Automotive paint shops are highly sensitive environments where both cleanliness and safety are critical. Modern paint systems can release vapors during application and are highly susceptible to contamination. Even small particles or static discharge can lead to surface defects or create a risk of ignition.

To minimize these risks, the use of suitable equipment is essential. e-chains® made from abrasion-resistant materials help prevent particle generation that could contaminate the paint finish. In addition, conductive (ESD) materials safely dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of sparks and improving overall process safety.

igus Glide Bars for Chain Conveyors

In addition to the drive and rol e-chains, the slide profile is an indispensable element of the chain conveyor. The glide bar carries the applied loads and enables a continuous drive thanks to its low coefficient of friction.

Our glide bars made from iglide bar stock are designed for the high loads imposed by car bodies, are maintenance-free and have a low coefficient of friction.

Customer Applications

Repair cell for paint damage at SEAT

The Spanish company Procon has developed a system that automatically recognizes and repairs paint damage in car bodies. The pivot arms are equipped with our triflex® R dresspacks. The advantage for the customer here is the high flexibility of the dress pack, which at the same time has a firmly defined bend radius and thus protects the cable inside. In addition, cables can be easily removed or inserted into the chain.

Maintenance-free bearing for actuators in painting lines

These actuators from ARIS Stellantriebe GmbH are used as flap adjusters in painting lines. However, the frequent cycles result in a high load for the threaded components. Components from our dryspin® and iglide® bearing portfolio provide a remedy here.

Reliable cable management in the paint mist

More sustainability thanks to durable components: To guide the cable on the painting robot, this customer previously was using a hose that was constantly tearing off and did not adequately protect the cable.
