ABB在柏林發布最新噴涂機器人

2006-08-08 - A few days after the World Cup final ended, another band of world class players entered Berlin to take part in the fifth International Strategy Conference on Car Body Painting.

2006-08-08——世界杯決賽結束幾天之后，另一隊世界級與會者來到柏林參加第五屆國際車身噴漆策略大會

Joining ABB’s global paint management team in the German capital was Tormod Gunleiksrud, managing director of ABB’s robot factory in Bryne, Norway, and the vice president sales and marketing, Udo Grohmann.

在德國首都參與ABB全球噴涂管理團隊的是挪威Bryne市ABB機器人工廠的管理經理Tormod Gunleiksrud以及市場營銷副總裁Udo Grohmann。

In Berlin, Grohmann unveiled the latest news from Bryne - a new car body painting robot called the FlexPainter IRB 5500, and a new generation of rotary atomizers.

在柏林，Grohmann公布了來自Bryne的最新消息，名為FlexPainter IRB 5500的新型車身噴漆機器人，以及新一代的旋轉噴霧器。

This combination of ABB technology paints a car body faster than today’s industrial standard, while maintaining the highest level of quality and reducing paint losses to a minimum.

這一ABB技術的結合比今天的工業標準更快地噴涂一輛車身，同時維持最高的質量水準，將噴涂損失減少到最小。

“This is an important venue for ABB,” said Grohmann. “Just receiving an invitation confirms our position as one of the world’s leading suppliers of car body painting robots, and attending an event like this helps us strengthen our position by putting us in contact with the decision makers of the automotive industry.”

Grohmann表示：“對ABB而言這是一個重要的場合。收到這個邀請表明了我們是世界上領先的車身噴涂機器人供應商之一，而參加這樣的大會則幫助我們與汽車行業的決策者加強聯系，增強了我們的地位。”

The Berlin conference attracted more than 220 paint experts from all over the world, including auto manufacturers, material and system suppliers and service providers.

本次柏林大會吸引了全球超過220家的噴涂行家參與，包括汽車制造商、材料和系統供應商以及服務提供商。

Here they could see the FlexPainter IRB 5500, and learn that in addition to speed, reduced paint losses and high quality results, the robot is designed for tighter installation. That means less spray booth space is needed on the production line, while customers can maintain production volumes with fewer painting robots and associated equipment.

在這里他們可以看到FlexPainter IRB 5500，而且可以了解到除了速度、減少噴涂損失以及高質量的噴涂之外，該款機器人的設計適合更緊密的安裝。這意味著在生產線所需要的噴涂空間更小，同時客戶僅需更少的噴涂機器人和相關設備就可以維持生產量。

A tailor-made painting solution 

特制的噴涂解決方案  

“The IRB 5500 is a tailor-made painting solution for the automotive industry,” Grohmann explained. “With its fast acceleration and unique design, we have pushed back the boundaries of auto body painting technology. The FlexPainter is cost cutting in practice.”

Grohmann解釋道：“IRB 5500是為汽車工業特制的解決方案。通過其快速的加速度和獨特的設計，我們已經推后了車身噴涂技術的邊界。FlexPainter在實踐中可以減低成本。”

At the conference, Grohmann spoke of the challenges of exterior car body painting, and described how customers can benefit from ABB’s FlexPainter, and reduce their costs.

在大會上，Grohmann談及了車身表面噴涂的挑戰，描述了客戶是如何通過ABB的FlexPainter機器人受益以及減少他們的成本。

“I think we managed to communicate that ABB’s painting robots live up to our vision of making our customers more effective, while at the same time lowering the impact on the environment. We have the right products at the right time with the newest technology, and that is exactly what the industry wants,” Grohmann said.

Grohmann表示：“我認為我們設法表明ABB的噴涂機器人達到了我們的預計，就是在減少對環境影響的同時，讓我們的客戶更有效率。利用最新的技術，我們在正確的時間擁有正確的產品，而且，這正是業界所需要的。”

ABB is a world leading supplier of paint automation with more than 10,000 painting robots delivered world wide.

ABB是世界領先的噴涂自動化供應商，在全球范圍內供應了超過10,000個噴涂機器人。
