ABB wins major robotic painting systems order
ABB贏得機器人涂裝系統大訂單

ABB has received a blanket order from the BMW Group for the implementation of their new painting process. Painting robots with application packages as complete functional painting systems are to be delivered over the course of the next few years. This follows BMW’s selection of ABB as its partner for industrial robots in 2008.

ABB收到寶馬集團的一個一攬子訂單，為寶馬實施新的涂裝工序。配備應用包作為全功能噴涂系統的噴涂機器人將在未來數年之中交付。這是繼2008年寶馬選定ABB為其工業機器人合作伙伴之后的又一訂單。

Zurich, Switzerland, August 18, 2011 – Most of the equipment will consist of ABB's latest generation of IRB 5500-type painting robots, which have exceptional performance capabilities and a space-saving configuration. They will be used for the fully automated base and clear coat application of the interior and exterior of car bodies. BMW will also use this robot series to treat and paint plastic parts.

瑞士蘇黎世8月18日消息——大部分設備將由ABB最新一代的IRB5500型噴涂機器人組成，它們具有優異的性能和節省空間的配置。它們將被用于完全自動化的工廠和車身內部和外部透明涂層的應用。寶馬還將這個機器人系列用于處理和噴涂塑料部件。

"Robots cut the cost of the painting stage of the manufacturing process and ensure lasting product quality improvement. This not only makes manufacturing processes more reliable, but also optimizes and enhances them," explains Ulrich Spiesshofer, ABB Executive Committee member responsible for the Discrete Automation and Motion division.

ABB執行委員會成員、離散自動化與運動控制業務部負責人史畢福表示：“機器人可以削減制造流程噴涂階段的成本，并確保產品質量提高的持久性。這不僅使得制造流程更可靠，而且還可以優化和提高制造流程。”

ABB technology has decisive advantages, particularly in the areas of features and configuration. Quality and precision play a major role, especially when it comes to paint application. At the same time, the use of robotics reduces pollution and actively cuts emissions.

ABB技術具有決定性的優勢，特別是在功能和配置方面。質量和精度非常重要，尤其是涉及噴涂應用的時候。與此同時，機器人的使用減少了污染，而且極大地減少排放量。
