Painted Components
In the Electro-Coating department, (assembled) car-bodyparts such as doors, bonnets and wings are pre-treated and electro-coated in a fully automated dipping line. This line consist of a logistic system with different loading and unloading stations, a series of treatment baths (pretreatment and e-coat) and of course a curing oven.
At the loading stations the products are placed in frames with useful dimensions of l*w*h = 3.6*1.8*2.0 m. After scanning the unique product code, the frames are brought into the logistic system where 2 shuttles transport them to the paint installation. Because of the product code, the installation ‘knows’ what treatment the frame, and thus the product, needs. The frames are then transported by automatic cranes which lead them through the necessary baths.
