Dürr and Kawasaki Robotics have electromechanically adapted products from each company’s respective portfolios, simplifying and speeding up the integration of robots and painting equipment into robot-assisted painting systems. The ready2integrate concept encompasses a range of Dürr products that seamlessly interface with Kawasaki robots. This includes metering pumps, color changers, spray guns and the EcoBell2.

Select Kawasaki robots, such as the RS007L high-speed robot and the new KJ155 painting robot, are compatible with Dürr’s established EcoAUC controller. Customers can quickly choose compatible Kawasaki and Dürr products for quick installation and operation with a simple selection matrix. Numerous joint customer projects are currently underway.

“We want to enable a range of businesses to automate their painting processes,” said Ulrich Tautz, sales manager industrial products at Dürr. “Therefore, it is crucial to keep effort and obstacles for integrators and end customers to a minimum. This is precisely the aim of our ready2integrate concept. It includes the perfect matching of our painting technology with leading industry robotics. Compatible Kawasaki robots and Dürr applications and control technology are the perfect addition to the ready2integrate product range.”

Marc Kluge, team leader marketing at Kawasaki Robotics, sees great potential in the collaboration. “Dürr is a global market leader for painting technology and the perfect partner for Kawasaki Robotics to combine state-of-the-art solutions and economy,” he said. “It was great to see how our teams brought their know-how and ideas together, and we are delighted to bring the fruits of our joint labor to the market now.”
