ABB在柏林发布最新喷涂机器人

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——世界杯决赛结束几天之后，另一队世界级与会者来到柏林参加第五届国际车身喷漆策略大会

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.

在德国首都参与ABB全球喷涂管理团队的是挪威Bryne市ABB机器人工厂的管理经理Tormod Gunleiksrud以及市场营销副总裁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公布了来自Bryne的最新消息，名为FlexPainter IRB 5500的新型车身喷漆机器人，以及新一代的旋转喷雾器。

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.

这一ABB技术的结合比今天的工业标准更快地喷涂一辆车身，同时维持最高的质量水准，将喷涂损失减少到最小。

“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：“对ABB而言这是一个重要的场合。收到这个邀请表明了我们是世界上领先的车身喷涂机器人供应商之一，而参加这样的大会则帮助我们与汽车行业的决策者加强联系，增强了我们的地位。”

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

本次柏林大会吸引了全球超过220家的喷涂行家参与，包括汽车制造商、材料和系统供应商以及服务提供商。

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.

在这里他们可以看到FlexPainter IRB 5500，而且可以了解到除了速度、减少喷涂损失以及高质量的喷涂之外，该款机器人的设计适合更紧密的安装。这意味着在生产线所需要的喷涂空间更小，同时客户仅需更少的喷涂机器人和相关设备就可以维持生产量。

A tailor-made painting solution 

特制的喷涂解决方案  

“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解释道：“IRB 5500是为汽车工业特制的解决方案。通过其快速的加速度和独特的设计，我们已经推后了车身喷涂技术的边界。FlexPainter在实践中可以减低成本。”

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.

在大会上，Grohmann谈及了车身表面喷涂的挑战，描述了客户是如何通过ABB的FlexPainter机器人受益以及减少他们的成本。

“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：“我认为我们设法表明ABB的喷涂机器人达到了我们的预计，就是在减少对环境影响的同时，让我们的客户更有效率。利用最新的技术，我们在正确的时间拥有正确的产品，而且，这正是业界所需要的。”

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