Painting - Dürr cooperates with Kuka
Dürr and Kuka have signed a cooperation agreement: Together, the two companies want to launch an integrated solution - called "ready2_spray" - for automated paint application.
Kuka is contributing a small robot from the KR Agilus series to the new system solution, while Dürr is providing the technology for paint application. "The unique selling point is the perfectly coordinated and proven components that have been integrated and brought together in an automated painting solution. This is unique on the market," Stefan Lampa, CEO of Kuka Roboter, is convinced.
The paint application technology is available in various equipment versions. The system and its components will be completed at Dürr and put into operation in advance. Among other things, the cooperation agreement regulates development, series production, marketing strategy and the delivery and after-sales processes. The sales concept provides for the robot to be offered on the market by both Kuka and Dürr.
