Modern painting plant built in 2019: State-of-the-art painting technology at your fingertips.
Customer requirements
Meeting the CNHi‘s technical standards was a matter of course – shade, gloss, structure and parameters of the paint.
The following painting quality requirements have also been set for this application:
Abrasion resistance
High UV stability
Flexibility of the paint according to the base material
Resistance to surface cracking from contact with a sharp object
CNHi
Pre-production
We designed a painting system with the correct adhesion to the base material.
We specified the surface treatments prior to painting.
Together with the customer, we defined the tests and measurements for approving the process.
We selected painting technology on a robotic line and the ideal process for this part.
We prepared a price quotation with regards to all the customer´s requirements (IATF).
We implemented the selected painting system on the robotic line and made adjustments to optimize the process.
Preparation and painting
The surface was prepared prior to painting.
We implemented the selected painting system on the robotic line and made adjustments to optimize the process.
We produced jigs for movement on the robotic line and in the dryer.
Together with the manufacturer, we adjusted the viscosity and the final gloss of the paint to achieve the right result.
The painting process underwent series testing, followed by successful tests according to CNHi requirements and standards.
The series production process was approved.
Assembly and packaging for Just in Sequence
Application of a protective foil and marking with the customer’s identification label.
Assembly of other components, cabling, lights and controls.
Packed in a returnable customer package in pre-prepared quantities for sequential deliveries.
Result: Customer satisfied with the quality and deadlines
The entire development of the painting process, including all approval steps, took 8 weeks from the order for painting to the first pieces coming off the production line.
The biggest challenge was to modify the painting system together with the manufacturer to achieve optimal adhesion properties.
