Cranes Wet painting Coating Construction cranes

Efficient coating for construction cranes reduces paint consumption

In order to make the coating of cranes more efficient, one manufacturer upgraded its wet painting process to electrostatic technology. This significantly reduced coating thicknesses and paint consumption.

Protective foiling of aluminum surfaces - VOA data sheet

Temporary film coatings to protect aluminum surfaces from damage are often used in architecture. They can leave behind film or adhesive residues, about which the VOA has produced a new information sheet.

Painting CO2-neutral painting Painting system

CO2-neutral painting thanks to renewable energies

CO2-neutral painting is already a reality in the paint shop of a vehicle body and paint store. The company consistently relies on renewable energies such as photovoltaics and geothermal energy for heat and electricity.

AI edges Laser cutting Cutting Assistant Trumpf

Improving edges during laser cutting with AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) helps to improve the quality of edges during laser cutting. A cutting assistant uses AI to independently determine parameters for laser cutting, evaluates the component edges and makes suggestions for optimization.

Compact sputtering system for surface finishing

Compact sputtering system for use directly at the workbench

Sputtering is an ideal surface treatment for components with physical properties such as high strength or low weight. A compact coating system is now available as an alternative to conventional large, complex sputtering systems.

Laser drying Battery cells Electrode drying

Laser drying in battery cell production

A laser-assisted roll-to-roll drying process can make electrode drying in battery cell production more economical. It combines conventional oven-based convection drying with laser drying.

Wood construction screws Corrosion protection

Timber construction screw corrosion protection thanks to zinc flake surface

Timber construction screws are exposed to severe weathering and require high-quality corrosion protection. The best possible corrosion resistance and durability for timber construction is achieved with a zinc flake coating.

Reliable cleaning of medical technology products

Particulate and filmic contaminants must be reliably removed from manufacturing processes in order to clean medical technology products reliably and in line with requirements. Regulatory requirements must also be met.

Corrosion protection vibrating screen Microzinq Zinq

Corrosion protection for weld-free vibration screening machine

A newly developed vibrating screening machine without weld seams places high demands on corrosion protection. This is because the coating system must be extremely resistant, which is ensured by a special zinc melting technology.
