Ebbinghaus improves KTL coating with modern robot system

Ebbinghaus Styria Coating GmbH in Graz, part of the Ebbinghaus Group, relies on state-of-the-art technologies and customized coating solutions for various industries. For example, a new state-of-the-art robot system now enables fully automated production from delivery to dispatch. Automation further increases production efficiency and coating precision. Specially developed coating racks ensure that all upstream and downstream processes run smoothly. Ebbinghaus Styria also works with its customers to coordinate special load carriers that enable seamless integration of the customer's production processes into Ebbinghaus Styria's manufacturing processes. The fully automated processes not only increase efficiency, but also enable a significant increase in capacity and shorter throughput times along the entire value chain.

The new system is currently used to process battery system components for electric vehicles. This is an area with particularly high requirements in terms of precision and flexibility. The system processes components in three different sizes. The components, which are up to 1,800 mm long and weigh 26 kg, are coated with a KTL layer thickness of over 30 µm in order to meet even the strictest corrosion protection requirements. A special feature of the system is the partial laser paint stripping, which enables the already coated components to be selectively processed at defined points. This technology significantly increases the quality and precision of the end products. Thanks to the flexible customization options, the system can be easily adapted to new components and requirements. The Ebbinghaus Group is a leading supplier in the field of surface technology.
