PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT<br />
automatic removal and loading of<br />
the rack trolleys. The spray-painting<br />
machine and its upstream and<br />
downstream machines thus enable<br />
almost unmanned, individual coating<br />
of quality. The installation of the<br />
ROBUSeco also opens up an additional<br />
business segment for Bantli. The<br />
carpentry business can now offer<br />
cost-efficient contract work in the<br />
coating field to fellow carpenters.<br />
This complements the cooperation<br />
with colleagues in the field of parts<br />
production.<br />
VERSATILE EXPANSION OPTIONS<br />
Robert Buerkle entered the spray<br />
coating segment with its first<br />
machines in 2017. The company from<br />
Freudenstadt, Germany, has realised a<br />
number of projects to date, ranging from<br />
stand-alone machines to automated<br />
batch-size-one lines. With the flexibility<br />
of the ROBUSeco spray coating concept,<br />
workpiece materials and their geometry<br />
are of little importance; a customised<br />
edge spray gun, for example, was<br />
developed for the Bantli application.<br />
High edges, which regularly occur when<br />
coating doors, can thus be coated in<br />
ideal quality.<br />

With the combination of automated<br />
surface finishing and the traditional<br />
manual spraying station, Bantli now<br />
sees itself well positioned for the near<br />
future in this area. “Since we started<br />
producing with the ROBUSeco, we keep<br />
discovering more possible applications<br />
that we had not even thought of<br />
before. Buerkle proves to be a partner<br />
who is always prepared to make<br />
appropriate adjustments, extensions or<br />
conversions,” Bantli stated.<br />
In his experience, even the software<br />
adaptations that usually become<br />
necessary for the quite complex plant<br />
are in good hands with the Buerkle<br />
specialists. “So far, they have found a<br />
solution for every requirement,” Bantli<br />
concluded. P<br />
