EcoCFlex re-orientates heavier parts for cleaning

Dürr Ecoclean’s EcoCFlex, which employs flexible robotic technology for precision cleaning, can now accommodate parts like motors or cylinder blocks delivered by a conveyor belt by reorientating them 90° via a tilting station. This modifies the torque and leverage so the robot can flexibly handle weights of up to 300 kg. This innovation offers opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers of commercial vehicles that work with large scale components on a daily basis.
Robots are ideally suited to the cleaning of different industrial parts, especially those with complex geometric shapes. In contrast to transfer installations where the industrial parts lie on a transport system and are indexed from one treatment station to the next, the industrial parts in a robotic cleaning system are manipulated for optimal cleaning according to their geometry.
Technologically the system combines proven cleaning processes, most of which take place in the central multi-functional chamber. A spray system is installed for powerful injection flood washing (power IFW), targeted rinsing and optional high-pressure deburring. Additional equipment for further cleaning processes can be installed at any time. Depending on cleaning requirements, it is possible to mount additional treatment processes on the outside of the multifunctional chamber. General pre-drying of the industrial parts is accomplished by intense air drying. An optional vacuum drying system ensures 100% drying of all the parts.
