Dürr’s 19,000th robot to be delivered to BYD's first European plant

BYD Auto Company, a leading Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturer, is among the first Chinese car manufacturers to establish a factory in Europe. Dürr has supplied more than 120 painting and handling robots to the Hungary plant, offering environmentally friendly and efficient painting solutions for electric vehicles. The plant’s painting lines are equipped with Dürr's EcoRP series robots in both 6-axis and 7-axis models, automating interior and exterior painting in coordination with handling robots. The 7-axis robot also assists with opening the hoods, while the 6-axis robot efficiently paints the exterior of the vehicles.

BYD has adopted Dürr's EcoBell3 high-speed rotary atomiser to ensure flawless painting quality with uniform shade, flow, and layer thickness. In combination with advanced environmental and color-changing technology, the atomiser family enables fast color changes and reduces energy consumption. The integration of the standardised and modular EcoSupply P special paint system from Dürr will further increase efficiency. The piggable system returns paint residue to the container, leaving no residue. This significantly reduces both paint and solvent residue.

For BYD's various EV models, Dürr has customised flexible-action feather rollers cleaning robots to efficiently remove dust and dirt particles from complex body surfaces.
