Innovative scanning technology automates vehicle coating process

2019-11-06

The paint finishing system for vehicle engines has been in service at the Daimler high volume engine plant in Mannheim, Germany, for one year. The system automatically cleans and paints new engine series and their sub-variants, supported by computerised scanning technology operating independently of any additional programming. As reprogramming and programme development of more than 10,000 different engine variants are no longer required, production downtime is significantly reduced.
