Abstract
ABB´s new, enhanced high-flow atomiser series, the FlexPainter IRB 5500, together with StayOn and NoPatch, offers reduced equipment costs by moving from the historical nine bell gate and four robot paint cell to a two-robot high performance paint cell. The smaller robotic painting booth footprint and the significantly reduced amount of air handled in the ventilation systems also have less impact on the environment. So, it´s a win/win situation and proves that, in this case at least, ´less is more´.
