This application is a coating system for aircraft parts. In this particular case, the aircraft wings. The system can travel over a length of 59 metres and a width of 22.3 metres. In addition to the 3D triflex® R chain, a circular trough module was also installed on axis 2 of the robot, which allows 360° rotation.

In an application for coating parts, particular care must be taken to ensure that no parts come into contact with the workpiece to be coated. Therefore, the solution with a loose chain on the robot was not an option from the outset. A solution that was close to the robot and offered maximum movement for axis 3-6 was required.
Overhead work requires a retraction system
Coating applications require a compact design
Solution
By installing the retraction system(TR.RSE.70) together with the TRC (undefined) e-chain®, it was possible to guide all cables safely and, above all, close to the robot. The Fanuc P-350 retains its complete manoeuvrability, which is further increased by the circular movement mounted on axis 2.
