A new way of exterior painting

The IRB 5500 FlexPainter takes painting closer to perfection by integrating the paint application equipment. Combined with its large work area and high acceleration and painting speed, the result is the most efficient and flexible paint robot solution for basically any application.

 

Our compact and light-weight paint application components enable us to put vital paint regulation equipment, like the pumps, as close as 15 cm from the wrist. This reduces paint and solvent waste during color change significantly.

 

We have integrated the process equipment in the IRB 5500 FlexPainter in addition to the fully integrated process control (hardware and software). The IRC5P is controlling both the paint process and the robot motion so you can enjoy substantial savings.

Key benefits

Built for painting

Standard solutions accommodate color change valves for up to 32* colors with circulation, integrated in the process arm of the robot. Solutions for both solvent- and water-borne paint are available.

Compact and light-weight

Our compact and light-weight paint application components enable us to put vital paint regulation equipment, like the pumps, as close as 15 cm from the wrist. This reduces paint and solvent waste during color change significantly.

High acceleration and speed

ABB’s high flow RB1000 atomizer family is specifically designed for the high acceleration and speed of the IRB 5500 FlexPainter. This unique combination significantly reduces the number of robots needed in a spray booth.
