ABB Robotics Atomizer upgrade saves 30% paint consumption for Toyota's Hino Motors in Japan
1/8/2015
2015-01-07 - Faced with paint gun systems with a low transfer efficiency due to high flow rate spraying with high speed velocity, Toyota's Hino Motors turned to ABB Robotics' Japanese Customer Service Team to install brand new Atomizer systems for better transfer efficiency and less overspray.
West of Tokyo, in the city of Hamura, we find one of Hino Motors' four Japanese manufacturing plants. The history of Hino Motors harkens back to 1910 and today the company is a subsidiary of the Toyota Motor Corporation. With a revenue of ?1,314,588 million (2012), Hino Motors manufactures and exports heavy-duty trucks, buses and Toyota branded vehicles.
The Hamura plant's daily output is 550 Toyota SUVs (Land Cruiser Prado and FJ Cruiser), and 150 Toyota trucks (Dyna and Toyoace). ABB Robotics products involved in Hino Motors' SUV paint line include two IRB 5400-12 robots, 37 Atomizers (ROBOBEL031-PC, ROBOBEL951 and TR bell), paint circuit equipment, and gear pumps. The ABB robots are used at one of the primer lines and the Atomizers are used at the primer-, base- and clear coat lines.
In August, ABB Robotics was awarded the order, involving the replacement of Hino Motors' old paint guns with ABB Robotics' Atomizer ROBOBEL031-PC, plus service and spare parts. The factory's transition from using solvent borne primer paint to more environmentally friendly water borne primer paint was one of the main contributing factors for the upgrade.
The replacement was conducted during the summer shut down period to limit production impact. A total of 15 man days were spent, including installation, commissioning and standby after start of production.
One of the challenges faced by ABB Robotics' Japanese Customer Service Team was to spray water born conductive primer with a non-electrostatic rotary ABB Atomizer. Therefore tests were performed at the Atomizer Supply Unit (ASU) in Shimada Technical Center, Japan, prior to installation to ensure everything worked as promised. While the water born conductive primer consisted of "fast dry" material, adjustments needed to be made to the external Atomizer cleaning unit to allow for optimal application.
"The optimization of the cleaning unit and the robot program now enables the Atomizers to run for eight consecutive hours without manual cleaning," says Mitsuyoshi Taniguchi, Sales & Marketing Group, ABB Robotics Japan.
Prior to this upgrade, Hino Motors had experienced a low transfer efficiency with their paint guns due to the high flow rate spraying with high speed velocity. ABB Robotics' atomizer ROBOBEL031-PC offers better transfer efficiency and less overspray. Now having done the replacement, Hino Motors is able to save 30% in paint consumption.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
