EcoNextJet Enables Direct Spraying of Custom Body Patterns

Zhuanshu World learned that Dürr has launched a newEcoNextJetSpray application system that can directly spray complex graphics, patterns, and text onto the vehicle surface, achieving high-resolution presentation. It can accurately perform operations on both horizontal and vertical surfaces and supports on-demand two-color spraying. This new spray application system developed by Dürr can seamlessly integrate personalized custom designs into the painting process, replacing time-consuming and labor-intensive traditional film application and manual work through automated operations, effectively optimizing production resources and improving efficiency.

Currently, the trend toward vehicle personalization remains strong. In the past, applying personalized patterns or text to vehicle bodies primarily relied on manual film application techniques.——These films are often made of multiple layers of materials, which not only make recycling difficult, but also leave noticeable edges and have limited adhesion. Duur has launchedEcoNextJetThe system transforms this highly manual-dependent step into a repeatable, standardized batch production process.

Regardless of the body contour or position, the system can accurately coat high-quality patterns on almost any position on the vehicle surface. After coating with clear paint, the pattern seamlessly integrates with the vehicle surface, feeling perfectly consistent.”

High-Resolution Spraying Effect Based on On-Demand Drop-on-Demand Technology

EcoNextJetThe core of the system is an innovative on-demand drip mechanism.Drop-on-Demand) technology. The printhead integrated into the painting robot2000An independent controllable nozzle can precisely spray paint according to demand, with each pixel capable of spraying up to six drops of paint. The paint droplets naturally merge during the spraying process, forming larger droplets that then accurately adhere to the surface of the vehicle.

With high-precision control over the amount of paint and the spray speed,EcoNextJetThe system can spray pixel by pixel, forming a paint film thickness of about5ultra-thin patterns in micrometers, with resolution as high as720 dpiMoreover, this print head features a dual-channel design, enabling simultaneous spraying of two colors. Leveraging Dürr’s proprietary dedicated software, the system not only precisely controls the robot’s motion trajectory but also accurately calculates the impact point of each paint droplet, ensuring outstanding spray performance on vehicle body curves or vertical surfaces.

What is crucial is,EcoNextJetThe system uses the same coating on all body surfaces, simplifying the process and ensuring uniform finish and stable quality.。

Three-party cooperation, jointly forging innovation

EcoNextJetThe successful development is the result of close collaboration among the three parties: Duol was responsible for the painting process integration, robots, and related software development; the paint manufacturer Axalta will...Axalta) responsible for developing compatible inks; printhead manufacturer Xaar (XAAR) provides the core printhead components.
