La exigencia de confort acústico y de vibraciones en los automóviles son cada vez mayores. Eso nos obliga a introducir materias cada vez más performantes para conseguir un buen grado de aislamiento. or otro lado, las exigencias medioambientales en emisiones de CO2 y COV, así como las necesidades de reducción de costes, obligan a los fabricantes de materias acústicas a estar continuamente evolucionando sus productos para satisfacer el mercado. Un ejemplo son los aislantes acústicos proyectados (LASD) acrílicos, nacidos para poder tener una reducción de peso (menos CO2 emitido y menos consumo) y además en base agua para reducir las emisiones de COV. En esta presentación explicamos nuestra experiencia en la introducción de estas materias en nuestras plantas de VIGO y ZARAGOZA.

Growing model diversity, different drive technologies and greater personalization are pushing conventional line production in the automotive industry to its limits. Whether large volume manufacturers or small e-car start-ups, manufacturing must make the shift from rigid to flexible in order to respond more quickly to customer and market requirements. Dürr's new "paint shop of the future" concept breaks away from the traditional line layout and for the first time divides industrial automotive painting into boxes or short process sections. This gives the automotive industry a new level of flexibility in its processes and investments. In addition, the "paint shop of the future" saves time and material, increases availability and makes painting more sustainable.

Digital twins simulate coating thicknesses directly in the paint booth, Uniform coating thicknesses are an important quality factor in industrial automotive painting. Until now, perfect painting results were only achieved after several trials. With the newly developed software, Dürr has now created a way to virtually calculate coating thicknesses and enormously reduce the number of real tests. The new software is integrated into the existing programming software of Dürr's application robots. It is now possible to reduce the number of test coatings and test bodies by more than 50%. This makes commissioning more efficient, reduces material costs and results in fewer poorly coated car bodies. The first beta versions are already in use.

On the path towards autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems providing both comfort and safety functions experience increasing take-rates not only in premium vehicles. Those devices will not only work as alert systems, but also “piloting”, i.t. being able to automatically take actions without the driver’s attention (e.g. brake the car after detecting an obstacle). All those features depend on several surrounding sensors. Among others, Radar and Lidar sensors play significant roles here. Coatings can have some impact on the functionality of those sensoric systems but can be optimized in that regard.
