The Deutsche Waggonbau AG is one of  
the leading manufacturers of rail vehicles.  
The works in Görlitz are building, among  
other things, waggons for the IC-trains of  
the Deutsche Bundesbahn.  

A variety of component parts at most different  
sizes and variable piece numbers: a highly  
demanding coating problem mainly with respect  
to the flexibility and economic changeover.  

           
 

The solution: a modular and extremely variable
painting concept that allows to be adapted to
every specific feature of permanently changing
parts in an individual way. For the pretreatment,
a sophisticated analysis technique defines the level
of contamination for all parts and then independently adjusts the dosage for the necessary portion of
chemicals.

Each workpiece holder is coded and then processed
as required according to the individual parameters.

The plant allows to use water- and solvent-based
paints and this involves an all-purpose design for the
spray booths and the baking equipment. Incorporated
paint-sludge removal units evacuate both, the depositing
and the floating paint sludge, so they are a very important
contribution to the environmental protection.
