ABB Robobell 625 Unique Atomizer Technology

The Atomizer for Today’s Robotics Application

The Robobell Internal Charge is a high efficiency rotary

atomizer designed for today’s robotic production.  Its in

tended application is coating complex surfaces with sol

vent borne paint.  Its range of application goes from exte

rior car body to complex car bumper painting. This is an

internal charge atomizer; the high voltage charge is applied

to the paint on the bell cup before atomization.

Compact and Light Design

This atomizer was specifically designed to work with a ro

bot. At only 5.1 kilograms (11 pounds) it can be fitted to

practically any robot. The atomizer body diameter is 85

mm (3.375 inches). The atomizer head has a 60 degrees

bend.  The very slim and compact shape of the atomizer

allows easy access in hard to paint areas, such as door jams

or engine compartment.

Metabell, Metallic Effect With High TE

The Metabell function combines the high TE (Transfer

Efficiency) of a rotary atomizer with the metallic effect of

a conventional spray gun.  This new unique feature allows

for second coat base coat solvent borne application of me

tallic paint. It also opens the door to an innovative single

coat base coat concept. Achieving the high quality metal

lic finishing is accomplished by controlling the particle

colliding energy.  Shaping air ring, bell cup and application

parameters are the cornerstones of the Metabell application.

Robot - Atomizer, Process Partners

Combining high performance atomizers with high per

formance robots makes for an impressive production tool.

The high performance of the robot opens the door to new

paint methods. The atomizer can move around on the

body surface without any escaping point, the robot can

keep or increase the speed when changing direction. The

high performance atomizer will withstand the high accel

eration forces generated by the robot.
