IRB 5500 FlexPainter
The IRB 5500 FlexPainter gets painting closer to perfect by weaving paint application gear right into the robot. Add a massive work area, blazing acceleration, and top speeds, and you have the most efficient, adaptable paint robot for automotive and industrial work. It comes in variants like 5500-22 (13 kg wrist payload), 5500-25 (rail mounting), and 5500-27 (7 axes), slashing paint and solvent waste while making multi-color painting quick with barely any changeover time.
