Automation solutions for cavity preservation
The essentials against corrosion
Drainage channels, sills or door interiors – all cavities where water accumulates and rust develops on the vehicle. Therefore, a good cavity preservation is recommended in advance. Especially where space is at a premium and hard-to-reach geometries are used, atomization technology is an innovative solution.
Spraying
The IPR spraying process covers the complete range of services for the application of protective wax layers on a sprayable body. Regardless of how cavity preservation is carried out – manually, robot-controlled or stationary. The targeted application of the material with various spray nozzles meets all customer requirements for flexibility and ease of maintenance. Due to IPR’s in-house development and production of nozzles, we are able to achieve the highest quality of nozzle cavities and geometries. All components are characterized by extraordinary precision and reliability in continuous operation and deliver a perfect coating result.

Fogging
With the fogging process, IPR has developed an innovative atomization technology for corrosion protection of the entire bodywork. Especially complex and difficult to reach geometries, such as door panels, can be perfectly protected with this new process. The specific droplet size, velocity and distribution also allows surfaces that are facing away from the fog stream – e.g. undercuts – to be coated.
- Small footprint
- High level of flexibility
- Low consumption
- Cold application
- High efficiency
Air-mix / Air-less
In the Air-Mix / Air-Less process, the protective wax layer is applied to attachments, doors and flaps by means of a special robot. The combined Air-Mix / Air-Less application head achieves targeted narrow coverage of welding and soldering seams as well as targeted flat coverage of welding spots, forgings and screw connections. This is accomplished in one application, avoiding the need to change nozzles or tools.
- Specific material application
- Seam and surface coating in one process
- High precision wax application
- Cold waxing
- Material savings
