Machine and plant manufacturer Dürr has expanded its training centre by adding a sealing robot cell. Since May, customers have been receiving hands-on training in the latest sealing technology under real conditions at the company’s headquarters in Bietigheim-Bissingen.
Well-trained personnel are essential to ensuring high product quality and long-term system availability. That is why Dürr offers targeted training programs tailored to different user groups, delivered under production-oriented conditions in the field of paint and thick-film application.
In spring 2025, the company expanded its training centre in Bietigheim-Bissingen with a sealing robot cell equipped with EcoRail HS and two latest-generation robots: the EcoRS N20i and EcoRS L15i. These are complemented by EcoShot Meter and EcoGun2 3D dosing and application technology.
The EcoTemp PT temperature control system is also included, bringing the highly viscous sealing material to the required processing temperature.
Dr José Gamero, head of the training centre at Dürr, summarises the advantages: “The expansion allows us to offer ideal training for our customers using the latest Dürr sealing technology. We offer courses on mechanical and electrical maintenance of the technology, including assemblies and control systems.”
Furthermore, robot programming and plant operator training for sealing can be provided at this new training cell.
Courses under real conditions
Thanks to the expansion, participants can now gain practical experience operating the new EcoRS robot generation under real-world conditions. The additional robot cell gives the training centre greater flexibility to meet customer requests and accommodate more simultaneous courses.
In 2024, around 1,000 participants received training in various technical disciplines in Bietigheim. In addition, approximately 100 training courses were conducted on-site at customer locations.
