Closed body profile maintenance station control system

AMEplus is launching an innovative control system for the maintenance station for closed body profiles at the ŠKODA plant in Mlada Boleslav (CZ). In the process, the car bodies are first heated in a furnace, transported to the station, where liquid hot wax is applied through nozzles to the closed profiles. The excess material enters the collecting bin, from where it can be reused. After cooling, a thin protective layer of hardened wax remains on the car body. In 2019 a similar control system is implemented at VW Poznań plants.
