DEKRA tests and certifies world's largest Laser Coating Removal robot for LR Systems
Robot will deploy 20kW laser to remove paint from any size commercial and military aircraft
Leading expert organization DEKRA will test and certify the world’s largest innovative Laser Coating Removal (LCR) robot for LR Systems BV. The robot, developed by LR Systems, will deploy a 20kW laser to remove paint from any size commercial and military aircraft with the greatest precision. In addition, the robot allows a faster and cleaner removal process than contemporary methods and contributes to a significantly reduced aircraft ground time. Paul van IJsselstein, CEO of LR Systems B.V.: “I am delighted that DEKRA will support our global LCR team and I am confident that the development and roll-out of the first system will benefit from DEKRA’s specific knowhow and expertise. With DEKRA’s expertise, we can further strengthen our global robotic solutions for the maintenance industry”.
DEKRA will be involved in the entire testing and certification process, from the evaluation of the safety concept, the testing of components, and Factory Acceptance Testing on location to the installation of the first LCR Robot. Bert Zoetbrood, globally responsible for the Product Testing & Certification division and CEO of DEKRA in the Netherlands: “Next to our commitment to safety, we are further intensifying our focus on innovative and high tech segments with services such as EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility), cybersecurity, functional safety testing, electrical safety, and international market access. Our involvement in supporting LR Systems in the development and deployment phases of the LCR robot ties in seamlessly with our ambitions. We provide integrated services globally for innovative products every step of the development process until the new product reaches its market.”
