Inside An Automatic Reciprocating Paint Spraying Machine

Ventilation, structure, gun oscillating group, spraying group and operator panel: the five systems that make an automatic sprayer repeatable.

Ventilation System

Clean intake air is guaranteed by a filter set mounted on the oscillating unit. A second filter sits after the oscillating group, which leaves the spraying zone completely free of any mechanical part. Forced airflow collects the overspray in the spraying cabin, and the overspray is then collected by a set of double filters that detain the paint particles.

Structure

The machine uses a single steel frame, which guarantees stability and the absence of vibration while the oscillating group is working. Two wide windows allow the operator to supervise the whole spraying area without opening the booth.

Gun Oscillating Group

Gun oscillation happens through a central arm connected to a trolley. The trolley slides along pads with recirculating bearings on lateral guide rails, driven by a timing belt controlled by an inverter. The trolley moves one gun holder arm located in the middle of the spraying chamber. Because the oscillating mechanism is separated from the spraying zone, there is no turbulence in the spraying zone during the oscillating phase, which is what gives a clean result on the piece. Keeping the mechanism out of contact with the spray also extends its life and reduces maintenance.

Spraying Group

Up to four guns can be assembled on the central oscillating arm. The gun unit is fixed with a quick disconnection device, so a gun unit can be replaced without stripping the arm.

Operator Panel

The machine is managed entirely by a PLC system, which controls all the spraying parameters that optimise paint consumption, the working recipes, and the diagnostic functions. Recipes are the part that matters for a plant running mixed work: a job can be recalled rather than set up again from memory.

Questions On This Topic

How many guns can be fitted?

Up to four on the central oscillating arm, each with a quick disconnection device.

Why is the oscillating mechanism separated from the spray zone?

It prevents turbulence in the spraying zone during oscillation, which gives a better finish, and it keeps the mechanism out of the paint so it lasts longer and needs less maintenance.

What does the PLC control?

All spraying parameters that optimise paint consumption, the working recipes, and the diagnostic functions.
