A Tier 1 #automotive supplier was about to get an influx of business from another plant that used eight robots to coat jeep hard tops with high viscosity material at high flow rates. The Tier 1 Supplier needed to do the same, but only had space for four robots on its paint line. 🤖 Graco's ProMix PD set up their automated paint system to do the work of eight robots with only four.

😤 A decision to cut corners with cheap agitators in a leading #cabinetmaker's paint mix room backfired. Their material was so thick that each agitator air motor needed a push – kind of like an old car that won’t start without someone pushing it from behind. 🚗 That caused 10 to 15 minutes of downtime, agitating the paint technicians - until they tried a Graco radial piston agitator. Its air motor immediately moved the material and used 80 percent less air. Get the full story: https://lnkd.in/ggj-QEwc

“When we started the project, we wanted to make sure that we built a gun that painters would be happy using,” Wendy Hartley says in this interview with Tim Pennington of FinishingAndCoating.com. ⭐ See and hear how painter-centric design resulted in #Stellair ACE and Stellair™, the first #industrial air spray guns certified for ergonomic performance. ⭐
I spoke with Wendy Hartley from Graco about their new Stellair paint guns, which received Ergonomics Performance Certification from United States Ergonomics LLC in this video TechTalk at FinishingAndCoating.com that you can view at https://lnkd.in/gMKHDMwD . Wendy says they sent legacy guns to be tested by USE, which used sensors on test painters' arms, wrists, shoulders, and elbows to gain statistical insight into what was comfortable for an operator. “They also interacted with the operator and asked them where they felt pressure points on their hands and stress on their muscles and which applicators made them feel good and which ones didn't,” Wendy says. “The evaluation was the first step, and then the engineers took that information and built it into the spray guns." #finishingandcoating #finishing #coating #liquidcoating #surfacefinishing
