Abstract:
A powder coating control system comprising a plurality of gun controls associated with a like plurality of powder spray guns. Each of the gun controls stores a plurality of presets spray parameters. Each of the gun controls responds to part identification signals and part position signals to select in real time one of the stored presets of spray parameters and trigger its respective powder spray gun ON and OFF to apply a powder coating to the moving part in accordance with the selected set of spray parameters. The control system further permits a gun purge cycle to be programmed either before or after the powder coating process is executed. The control system automatically initializes and brings each of the gun controls to an operable state on-line with the system control.
Abstract:
A system and related methods for configuring and monitoring a spraying application system for installation and use at a site that is remotely located from the spraying system manufacturing site. The system provides a remote access module that provides spraying system operation and parametric information to be monitored at the manufacturing site to determine how the spraying system is operating and whether repair or maintenance should be initiated. Timer circuits are provided for determining time of usage so that repair/replacement alerts can be issued. Safety related parameters may also be monitored as a backup to the primary monitoring performed at the customer's site. The system also provides an extranet or other suitable site available, for example, via the Internet or other communication link, is used to provide an accessible database for historical data and configuration/installation information. A call-in feature is also provided as well as a system query log.
Abstract:
Material application system provided with a wireless identification technology for parts being processed and for components of the material application system. An exemplary technology is RFID. The RFID device can be used for many different functions including part identification, repair and maintenance programs, and inventory control.

Abstract:
Operator interface provides identification of one or more operational functions, each at an operational location, to an operator via an access device. The access device may have a wireless connectivity with the operational functions, and presents menus that are specific to the identified function. The access device optionally provides data, control functions, recipes, menus and so on to the operator. In this manner, an operator can exercise local control of the operational functions at different operational locations, thereby reducing lost time and energy transferring between the operational locations.
