Available from Cefla, the Prima one-arm reciprocating spray machine is equipped with a quick-change rotary valve that allows for fast color changes, small batches, with little to no downtime. The pressurization feature further improves the machine’s performance and allows shops of any size to set themselves up for future growth, Cefla adds. As production levels increase, the machine can be set in line with other sequential technologies, such as drying.

Available from Aqua Coat, Aqua Thane NMP-free topcoat is an acrylic urethane blend to get better mar resistance and moisture protection of the richest looking wood. The NMP-free formula is intended for clear or lightly pigmented coatings where flexibility and a high degree of hardness are required.

Available from Biesse on all Viet sanders, ARS (Auto Return System) enables the machine to detect when a component has exited, opens so the part can be freely transported back without interference, returns the part to the infeed, and automatically closes to the original thickness for the next pass. One operator can handle large dimension/heavy components, eliminating manual labor costs, minimizing plant floor space requirements, and lowering the risk of personal injury, Biesse adds.

Aqua Coat Clear Lacquer is a water-based, premium-grade, non-yellowing clear acrylic topcoat created to replace solvent-based lacquers.

The unique drying system generates an intense but controlled amount of infrared energy, which when combined with air movement allows for efficient and clean drying, the company adds.

MB Maschinenbau says the ROBA Fentech moulding sander is ideal for batch one windows and mouldings. The laser-based part recognition at the machine inlet allows all sanding units to move into the required position, while a newly developed vacuum transport system holds short parts securely and four double brush units process the workpieces on all sides. Using the part return option, profiles can be processed by just one person.
