  The 60 station rotary coats parts from four programmable tree mounted gun assemblies as the parts are continuously rotated on spindles.  

  The robot pallet indexer coats parts as they are indexed under a Fanuc programmable robot.  All of the machines have preheat and cure tunnels, and capture system.

Complete turnkey installations are available.  Contact your SAM representative for further details.

The pre-heat tunnel is capable of delivering and maintaining temperatures in excess of 250 degrees “F” (121 C).

The process temperature is controlled by solid state components.

The cure tunnel is insulated and heated by an electric duct heater. Heated air is delivered directly to the sprayed parts.

The cure tunnel provides the heat necessary to “flash off” the sprayed components.

The “VOC’s” are captured and pulled into the capture system to feed directly to an oxidizer.

Cooling of the sprayed parts is achieved by blowing ambient or air conditioned air directly on the sprayed components.

The pre-heat tunnel is capable of delivering and maintaining temperatures in excess of 250 degrees F” (121 degrees “C”.

The process temperature is controlled by solid state components.

Parts to be sprayed enter the insulated pre-heat tunnel and they remain inside the tunnel for several indexes and dwells, bringing the component to be sprayed to process temperature.

An efficient electric duct heater is utilized to generate the heat and the hot air is blown directly on each component to be sprayed.

A broad range of process temperatures can be attained and controlled by “SCR” interface directly to an Allen Bradley 5/04 PLC.

Thermal couples mounted at various points provide accurate temperature data for precise control.

After the parts are sprayed, they enter the cure tunnel.  The cure tunnel is insulated and heated by an electric duct heater.  

Heated air is blown directly on sprayed parts.  The cure tunnel provides the heat necessary to “flash off” the sprayed components.  

The VOC’s are captured and pulled into the capture system to feed directly to the oxidizer.

Cooling of the sprayed parts is achieved by blowing ambient air directly on the sprayed components.

This cools the parts so that the operator can safely handle them.

Note: A commercial air conditioning unit can easily be added to cool the parts even further should it be necessary.

“S.A.M.” Quality You Can Count On

The “S.A.M.” equipment is designed and built to be used in a Class I, Group A through D; or Class II, Group E environment.

The machine is enclosed and insulated not only to protect the operators, but also to make the machine energy efficient.

The SAM Rotary Index Spray Machine is ideal for spraying round or tubular shaped parts.  Parts can be I.D. or O.D. sprayed or both at the same time.

Tooling can be designed to either hold an individual single part or if the part configuration allows, it can be stacked.  This stacking of identically shaped parts will increase production output.

The Allen Bradley RsView touch screen controls all aspects of the machine by simply entering a part number or a “recipe”.  The machine will automatically adjust to the requirements of a particular application.  This coupled with the quick change tooling facilitates quick changeovers and minimal downtime.

Custom made tooling can be designed and manufactured to accommodate most any customer’s needs or requirements.

Allen Bradley RsView – Operator interface – (touch screen)

The RsView is mounted on a swing arm that allows the operator accessibility at either the load/unload station or at the rear of the machine for set-up in the spray booth.  

  The RsView touch screen controls all aspects of the machine by simply entering a part number or a “recipe.” The machine will automatically adjust to the requirements of a particular application.

The RsView controls temperature of the pre-heat tunnel, cure tunnel, spindle speeds, index and dwell times of the dial, gun settings, etc.

The RsView interface is capable of storing a multitude of recipes. Each recipe is specific to the part that is to be processed.

By simply entering the pre-programmed, stored recipe, the change-over and production requirements are quick and simple to accomplish and maintain.

The “Ac” inverted variable frequency drive package controls the broad range of spindle rotation speeds.  The SAM is capable of a wide range of spindle r.p.m. speeds; this range on our standard equipment is 7r.p.m. to 90 r.p.m.

Not only can the spindle r.p.m. be controlled, the main indexer can be either increased or decreased to suit the particular component requirements.

Note: This spindle speed can easily be altered to suit any particular customer requirements if different from our standard system.

The spray booth at the rear of the machine is constructed from 304 stainless steel, fully welded to form an enclosure that can withstand the demanding requirements of solvent based sprays as well as water based sprays.

The spray booth also incorporates air impingers (diverters) that turn the air several times to eliminate heavy particulates prior to entering the filter media. Directly behind the impingers is the filter media. The filter area is approximately 1,200 sq. in. The impingers are easily accessible for removal for cleaning and access to the filter media.

The spray booth area is only accessible through the heavily constructed dual doors. The booth doors have tempered glass for viewing the spray cycle. The doors have a cam style door lock mechanism that secures both doors in the closed position.

The machine will purge itself until the “VOC” laten air reaches safe levels. Only then will it allow entry into the enclosed spray booth.

“S.A.M.” Quality You Can Count On

The “S.A.M.” equipment is designed and built to be used in a Class I, Group A through D; or Class II, Group E environment.

The machine is enclosed and insulated not only to protect the operators, but also to make the machine energy efficient.

The SAM robot pallet indexing spray machine is designed for spraying a multitude of parts positioned on a single flat pallet. The pallet is manually loaded and automatically transferred from station to station within the confines of the machine. The pallet is transferred from a pre-heat zone into an enclosed robot spray booth. Once the items are sprayed, the pallet is transferred into a cure and cooling zone. Upon curing and cooling, the pallet is escaped to the operator unload station.

The pallets are designed to facilitate quick changeover by simply replacing the part masks. This quick change tooling coupled with RsView interface minimizes downtime for part changeover.

Custom made part masks can be designed and manufactured to accommodate most any customer’s needs or requirements.

The part mask can be designed to either hold an individual single part or if the part configuration allows, multiple parts. This method of arranging similar shaped parts will also increase production output.

Touch Screen Control

Allen Bradley RsView – Operator interface – (touch screen)

The RsView is mounted at the rear of the machine in close proximity to the spray booth. This facilitates spray set-up in the spray booth.

The RsView touch screen controls all aspects of the machine by simply entering a part number or a “recipe.” The machine will automatically adjust to the requirements of a particular application.

The RsView controls the temperature of the pre-heat tunnel, cure tunnel, index and dwell times of the pallet, gun settings, etc.

Recipe Programmable

The RsView interface is capable of storing a multitude of recipes. Each recipe is specific to the part that is to be processed.

By simply entering the pre-programmed, stored recipe, the change over and production requirements are quick and simple to accomplish and maintain.

Pneumatic Transfer

The pallets are automatically transferred by pneumatic actuated components.

Once the pallet is placed at the load station, all operational sequences are automatic throughout the entire machine.

The pallet transfer is designed to provide a smooth transition from one station to the next.

Please note: as an option, the pneumatic transfer can be replaced with electrically actuated components. This option should only be considered if the application material process contains “NO” explosive or ignitable compounds.

Stainless Steel Booth

The spray booth at the rear of the machine is constructed from 304 stainless steel, fully welded to form an enclosure that can withstand the demanding requirements of solvent based sprays as well as water based sprays.

The spray booth also incorporates air impingers (diverters) that turn the air several times to eliminate heavy particulates prior to entering the filter media. Directly behind the impingers is the filter media. The filter area is approximately 720 sq. in.

This surface area can be increased if a pleated style filter is used.

Spray Booth Doors

The spray booth area is only accessible through the heavily constructed dual doors. The booth doors have tempered glass for viewing the spray cycle. The doors have a cam style door lock mechanism that secures both of the doors in the closed position.

Access to the spray booth is only attainable after the machine purges itself and the “VOC” laten air reaches safe levels; only then will it allow entry into the enclosed spray booth.

Electrical safety switches are also utilized should the pneumatic safety locks be overridden and the doors opened.

Activation of the electrical safety interlocks will cause the machine to immediately shut down.

Our patent pending air capture system provides a means to capture and contain VOC’s generated in the spraying and flashing off of materials being applied.

Through ductwork, dampers, filters, and blowers, the collecting and discharging of VOC’s is efficiently accomplished.

The VOC’s are in turn delivered to an oxidizer unit that destroys them to comply with EPA regulations.

The capture system is of a “Cascade” design. This simply means that the “VOC’s” generated through out the process is gathered from the least of the generated “VOC’s” to and through the more concentrated levels.

The capture system finally evacuates the “VOC”s” through duct work, filters and blowers to an oxidizer.

A magnehelic gage, transmitter, and a photohelic pressure switch/gage monitor the airflow through the filters and the discharge airflow to the thermal oxidizer.

These instruments have set points established to warn the operator of problems such as poor airflow and/or filter flow. The instrumentation is interfaced to the Allen Bradley PLC.

When the air flow drops below a certain set point and the problem is not addressed, the machine will automatically shut down. This instrumentation can also be provided to initiate visual warning lights and/or audible alarms.

Fanuc Paint Robot

To provide consistent repeatability, a Fanuc (6) axis robot is utilized.

Once the spray pattern is determined and stored, it is directly tied to the main “recipe” and accessed from the Allen-Bradley RsView touch screen.

The Robot is a Fanuc 6-Axis Robot with an air purge bag**for use in hazardous environments with an RJ3 controller.

** The purge bag has been replaced with a self-purged style robot.

Safety is Key

Several safeguards are an integral part of any of the SAM equipment.

Directly in front of the operator load/unload station is an “E” stop pull cable that is accessible from three (3) sides.

Safety interlocks at the rear in the spray booth provide an efficient means of ensuring that the spray booth remains closed during operation. This safety interlock is pneumatically actuated and remains engaged for a period of time while the machine purges to safe levels.

Electrical switches are also mounted at the rear on the spray booth doors. Should the door interlocks be manually overridden, activation of the switches by opening the doors will immediately shut the machine down.
