Formulators should use technology to track down the rheological sweet spot for their products and see the lab as a source of knowledge and collaboration. The resulting data will set research projects off on the right path and deliver huge savings for R&D, the company, the customer and maybe even the planet.
This enhanced robotic system can paint and apply custom design elements to extremely complex body surfaces such as vertical or A and C pillars, fully automatically and without masking.
A main theme at the ACS was sustainability and the circular economy. This article provides a snapshot of just some of the technology that PCI learned about.
Part 2 of this article tackles four more issues you may be facing when controlling coating temperature with electric heaters in your fluid dispensing system.
A producer of architectural wood trim gained visibility into paint consumption at its facility by installing a cloud-based flow measurement and control system that provides accurate and real-time data on paint usage, flow rates, density and other parameters from a computer or smart device.
By keeping all the components of your UV curing system clean, cool and maintained, you can expect uniform and consistent cures, fewer issues, reduced scrap and happy customers.
New online measuring technology can detect nearly any change in liquid properties straight from the process in real-time. The novel technology has the potential to revolutionize liquid quality control, since it enables continuous process monitoring and is universally suitable for all fluids, from thin to thick.
The precision and control of new equipment extends the use of parylene by meeting tighter tolerances, thinner film depositions and higher quality standards.
