CAT 35 ILDS (Integrated Liquid Delivery System) dual-mode spray head is an alternative to conventional air-atomizing, film coating and dispensing technologies.
Consists of an ultrasonic transducer with a titanium spray forming head and integrated liquid and air applicators. Has two modes: narrow (5 mm pattern width) and wide (3 to 25 mm pattern width). Applies a thin, defect-free coating 0.5 to 5 mils in thickness, said to provide excellent uniformity.
Nozzle-free spray head works with urethanes, acrylics, water-based, solvent-based and 100% solids UV curable conformal coatings and is compatible with all Prism Systems.
New software for In-Sight vision sensors reportedly improves workflow, eases integration and speeds deployment of vision sensors on the factory floor:
In-Sight Explorer 3.1 features a Windows XP look and feel, and supports the use of industry-standard OPC communication tags. In-Sight OPC Server makes it easy to exchange data with other OPC programs and systems including PLCs, distributed control systems (DCS) and distributed I/O networks. In-Sight ActiveX Display Control allows users to integrate In-Sight images and display graphics into third-party HMI and SCADA packages.
