New Wagner Automatic Gun Generation for Powder Coating
The new automatic powder guns from Wagner stand for the highest coating results with maximum application efficiency in coating systems (PEA-X1) as well as robot-based production environments (PER-X1) and offer several advantages compared to the previous model.
With its modular design and variety of accessories, the new Wagner automatic powder coating gun family enables a very wide field of applications for all conceivable customer requirements. Thanks to their flexibility, the guns ideally meet the high demands of today's production processes. For example, the basic gun of the PEA-X1 can be combined with a short holder, XL extension or robot adapters. The PER-X1, in turn, can be combined with various robot mounts for single or dual use. Depending on the application, various nozzles are available that are also compatible with the PEM-X1 hand gun that is part of the product family. The new angle nozzles, for example, can be used to reach difficult spots on the workpiece. With the angle adapter, this advantage can be extended even further. Even with difficult metallic and effect powders, a high coating quality can be achieved with the new guns.
The powder coating guns are ideal for both single-color and color change systems. For this purpose, they have been optimized, as has the nozzle system, in terms of their color change and cleaning capability. The optimized, streamlined design of the CoronaStar provides minimum attack surfaces for powder accumulation on the gun body and ensures efficient, automatic blow-off during color change. The guns thus provide a more stable production process without waste. The improved powder cloud results in thinner, more uniform coating thicknesses. As a result, powder consumption is also significantly lower. In addition, powder buildup in the nozzle or spitting occurs less frequently - thanks to the improved internal geometry. Already installed systems with the previous Wagner automatic guns can easily be retrofitted with the new guns. Installation and maintenance is very simple, which reduces service costs. The highly integrative design has enabled the new gun family to be a compact and extremely powerful product that adapts smoothly to the clean world of modern automation landscapes. The modern design is also impressive: the PEA-X1 and PER-X1 guns received the Red Dot Award in the Product Design category in April 2023.
