Wagner: New manual powder coating system for manual powder coating
The new Sprint 2 Expert manual powder coating system from Wagner offers unique additional functions for manual powder coating. These include assistance functions such as the Wagner Wizard and DSO (Digital Surface Optimizer) as well as options for process documentation.
In spring 2024, Wagner launched the Sprint 2 manual system - a new generation of manual powder coating systems with innovative components and assistance functions. The Sprint 2 Expert now completes the product family. Compared to the Sprint 2 with its classic range of functions, the new variant offers additional intelligent features for even greater convenience during manual coating. All relevant parameters for the coating job are set via the Wacon Sprint 2 Expert control unit with 7-inch touchscreen. The intuitive menu navigation also offers recipe management, error history, operating hours and maintenance counters as well as user management. The highlight of the control system is the Wagner Wizard: with the intelligent coating wizard, even inexperienced users can find the right recipe for every coating job. In 5 simple steps, you select the workpiece geometry, size, coating structure, desired coating thickness and type of powder, and the wizard uses these parameters to determine the ideal recipe. So that you can get started straight away, it also provides recommendations for suitable accessories (e.g. nozzle type, nozzle extension) and the required gun distance. With the DSO (Digital Surface Optimizer) assistance function - which is also integrated in the Sprint 2 - overloading effects such as orange peel or edge build-up can be reduced at the touch of a button. This advantage is particularly relevant for decorative coatings on complex components or with demanding powder coatings.
New injector for Wagner Sprint 2 Expert
Just like the Sprint 2, the Sprint 2 Expert also has the new Quick-Link injector. Optimized nozzle geometries reduce the air requirement and hose diameter needed, resulting in a significantly softer powder cloud at a lower speed. This results in a wide range of applications - from fine, decorative coatings on small parts to corrosion protection for large components. The injector also speeds up the cleaning and color change process: all powder and air hoses can be detached in one easy step using the quick-release fastener. The integrated scraper ring in the swivel arm scrapes the powder off the outside of the lance. For even faster color changes - in less than 30 seconds - a special cleaning set with automated internal cleaning of the suction lance is available as an option for the Sprint 2 Expert. A powder scale under the base plate is used for precise monitoring of powder consumption. This shows the weight in the powder box and automatically sets measuring points, which are documented in a logbook with the active user, selected recipe and coating period. This allows relevant coating data to be bundled and evaluated.
Two versions of the Sprint 2 Expert available
The head module of the Sprint 2 Expert offers dust-protected storage areas and hanging options for tools and accessories and provides space for the installation of a second control unit. The manual system can be quickly upgraded to a double system with two guns. Both the Sprint 2 and the Sprint 2 Expert are available in two versions - for powder feeding directly from the original box (Sprint 2 Expert B) or a 60-liter container (Sprint 2 Expert H). Conversions between the two variants are possible. The mobile cup gun case set (Sprint 2 Expert CG) is suitable for individual parts and small quantities as well as for laboratory and development purposes. It is easy to set up anywhere and can be operated directly from the case. The 3-liter table set (Sprint 2 Expert T) includes a compact vibrating table with a 3-liter fluid container attachment, a hi-coat injector and 9 mm hose in addition to the control unit and manual gun. Extremely fine coatings are achieved with this setup.
