You coat a sample panel with exactly the same control technology as in production, but you only need a handful of powder and a square metre of bench space.

The path from powder to nozzle is therefore short, which has two practical consequences: almost no material is left in the system after purging, and a colour change essentially means swapping the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cups use an easy-lock design and come off without tools. The 500 ml cup is supplied as standard, the 1000 ml cup is available as an option.

They are intended as an order of magnitude, not a guarantee. For a series of A4-sized sample panels the 500 ml cup is normally more than sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advantage of small quantities shows up in the cost per trial. Testing a special colour does not require putting a kilogram into the system, only for it to sit in the cup afterwards or end up as waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRepeatability is the real purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sample part only means something if it can be reproduced under the same conditions. That is precisely what the Master control unit is built for, and it is the same unit fitted to the floor-standing machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou create a dedicated recipe for each test procedure, with 50 memory slots available in total. Voltage, current, total air and powder ratio are therefore documented and can be recalled at any time. If a customer asks six months later why the repeat order looks different from the approved sample, you can call up the parameters of the original and run the comparison under identical conditions. Without stored recipes, that question cannot be answered properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor assessing thin films and sensitive colours, the control unit automatically works in fine-control mode below 10 µA, regulating the powder charge more tightly. We describe how this works in detail in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electron-powder-coating-equipment\"\u003ecategory overview of Electron equipment\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSetup and footprint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit ships with a mounting kit for bench-top use. Control unit, gun holder, injector and cup sit on a shared console that you place on a workbench or a trolley. At 37 × 57 × 34 cm and 13 kg the assembly stays portable, which helps for demonstrations at a customer's site or when moving between lab and workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt connects to an ordinary socket (100 to 240 V) and to treated compressed air at 5.5 to 7.0 bar. The pneumatic hoses and fittings are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe electron handgun in laboratory use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E-GUN+3 C1 weighs 495 grams. In a laboratory that matters differently than in production: here you do not work in long passes but in many short, controlled bursts, often with the same hand across an entire series of panels. A light gun keeps that movement more consistent, which feeds directly into how comparable the panels are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buttons on the back of the gun let you adjust the powder volume while spraying, without looking away from the work. The integrated LED can be linked to the trigger and helps when judging the deposit on dark substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCleaning and maintaining the inline injector\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the injector is cleaned more often in laboratory use than in production, here is the procedure in brief. Separate the injector from the cup, remove the powder hose from the conductive gun connection, then blow out the injector body and the powder inlet with oil-free and water-free compressed air. To check that the path is clear, apply air to the inlet and confirm that it emerges at the gun connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a thorough clean, the PTFE bushing and the powder transport system can be dismantled: unscrew the injector nut, turn the transport assembly 55 degrees anticlockwise and pull it off in one piece. On reassembly the air hole must face upwards and the mark on the component must line up with the line on the injector body. This is the only point on this unit where something can genuinely be got wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer's article code: \u003cstrong\u003eA06ELAB30\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE-COAT+3 Master controller unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE-GUN+3 C1 handgun with 7 m cable and LED lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE-FEED+3 VI inline injector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 ml powder cup, easy-lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePneumatic hoses and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting kit for bench-top use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable as an option: 1000 ml cup.

The smaller quantity of powder does not change the physics: overspray still occurs, the zone classification still applies, and the manufacturer still requires the control unit to be switched on only when the booth is working properly. For laboratory purposes a much smaller booth than in production will do. Talk to us and we will tell you what size suits your sample parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I coat real components with this unit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically yes, since the control unit and the gun match the floor-standing machines. In practice the cup sets the limit. At a fill quantity of 250 to 350 grams you will have to refill on larger parts, and that costs more time than it saves. For one-off pieces up to around A3 size and for small components it works well; once you have regular orders, a unit with a hopper or box feeder is the more economical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quick is a colour change?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake off the cup, purge the powder path with the rapid purge mode, fit the new cup. That puts you in the range of one to two minutes, provided you keep several cups on hand.
