The modern paint shop is a maze of pipes and tubes carrying paint all over the place! Some of these circulation systems even have temperature control systems designed to make sure that the paint temperature is controlled as it is circulated. So why is paint temperature still such an issue?

The week of March 18th I was privileged to attend RadTech’s Big Ideas Conference in Redondo Beach California. In addition to offering a nice reprieve from the Michigan winter, it also provided some keen insight into important things happening in the field of UV. So, for the next few pages, let’s take a look at how UV affects us in our everyday lives.

In the world of automotive paint, consistent results are key – not only to the folks in quality control, but more importantly, to the folks in the showroom (and I don’t mean the sales folks!)

The robotic industry is growing by leaps and bounds. According to the Robotic Industries Association (RIA), 2017 was another record-breaking year. Last year, shipments were up 9 percent over the previous year. It was the seventh straight year North American robot shipments increased.
This year forecasts to be similar, continuing that upward trend.
The industrial robotic painting sector is no different. The same factors that are driving growth in the overall robotics market are driving growth in the industrial robotic painting segment.
For good reason.

Editor’s Note: Our VP of Engineering & Technology Mike Bonner recently spoke at the 2018 Waterborne Symposium held in New Orleans, LA. His presentation went in-depth on the differences in atomization between spray guns and bell atomizers, shedding light on how paint finishers can further improve their applications. For those not in attendance, he’s also prepared his insights here for our blog as a series of posts. To view the rest of the posts in the series, visit the Guns vs. Bells blog series page.
