Application Advantages of the NEW AT-400R Remote Electric Arc Spray System

The primary benefit of the NEW AT-400R Arc Spray System from Thermach is the ability to remotely mount the wire feeder at the point of use. Separating the controls from the wire feeder enhances flexibility and reliability in wire feeding during the spray operation.

CHALLENGE

Excessive coaxial cable lengths in the arc spray process may cause the following issues:

Mounting a twin wire arc gun onto a moving robot or traverse, while the wire feeder remains stationary, can cause various wire handling issues due to the relative motion between the gun and the feeder. Here are some potential challenges:

Wire Drag and Tension

Wire Kinking or Twisting

Excessive Wire Flexing

Inconsistent Wire Feed Rates

Wire Guide Wear

Increased Risk of Snagging or Obstructions

All of the above issues may result in excessive maintenance costs, downtime and quality issues.

SOLUTION: THE AT-400R FROM THERMACH

How does the AT-400R solution work?

The AT-400R Remote Wire Feeder can be mounted directly onto the robot arm, providing several key benefits for arc spray systems:

Minimized Coaxial Cable Lengths

Shorter Coaxial Cables minimize voltage drop, improving arc stability and coating quality.

Improved Wire Feeding

Eliminates issues like wire tension, drag, or kinking caused by long wire runs, resulting in more consistent feeding and fewer interruptions.

Enhanced Flexibility

The system adapts better to complex robotic movements, reducing stress on the wires and improving overall performance.

This remote wire feeder approach utilizing the Thermach AT-400R optimizes both productivity and coating quality.
