Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of monitoring a rotary paint atomizer includes determining a target rotational speed, a target air flow rate, a target torque, and a target electrostatic current; and measuring an operating rotational speed, an operating air flow rate, an operating torque, and an operating electrostatic current. The method includes detecting at least one of a first condition in which the operating rotational speed differs from the target rotational speed, a second condition in which the operating air flow rate differs from the target air flow rate, a third condition in which the operating torque differs from the target torque, and a fourth condition in which the operating electrostatic current differs from the target electrostatic current. After detecting, the method includes producing an indicator signal indicative of at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth condition. A rotary paint atomizer system is also disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of monitoring a rotary paint atomizer, wherein the rotary paint atomizer includes a bell cup rotatable about an axis, having an outer edge spaced apart from the axis, and configured for ejecting a coating composition from the outer edge towards a workpiece; an air turbine coupled to the bell cup and configured for rotating the bell cup about the axis at an operating rotational speed; a shroud surrounding the bell cup and configured for ejecting…
