As part of Wagner's new technology for the automated control of powder output, each individual conveying element is equipped with high-precision measuring sensors. The smart system constantly monitors the powder flow and compares the powder quantity with the target values. Flowsense can even measure the powder output for each gun individually in g/min. The exact dosing of the powder quantity can be saved in the recipe and is permanently reproducible without manual corrections, which would be necessary without Flowsense.
High quality thanks to constant layer thicknesses
With powder centers, the user usually has to monitor the powder quantity himself in order to be able to readjust it in good time. The so-called sawtooth effect occurs to varying degrees and leads to uneven powder output during production. Flowsense adjusts the output parameters independently and corrects deviations automatically.
Making certifications easier
The powder output can also be adjusted much better to the target layer thickness, which in turn minimizes the safety margin. This enables powder savings. Constant coating thicknesses within certain limits are also an important criterion for certification by quality associations for industrial coating.
Extended service life of wear parts
Another advantage is predictive maintenance: as Flowsense permanently monitors the powder flow, blockages, for example, are detected in good time and rejects are avoided. When interacting with the injector technology, the smart system also provides information on the current status of the catch nozzles.
Simple operation & integration with IoT
Flowsense is configured and operated on the powder center's touchscreen with intuitive user guidance. The system works mainly in the background and displays relevant information automatically. It is also integrated into Wagner's Coatify information and management platform, which can be used to intelligently visualize your own coating system.
