SATA GmbH, Kornwestheim-based specialists for wet coating technologies recently introduced a new lineup of products at Automechanika in Germany.
The new product that attracted the most interest was the jet X premium spray gun. And rightly so: even at first glance, you can see that it has a new look: what stands out is the simple, elegant exterior in matt black with red accents.
It is safe to assume that the jet X will create interest in the industry. According to SATA, the most important innovations are of a technical nature. An innovative nozzle technology is intended to set new standards in atomization: The labyrinth system invented by SATA guides the air in the nozzle so that it exits free of turbulence and pulsation. This ensures that the material is atomized extremely fine and homogeneously. The spray pattern is said to be particularly easy to control with optimized material distribution and clearly defined fade-out zones.
The jet X also has a number of other clever features, such as a trigger that can be removed in no time at all and without tools, with an integrated wrench for the fluid tip. The jet X is ergonomic and lighter weight than ever before. And with fewer components the maintenance is quick and easy.
There will be four options to choose from to fit your needs. Initially the jet X Basic and jet X Digital Ready will be available in the U.S. with the jet X Digital and jet X Digital Pro coming later pending approvals.
The second major innovation with the SATA logo was perhaps not as eagerly awaited—but it is equally exciting: LCS, the Liner Cup System from SATA. Although it is by no means the first on the market, it has a decisive advantage: It fits all SATA spray guns with a QCC cup connection—and without an adapter. This improves the weight and centre of gravity of the gun and makes cleaning easier. Other product benefits include high-quality materials, particle-free screens that click into place. A quadruple bayonet lock on the lid, which shows at-a-glance that it is closed correctly. A complete and detailed scaling system in addition to an upside-down scale showing the remaining quantity during painting.
