COMPANY ACTIVITIES

In car body repair workshops infra-red drying is already the present and is definitely the future for vehicle painting. Today it is difficult to find a car body shop that does not have at least one infra-red panel for drying painted parts. There are problems regarding time, environment and new paint products that have led to the necessity of an ever increasing use of the infra-red drying technique.

The objectives we aim at in the making of our ATON drying systems are the following:

A. To take advantage of new mechanical, electromechanical, electronic and software technology to be able to obtain the best exposure position for the piece to be dried, bearing in mind the principle that “the area upon which radiation is distributed depends on the square of the distance from the source”, i.e. if for example the distance from the source doubles, the intensity of irradiation, and thus heat transmitted will be a quarter. The high technology we adopt allows us always to have the right panel in the right place at the right time.

B. To make it as simple to use as possible for the operator programming the Robot with the latest touch screen computer technology.

The antistatic devices have been used by many firms which, thanks to the elimination of electrostatic charges, have been able to solve problems caused by rubbing between solid surfaces and gases in movement (for example air).
Car body shop workers know that paint does not attach to electrically charged surfaces, particularly to plastic. The problem can be solved by passing the cloth attached to the IONITEC antistatic glove system over these charged surfaces.
Doing so both the cause and the effect of the problem are eliminated, which are:
- total reduction of surface charges
- removal of surface dust

Surfaces treated in this way are ideal for uniform painting and optimal for the effects of shading.
