faster spray times
The original Sencon Lacquer Spray Timer system (LST) was designed when spray guns were powered by 12 Watt coils and spray machines ran at 100 cpm, with delays of up to half a second between consecutive sprays. Today spray guns are operated directly by 30 - 40 Watt coils with less than 150 milliseconds between sprays. This means that the original LST design is now operating at the limit of or even just outside its operational capability.
current operated guns
A further development has been the introduction of the Micro Electronic Gun (MEG™ Gun), which establishes a correct spray pattern within a few milliseconds and requires current rather than voltage drivers. In recognition of these developments, Sencon has introduced an upgrade path for all users capable of driving the most advanced spray guns currently available. Two upgrades are available covering all possible options:
Dual Voltage Lacquer Spray Timer (LST-XX -DV)
This system is a direct replacement for the original LST-xx-30. The system accurately times and operates inside lacquer spray solenoids. It will drive up to 40 Watt DC solenoids, using dual
voltage driving techniques for faster turn-on and turn-off.
Dual Current Lacquer Spray Timer (LST-XX -DI)
This system, which can also be used as a direct replacement for the old Sencon LST-xx-3, is designed to drive the most advanced spray guns, including the latest MEG™ guns. Even if you are only considering future investment in MEG™ guns, this upgrade will drive the existing solenoids until the new guns are installed. A simple internal adjustment is all that is required to switch between traditional and the more advanced gun designs.
