Gema’s new XT12 horizontal axis for spray systems is for extra-long strokes and its YT05 synchronising axis is designed for higher speeds.
The horizontal axis XT12 automatically positions a ZA vertical reciprocator towards the object, while adjusting to the part width. This is vital for achieving precise coating results. The axis is also used for automatic outside cleaning of the guns during colour change.
The YT05 heavy-duty horizontal axis is specially designed for challenging automatic powder coatings, such as enamel cavity, wheel and enclosure coating. The axis, the company says, fulfills the highest requirements on dynamics and stability, making it an optimal solution for users who require a precise synchronised axis movement for product tracking with the conveyor, achieving maximum exposure time of the powder guns to the product.

Paul N. Gardner USA, global distributors, producers, and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries, has introduced a new offering: The compact, portable Sling Psychrometer.
As an easy way to measure relative humidity levels quickly, this uniquely compact Bacharach Sling Psychrometer accurately determines per cent relative humidity without the necessity of consulting complex tables. There is no need to wet the wick each time a reading is taken, and it contains a slide rule calculator which correlates wet and dry bulb thermometer indications for direct reading of relative humidity. When not in use, the thermometer case telescopes into the handle for protection.
The Sling Psychrometer consists of two thermometers that are turned by vigorously swinging the handle and exposing the thermometers to rapid air movement. These two thermometers are called dry bulb and wet bulb. The bulb of one thermometer is placed in direct contact with the room air to measure dry-bulb air temperature. The bulb of the other thermometer is covered with a silk or muslin sleeve that is kept moist to record the wet bulb temperature. Evaporation cools the wet bulb more than the dry bulb, and the humidity is obtained as a function of change in temperature. The atmospheric humidity is determined by calculations, steam tables, or using a psychrometric chart. Gardco.com
