"Quick Change" Spray Guns

Changeable end arm tooling is nothing new in the machining industry, but not many have attempted it in the paint industry. Thierica was challenged by one of it’s customers to change colors between racks without wasting solvent or paint. General Manager, Lou McGough, took on the project and developed what we are calling “Quick Draw Technology”. Not only does Quick Draw allow for fast color change between parts without waste, but you can even spray non-compatible paint chemistries because the fluid contact parts go with the gun. When a gun is not in use, the robot simply “holsters” it in a holder on the booth wall. You could even combine a flush box with the “holstered” gun(s) so you could flush and change color in them while you are spraying another color. The number of guns in the system is really only governed by the number of hoses that are practical in the booth and the robot reach. The sky is the limit when it comes to applications of this new technology. Do you have a use for “Quick Draw”? Or maybe you have another application challenge. Call us. We would be happy to work with you finding solutions to your finishing problems.

Get A Complimentary Process/System Evaluation

“You can’t see the forest for the trees.” It’s been said over and over and it is still true today. Sometimes we lose sight of the issues costing us time and money because we are too close to the situation. You see the same system every day. You spend most of your time “putting out fires” rather than finding new and creative ways to improve your process and reduce costs. This is where a “new” set of eyes can be very beneficial. Thierica’s salespeople come from a “process engineering” background. Our salespeople have been where you are. They see things through the eyes of someone who’s “been there, done that.” We understand the pressures and issues you face in the finishing department. With that in mind, Thierica is making the following offer: Let one of our “process engineers” evaluate your system. We will visit your facility, observe and gather information to help us understand your process/system, and then prepare a report with recommendations on how you can improve your quality, reduce your costs, and/or increase your production rates. What’s in it for us? We are confident enough in our abilities and knowledge to offer this service in the hope of gaining your trust and consideration as you look at systems and system upgrades. There is nothing for you to lose and much for you to gain. Call (616) 453-6570 or send an inquiry through our website.
