� Make sure the spray area is adequately ventilated.

� To prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangers in theworkplace that often cannot be completely eliminated, suchas hot surfaces, sharp edges, energized electrical circuits,and moving parts that cannot be enclosed or otherwiseguarded for practical reasons.

High-Pressure Fluids High-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, areextremely hazardous. Always relieve fluid pressure beforeadjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet ofhigh-pressure fluid can cut like a knife and cause serious bodilyinjury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin can alsocause toxic poisoning.

If you suffer a fluid injection injury, seek medical careimmediately. If possible, provide a copy of the MSDS for theinjected fluid to the health care provider.

The National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association hascreated a wallet card that you should carry when you areoperating high-pressure spray equipment. These cards aresupplied with your equipment. The following is the text of thiscard:

WARNING: Any injury caused by high pressure liquidcan be serious. If you are injured or even suspect aninjury:

� Go to an emergency room immediately.

� Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.

� Show him this card

� Tell him what kind of material you were spraying

MEDICAL ALERT—AIRLESS SPRAY WOUNDS: NOTE TOPHYSICIAN

Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is importantto treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. Do not delaytreatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with someexotic coatings injected directly into the bloodstream.

Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive handsurgeon may be advisable.

The seriousness of the wound depends on where the injury is onthe body, whether the substance hit something on its way in anddeflected causing more damage, and many other variablesincluding skin microflora residing in the paint or gun which areblasted into the wound. If the injected paint contains acryliclatex and titanium dioxide that damage the tissue’s resistance toinfection, bacterial growth will flourish. The treatment thatdoctors recommend for an injection injury to the hand includesimmediate decompression of the closed vascular compartmentsof the hand to release the underlying tissue distended by theinjected paint, judicious wound debridement, and immediateantibiotic treatment.

Fire Safety To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.

Theory of OperationTable 2 lists a typical operation sequence.

Table 2 Typical Operation Sequence

Step Description

1 A new workpiece is brought into the work position.

2 The controller receives a part strobe signal.

3 The felt gripper actuates and the applicator moves from the pounce station to a standoff position near theworkpiece.

4 The clear primer H200 dispense valve opens and closes for a set time to pre-wet the felt.

5 The applicator moves from the standoff position and onto the workpiece. The clear primer H200 dispensevalve opens and the felt applies clear primer to the workpiece along a programmed path. Typically, theclear primer H200 dispense valve is opened along the entire path. Depending upon the shape of theworkpiece, stitching can be used in corner areas to prevent excessive primer coverage.

6 The following occurs if stitching is used:

a. The applicator moves up and away from the workpiece when it reaches a corner area.

b. The clear primer H200 dispense valve closes and the robot rotates the applicator 90 degrees.

c. The applicator moves until the clear primer rub block presses the felt onto the workpiece.

d. The clear primer H200 dispense valve opens.

e. The felt applies clear primer to the workpiece corner.

7 The applicator moves up and away from the workpiece and pauses about 1–2 seconds to allow clearprimer to flash-off. The black primer rub block presses the felt onto the workpiece. The black primerH200 dispense valve opens and the felt applies black primer onto the workpiece along a programmedpath. Typically, the black primer H200 dispense valve is opened along the entire path. Depending uponthe shape of the workpiece, stitching is used in the corners to prevent excessive primer coverage. Blackprimer stitching is done in the same manner as clear primer (step 6).

8 The workpiece indexes to the next station, the robot returns to the pounce station, and the felt lockingpads open.

9 The felt advances until the optic color sensor detects 3 states of felt color: black, white, and black. Thefelt stops when the color sensor detects the second black state. If the color sensor does not detect ablack state after 7 advances, the system generates an alarm signal that locks the applicator. An operatormust unlock the applicator.

NOTE: Typically, about 2.25 in. (5.7 cm) of felt advances.

10 The robot and applicator remain at the pounce station in the standby mode until the next workpiece isready and a part strobe signal is received. If the applicator remains stationary for more than two minutes,the felt advances an additional 10 in. (25.4 cm) to prevent saturated black primer felt from adhering to thegripper assembly.
