Laser System Scores Perfect in Painting

Edited by Robert H. Williams

The Iowa Waste Reduction Center, at the University of Northern Iowa, has perfected a laser attachment to a spray gun that cuts costs, time and waste. The LaserPaint system determines the best spray gun-to-part distance. When at the optimal gun-to-part distance, two laser beams converge to form a single dot projected onto the part being painted. The system also cues technicians to the correct degree of overlap when painting. The result, says a spokesman, is a “high quality finish with enhanced environmental benefits.”
