Product Overview

The document details Anest Iwata's electrostatic spray guns designed for water-based paints, focusing on two main series: the E-MW series (external charge) and the E-M15B series (internal charge). These products are engineered to maximize paint transfer efficiency, improve finishing quality, and enhance safety and ergonomics.

Specifications

E-MW Series (External Charge)

• Maximum output voltage: 50 kV (E-MW50), 60 kV (E-MW100)
• High voltage generated internally via an elevator
• Input voltage: AC 24 V peak-to-peak (low voltage supply to gun)
• Maximum operating current: 150 µA
• Detachable external electrode (antenna)
• Dimensions without electrode: 186 mm (E-MW50), 183 mm (E-MW100)
• Dimensions with electrode: 212 mm (E-MW50), 229 mm (E-MW100)

E-M15B Series (Internal Charge)

• Maximum output voltage: 40 kV
• High voltage generated by cascade type internal elevator for enhanced safety
• Input voltage: AC 12 V peak-to-peak
• Ergonomically designed trigger and grip for user comfort
• Low voltage cable with detachable connector for easy maintenance
• Teflon fluid hose for easy cleaning
• Length: 223 mm

Models and Variants

Multiple model variants are available for both series, differing in voltage, current, and electrode configurations. For example, E-MW50 and E-MW100 models vary by maximum voltage and length, while E-M15B models offer different air cap and fluid tube options.

Controllers and Accessories

Controllers

• E-SC24-EX Series: Designed for E-MW100 and E-MW50 series, featuring digital voltage and current setup, safety detection functions (low voltage cable failure alarm, current overload alarm), alarm recording, and microcomputer-controlled voltage and current.
• E-SC12-EX Series: For E-M15B series, includes overcurrent relay, ground failure detection, shielded cable failure detection, metallic bridge avoidance, self-diagnostic failure display, and external signal output options.

Accessories

• High voltage tester (EST-1B Paint Tester)
• Spiral fluid tube sets
• Round pattern air cap sets

Safety and Certification

The equipment complies with European safety standards and directives for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX certification). Key certifications include:

• Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX)
• EN 50050:2001 for electrostatic hand-held spraying equipment
• Certification by EXAM BBG Prüf- und Zertifizier GmbH (notified body no. 0158)

The equipment is suitable for use in Zone 1 gas atmospheres and includes safety features such as low current detection, ground fault detection, and overload alarms.

Applications and Benefits

• Designed for water-based paint applications in automotive and general industries
• Maximizes paint transfer efficiency, reducing waste and cost
• Improves finishing quality with consistent electrostatic charging
• Enhances operator safety and ergonomics
• Lightweight and manageable design
