In response to feedback from customers for a flexible system but with higher throughput, we have created the 500A, ARC150/S500(16) system. The ARC150 system offers a great balance of controllable throughput with flexible operation and the opportunity to have extended supplies packages up to 50m from the energiser to the pistol. A number of new features are included to enable reliable spraying at 500A, 100% continuous duty cycle. These include a new pistol front end with contact tips instead of solid tubes; uprated supplies / cooled conductors and terminals; a heavy duty drive unit with new, v-shaped rollers; heavy duty flexible drive and a new 500A energiser with high-specification digital meters. These features combine to give a flexible, reliable and manageable solution for medium and large scale thermal spray applications, producing quality, fine surface finish coatings. The ARC150 system is designed for anti-corrosion applications spraying zinc, aluminium and their alloys but can also be used to spray other materials commonly sprayed in larger applications such as high temperature alloys. ■ 500A capacity = high productivity ■ Closed-loop current = simplicity / reliability ■ Uses 2.3/2.5mm anti-corrosion wires ■ 1.6mm setup for high termperature alloys ■ Air cooled cables = lightweight ■ Flexible pistol manoeuvrability ■ New 500A energiser with digital display ■ 10 and 20m supplies packages (max wire feed) ■ Extension supplies to extend up to 50m ■ Easy to setup and maintain = high productivity ■ MIG, hardboard reel and drum dispense ■ New heavy duty drive unit and rollers ■ New contact tips = reliability at higher current ■ 100% duty cycle = reliability and productivity Typical Applications: All figures are approximate and will vary with specific spray parameters ■ Structural Steelwork ■ Oil/Gas platforms ■ Pipes and vessels ■ Internal vessel / boilers ■ Gates / fences ■ Architectural fabrications ■ Bridges
