“For a high-quality finish, one air cap does not fit all,” said
Wendy Hartley, global product manager for manual finishing
equipment in Graco’s Industrial Products Division. “To produce
consistent atomization and a clean pattern when spraying certain
materials, it's important to have air caps designed for them.”
Air caps geometrically designed for general finishing, wood
lacquer, low viscosity, high viscosity, quick drying, top coat, and
waterborne applications fit both manual and automatic PerformAA
models.
Lowest Manual AA Gun Weight on the Market
At one pound (460 grams), PerformAA 15, 50 and Airless are the
lightest manual AA spray guns available. Other operator-friendly
features include:
- Ultra-light trigger pull to reduce fatigue and muscle
stress
- Ergonomic handle and finger rest to fit comfortably in any
sized hand
- Cartridge-style components that minimize maintenance
downtime
Only Automatic Spray Gun with Air Cap Orientation
PerformAA Auto is the only automatic air-assisted spray gun on
the market with features that help operators and maintenance
technicians set and quickly repeat exact air cap orientation. This
is especially important in flat-line finishing automation.
“We observed people out in the field using protractors and
levels to try to get air caps back to that same angle that they had
originally,” said Bill Heuer, global product manager for automatic
finishing equipment in Graco’s Industrial Products Division. “To
assist in this, we created the Graco Gauge and added angle marks
into the fluid housing on all PerformAA Auto guns.”
The Graco Gauge air cap alignment tool, plus the angle
indicators, help save time and labor whenever air caps are cleaned
or guns are serviced.
