Section 2 Description Introduction See Figure 2-1. The Versa-Spray II Integral Power Supply (IPS) automatic electrostatic powder spray gun electrostatically charges and sprays organic powder coatings. The integral power supply (multiplier) (4) is available in either positive or negative polarity and is user-replaceable. The spray gun can be used with several different control units and powder pumps.
Description Theory of Operation The Versa-Spray II control unit supplies low-voltage dc power to the voltage multiplier. The multiplier generates the high voltage needed for powder coating. The voltage generates a high-strength electrostatic field between the spray gun and the grounded part in front of the spray gun. The electrostatic field produces a corona discharge around the electrode.
Gun Air Upgrade Kits Five kits are available to add a diffuser and nozzle extension to a Versa-Spray II automatic powder spray gun. For spray guns used with a Versa-Spray II control unit, the following kits are available. Diffuser kit...
