Tuesday, May 20 lOa.m.-6p.m.

Wednesday, May 21 1la.m -6p.m.

Thursday, May 22 1 la.m.-3p.m.

EVENlNG TUTORIALS

MONDAY, MAY 19 5:30 p.m.-&30 p.m.

Cost Analysis for Coating Processes This tutorial will provide the operator of a paint or powder system with the knowledge of how to calculate the costs associated with the operation of a coating system. Understanding the ap- plied cost of coating and the variables that affect it can make the difference between profit and loss. The cost of powder or paint application, the oven costs, the washer costs, labor, and the hanging arrangement of the parts as they travel through the system can affect profits. The information shared in this program will allow the operator to accurately predict the cost of coating a specific part and to evaluate the impact of making process adjustments.

Fundamentals of Electrocoating This tutorial will provide numerous in- sights into the electrocoat process and will teach you the practical knowledge needed to set up and operate a system. Although some descriptive electrocoat chemistry will be presented, the tutorial is designed for those with no chemistry background. The program will concentrate on a broad range of industrial applications using examples from a wide variety of end uses. Equipment considerations and troubleshooting will also be discussed.

Simulation of Paint Lines This tutorial provides an overview of the simulation technology and its use in robotic paint applications. The session explores typical problems that can be solved effectively by utilizing simulation software with three-dimensional graphics. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the simulation tools and techniques to more efficiently design and operate robotic paint cells. Selection and placement of equipment in workcells, creation of collision-free motion parts, and placement and programming of robots for highest paint efficiency are among the applications discussed in detail through case study.

DESCRIPTION BF-1200 LN SEALER is a liquid solution that has been devel- oped to give the aluminum anodizer another option of sealing anodic coatings

ADVANTAGES 1. Low Nlckei Content Using SF-1200 LN SEALER will reduce your plant’s

discharge of Nickel Metal by 80% ii you are now using a conventional powder or liquid nickel seal.

2. Mid-Ranp Temperahrre: SF-1200 LN SEALER does not require temperatures above 166oF to obtain an excellent seal as do other low or nickel free products.

3. Leaching of Dyes Minimlxed: Other high nickel proprietary compound are cur- rently used to minimixe the leaching of organic dyes during the first few seconds of sealing. BF-1,300 LN SU\LER performs equally well with 80% less nickel.

4. Superior Appearance: The ingredients in BF-1200 LN SEALER eliminates smutting, powdering, blooming and yellowing of the anodic coating. These conditions have long plagued the anodizer, requiring expensive m-runs and hand wiping of the final product.

6. Superior Results: BF-1200 LN SEALER will give a sealed coating that will exceed the requirements for the Modified Stain Test, the more stringent Acid Dissolution Test and Bleach and Salt Spray Tests.

6. Air Quality Improved: SF-1200 LN SEALER, being a solution, eliminates nickel sail dusting” which allows the aluminum anodizer to meet the increasingly stringent air quality standards.
