It consists of an advanced PLC controller along with Vertical and Horizontal sensor on a touch screen. These sensors are placed at the entrance of the booth just outside. They sense the changes in height of the part and trigger on the appropriate number of guns. Thus if the part entering the booth is of a small height, less number of guns shall be triggered on and if the length of the part is taller the PLC system shall trigger on more number of guns. These sensors also check for line gaps (i.e. missing parts on conveyor / empty jigs) and appropriately trigger on / off the respective number of guns.
Reciprocators / Wagglers / Oscillators can be coupled to horizontal movement systems. The MAGIC EYE sensors can move them in / out horizontally while keeping track of the changing width of the part. This automatic intelligent gun triggering system shall result in better productivity, lesser overspray of powder; high quality finishes and is a great tool to save money on the floor shop. |

Upgrade procurement rules: paints body
The Indian Paints Association (IPA) has urged the ministry of defence,
government of India (GoI) to set up a task force for reviewing and
upgrading paint procurement specification.
“The defence minister, GoI Pranab Mukherjee has been requested to set
up a task force to review inspection and purchase specification of
paints. The minister has consented to consider the matter,” said
Promod K Khanna, president, IPA at their 42nd Annual General Meeting.
The defence often purchase paints according to their own specification
which in most cases follows the old technology, he explained.
It was further informed that ministry might from now will accept self
certification, subject to certain specification.
The paint consumption by defence is to the tune of 25 lakh litre worth
Rs 80 crore purchased from a scattered market.
“Defence will get a better value for money if they start procuring the
paint that are produced using best technology. It would significantly
reduce revenue loss due to corrosion,” said Subir Bose, managing
director, Berger Paints India Ltd.
Changing specification will not be an easy task but the association
will sincerely follow up the matter with the ministry, assured Bose. <more>
Big B's Viruddh ropes in brands

Shuttle Coatings
NASA Celebrates Launch With Caution
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- With the
thunderous roar of 7.5 million pounds of thrust, equivalent to the
power of a small nuclear device, the United States relaunched its era
of spaceflight Tuesday, sending seven astronauts into orbit aboard the
Space Shuttle Discovery. The crew of Discovery have begun their first
day in orbit with a painstaking, delicate search of the exterior of
the shuttle to investigate whether the spacecraft was damaged during
blast-off.
A 4cm (1.5in) piece of thermal tile appeared to break off from the
Discovery’s belly during lift-off, as well as a larger piece of foam,
according to Nasa flight operations manager John Shannon. Neither
object struck the space craft as they fell.
NASA Says Damage to Shuttle Discovery Surface Insignificant
The U.S. space agency NASA says it has discovered no serious defects
in the shuttle Discovery's surface as the result of debris impacts
during Tuesday's launch. Mission managers have also extended
Discovery's visit to the International Space Station for extra supply
transfers. They made the decision because they had earlier suspended
future shuttle missions until NASA learns how to prevent further
debris strikes like the kind that doomed the shuttle Columbia mission
in 2003.
07.30.05 - STS-114 MCC Status Report #09
Space Shuttle Discovery’s heat protective tiles and thermal
blankets have been pronounced fit for entry after engineers reviewed
the imagery and other data to judge their health.
Repair Kit (Earlier news)
During his first spacewalk, Noguchi will test new repair measures
inside the shuttle's storage room that opens up to outer space.
He will also fix any thermal protection tiles that are damaged with
silicon repair material. He may even have to apply a new coating of
bonding material on any deep cracks and gashes in the reinforced
carbon-carbon composite layer.
A repair kit using
Starfire Systems Inc. pre-ceramic polymers will be tested on the Space
Shuttle Discovery, which was launched Tuesday.
The kit will be one of five methods that are being developed for
testing on this and future space shuttle flights. All five kits will
include Starfire materials.
The kit being tested on the flight being launched Wednesday is
designed to repair damage to the shuttle's heat shielding in orbit. A
puncture in the wing heat shielding was responsible for bringing down
the shuttle two years ago. Starfire, of Malta, N.Y., produced the
polymers that are in a sealing paste developed by Alliant Technologies
Inc. of Minnesota. The paste is dispensed in a caulk-gun type device.
It can be used to seal small cracks and damaged coating in the
shuttle's heat resistant surfaces to protect astronauts from re-entry
temperatures that can be more than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The kit will be tested by astronauts on a simulated shuttle panel in
the spacecraft's cargo bay during a space walk.
Discovery
Launched From
Refurbished Launch Pad
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - While
eliminating the debris that sheds from the Space Shuttle's External
Fuel Tank has been one of the primary requirements for the Return to
Flight mission, work to eliminate hazardous debris went far beyond the
Tank. When Discovery launched this week, the Shuttle stack departed
from a structure that was cleaner than ever thanks to a major
corrosion abatement effort that began in April of 2004 and was
completed in March of this year. The pad was be virtually rust-free.
The extensive corrosion control project at Launch Pad 39 B has
corrected decades of exposure to the damaging affects of one of the
most corrosive
environments in the world. Additional work on Pad A is currently
underway Harry Moore, who is part of the United Space Alliance
(USA) technical
operations staff of Construction Management/Corrosion Control, said
the original plan was to treat the corrosion "hot spots" on the fixed
service
structure and the rotating service structure of the launch pads. "But
since the existing coating is at the end of its 10-year life span,
and since we had down time, we decided on a full corrosion control
effort," he said.
The first step of the 11-month corrosion control project at Pad B was
to strip the 247-foot steel launch tower down to bare metal, ridding
the surfaces of all the old coating and getting rid of the rust.
Preparation for the blasting to take off the rust and paint took place
in April. Critical items such as pneumatic tubing and light fixtures
had to be covered with a heavy-duty plastic. Then, the abrasive blast
cleaning began. Workers from Ivey's Construction, the Merritt Island
contractor handling the job, hit the metal with a spray of crushed
coal slag, a byproduct of coal- fired power plants. Moore said the
crushed slag is applied with a pressure of 90 pounds per square inch.
"It could cut your desk in half," he said.
The blasting was finished in January this year and the coating was
applied in February and March. Applying the coating was a two-step
process. First, a basecoat of inorganic zinc was applied. Then a
topcoat was applied to protect the zinc .
That topcoat is a mixture of mostly Portland cement plus a few other
"proprietary ingredients," according to Moore. The mixture was
developed by
private industry specifically for KSC to deal with the acidic residue
left behind by the Solid Rocket Boosters that help propel the Shuttle
into space.
In addition to protecting the pad structures from rust degradation,
the corrosion control effort aims to reduce the likelihood of foreign
object debris, or FOD, a key CAIB concern.
In the past the main focus of corrosion control was preserving
structural integrity. Now, following recommendations of the CAIB,
corrosion control is
also focused on reducing debris from pealing paint and rusted flakes
of metal. Corrosion now falls under critical debris.
This change requires more inspection and stepped-up maintenance
day-to- day. Under the new system, any object the size of a quarter or
larger (0.01 pounds of mass or more) will be considered to have a
potential impact on launch.
In addition, a three-step process has been implemented to monitor
debris. The first step is a "clean as you go" system in which all pad
workers monitor for debris they may have created, and eliminate it as
they work. Second, there are daily "walk-down" inspections of the
tower by a designated employee. Finally, once a week, managers perform
walk-downs to check for debris. This new system complements an
existing corrosion tracking program that involves photographing all
sections of the pad structures and filing those photos in a database.
All of these efforts -- both new and old -- have put USA on track for
providing one of the cleanest, safest launch platforms ever for the
Return to
Flight mission.

Agreement Reached between
DuPont and Rhode Island Attorney General in Lead Poisoning Case;
Agreement Will Provide Rhode Island Residents Relief, Abatement and
Education
MT. PLEASANT, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2005--Motley Rice LLC,
one of the nation's largest all plaintiffs' litigation firms, today
applauded the agreement that has been reached between DuPont (NYSE:DD)
and the Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch to resolve the
State's groundbreaking lawsuit against the former manufacturer of lead
pigment. This action by DuPont, brought about by the R.I. Attorney
General, represents DuPont's agreement to help solve the problem of
lead poisoning in the state. Originally filed in 1999, the suit
alleges that DuPont helped to create a significant public health
crisis in the state by manufacturing, distributing and promoting
lead-based paint products.
Motley Rice LLC represents the State of Rhode Island in its suit
against DuPont, as well as in suits against six other lead pigment
manufacturers concerning the lead-poisoning crisis in Rhode Island.
According to the Rhode Island Department of Health, nearly 100 Rhode
Island children are lead-poisoned each and every month. This
litigation is an effort by the State to make the lead pigment
manufacturers take responsibility for the pervasive health hazard
confronted by the Rhode Island public, including its children,
parents, homeowners, landlords and taxpayers.
The agreement reached today calls for DuPont to make contributions in
excess of $10 million for a variety of lead abatement, enforcement,
and education programs. Jack McConnell, a senior partner at Motley
Rice, applauded DuPont's decision to reach this agreement. "We are
extremely pleased to see DuPont stepping up to the plate and 'breaking
rank' with the other lead pigment manufacturers," said McConnell. "DuPont
has done the right thing."
Attorney Fidelma Fitzpatrick of Motley Rice, who has been actively
involved in the litigation, echoed McConnell's sentiments. "We are
encouraged to see DuPont making the first significant industry effort
to clean up the toxic lead mess in Rhode Island," said Fitzpatrick.
"For decades, the State and the public have been left to do what they
can to deal with a problem they did not create. The settlement with
DuPont is a great first step in making sure that this industry is
helping to solve the public health problem that exists."
McConnell complimented Attorney General Patrick Lynch for his
ground-breaking settlement. "Patrick Lynch has worked tirelessly to
bring about this precedent-setting public health benefit for Rhode
Island's children and its taxpayers."
The Attorney General, together with Motley Rice and co-counsel
Thornton & Naumes of Boston, Mass., are actively preparing for trial
in September against the remaining defendants (Sherwin Williams,
Millennium, NL Industries, ARCO, American Cyanamid and ConAgra). "We
will ask the remaining defendants to accept responsibility for their
roles in this public health crisis," McConnell said. <more>
DuPont sued in U.S. over
chemical secrets
DuPont Co., the third-biggest U.S. chemical maker, was sued in U.S.
federal courts over claims that it knew for two decades that a
chemical used to make Teflon non-stick coating can sicken people.
The company said in May it agreed to settle allegations by U.S.
regulators that it failed to disclose health data about
perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, used to make Teflon. The chemical is
a likely human carcinogen, an Environmental Protection Agency advisory
panel said last month.
"The class of potential plaintiffs could well contain almost every
American that has purchased a pot or pan coated with DuPont's
non-stick coating," plaintiffs' attorney Alan Kluger, of Kluger,
Peretz, Kaplan & Berlin in Miami, said in a PRNewswire statement.
DuPont, which invented Teflon in 1938, said PFOA isn't harmful to
human health and the processing agent isn't found in finished products
such as pots and pans. The Wilmington, Delaware-based company said it
will defend against suits filed in eight states by Kluger's firm and
Oppenheim Pilelsky, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
"Consumers using products sold under the Teflon brand are safe,"
DuPont said in an e-mailed statement. "Cookware coated with DuPont
Teflon non-stick coatings does not contain PFOA." DuPont shares rose
22 cents, or 0.5 percent, to US$43.90 in New York Stock Exchange
composite trading. They have fallen 10 percent this year, valuing the
company at US$43.8 billion.
The lawsuits, which seek class-action status, call for unspecified
damages and ask that DuPont be ordered to place warning labels on
Teflon-coated pots and pans and create a fund to monitor the health of
users. "DuPont's own research has shown that when Teflon is heated, it
can emit a variety of toxic gases," Steve Silverman, Kluger Peretz's
litigation chairman, said in the firm's statement.
The EPA advisory panel said in a draft report that the agency is
underestimating PFOA's health risk, including the potential to cause
breast and pancreatic tumors. DuPont on May 19 said it received a
subpoena in a grand jury probe related to the chemical.
The announcement followed the settlement with the EPA. DuPont, which
didn't specify the amount, set aside US$15 million in the first
quarter after the April 21 preliminary agreement. The EPA said last
year the penalty might reach US$300 million. <more>
Government of Canada
invests in aerospace nanotechnology coatings
Coatings Flash -
July 04, 2005
The government announced a $3.4 million investment in the development
of new nano-technology-based coatings for the aerospace industry which
will advance more environmentally sound technologies. This Technology
Partnerships Canada (TPC) investment is part of an $8.6 million
research and development initiative being undertaken by Toronto-based
Integran Technologies Inc. through the multinational Joint Strike
Fighter program.
In the aerospace and defence industry, coatings offer metal surface
protection against corrosion, wear, and extreme temperature
environments for landing gear and jet engine components. Current
coatings technologies use hard chrome plating; hazardous to health and
the environment, this method is also expensive to manufacturers.
Integran will develop its unique nano-crystalline cobalt-phosphorous
coatings and deposition process technologies as an environmentally
friendly and a commercially viable alternative to the current
hazardous hard chrome plating process. The nano-technology coatings
will have applications on the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program and
other aerospace and defence platforms. This technology also holds the
potential for broad applications in automotive, biomedical, and other
industrial sectors.

DSM Coating Resins
Announces Price Increases for Powder Coating Resins
Coatings Flash -
July 11, 2005
DSM Coating Resins' Gerben Algra, Global Business Manager Polyesters,
announced price increases in North America for the Uralac range of
polyester powder coating resins. Powder polyester coating resins will
increase by up to USD 0.10/lb, differentiated by product grade for all
orders shipped on or after August 1, 2005 or as otherwise permitted by
the terms and conditions of customer contracts. DSM with five
polyester powder resin plants is a leading global supplier of resin
for Coatings. Powder Coatings are used in architectural, domestic
appliance, automotive and general industrial applications. Algra says
the need for these further price increases is due to the continuing
escalation in the cost of feedstock such as NPG and PTA, high energy
costs and fuel surcharges in North America. Strong global demand was
responsible for feedstock s back-to-back price hikes through 2004 and
continuing into early 2005. The North American situation is
exceptional as feedstock prices have been increasing throughout the
second quarter of 2005 and are expected to rise further in the third
quarter.
