The correct positioning and movement of the automatic spray systems is instrumental for the achievement of the uniform coating, improved recess coverage, and high powder application efficiency. All of which lead to measurable powder savings. 

• Fixed guns or moving?
• Short or long stroke?
• How many strokes per minute?
• What's the effective spray pattern? 

These and similar questions are asked by powder coaters hundreds of times each year. Thousands of powder coating system operators can't answer the question of why their gun movers are making the number of strokes per minute they are making.

The program will answer these and more questions using real-life examples and simple calculations any powder coater can use when optimizing system performance or specifying a new system.
