Ransburg Overhead Electric Reciprocator ER-8100 - Manual (Page 9)

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Our new generation Electric TurboDisk Recip-
rocator presents the ideal alternative to hydraulic
reciprocators particularly for applications that
demand critical regulation in blended pattern
applications. This machine can be configured to
deliver stroke lengths from 5 ft. (1.524m) to 32 ft.
(9.7536m) in one foot increments and provides for
multiple points of hesitation throughout the stroke
length. It performs at a machine speed of 60
inches per second and can be interfaced with PLC
technology. The Electric TurboDisk Reciprocator
is easy to service and is the ideal replacement
machine for existing hydraulic systems.
FEATURES AND
BENEFITS
• No hydraulic power supply
Eliminates potential for paint finish contami-
nation. Also eliminates oil leaks, routine filter /
valve / seal maintenance requirements as well
as hoses or the possibility of leaky connections.
• Counter balanced drive tube
Provides energy efficient, smooth operation with
enhanced acceleration / deceleration control.
• 4HP electric motor with vfd, closed-loop
control, heavy-duty triple chain drive
Delivers rugged, reliable performance with
accuracy to 1/4 inch. Stroke and velocity
adjust-
ments may be made “on the fly” via enhanced
programmability - up to 10 programs - via
keypad with display.
• Fail-safe breaking
Provides added assurances that the drive tube
will lock in the event of a chain failure. Also, “run-
away” limit switches that will shut down and lock
the drive tube in the event of a controller failure.
• Smooth operation
Delivers improved control over paint film depo-
sition while extending equipment life.
• Easy installation
Compact and lighter weight with no hydraulic
tubing to run and install. Does not require oil
fill / flush procedure and eliminates start-up
issues due to contaminated control valves.
• Reduce maintenance costs
Elimination of hydraulic power greatly reduces
operational and maintenance costs.
• Elimination of slide bar adjustments.
• Elimination slide bar and aircraft cable
wear.
• User-friendly, easy to program.
