1.0 Introduction

The TQC Sheen automatic panel sprayers have been designed to remove inconsistencies in the application
of wet sprayed coating materials when applied by experienced operators using a hand held gun.

The machines are equipped with a range of adjustments to enable the operator to determine the optimum
settings for consistency in the application of a wide range of liquid coating materials. Subsequent sample
batches can be applied using the same settings.

Consistency in coating application is absolutely essential for subsequent evaluation of visual properties
including colour, gloss, opacity and general appearance, also for the physical properties including thickness,
sagging, levelling and adhesion.

Evaluation of these parameters is particularly important when applying high performance coatings such as
metallic, pearlescent paints and specialist effect coatings.

The elimination of variabilities at the application stage enables any discrepancies in the applied coatings to
be attributable to differences in formulation or processing before the application of the coating material.

4. Check that the siting of the Sprayer within spray booth can accommodate panel lift system to its
maximum height (1.8 metres).
5. Ensure front castor brakes are engaged prior to operation.
6. If protective covering over the sprayer panels is to be used ensure that safety warning labels are not
hidden.
7. An earth-wire connection point is provided for potential static discharge to a main electrical earthing
point.
8. Check all switches are in the ‘OFF’ condition, turn on main air supply and check for air leaks. It is
important that any leak is dealt with prior to using sprayer.
9. General Guide to installation see section
10. Approximate weight of the SH0586 & SH00682 is 85kg

7.1 Operating the panel sprayer

1. Check that all panels are in position and secure.
2. Ensure that brush strips are not obstructed.
3. Check that spray guns are secure, and that only recommended cups are being used.
4. Important: during sprayer cycle keep clear of spray gun post and under no circumstance place hands
near the brush strip.
5. Check that cycle is complete before removal of the test panels. Dwell timers should be showing the
pre-set status and coats counter displaying equal pre-set and current value.
6. In the event of mechanical or cyclic problems the Emergency Stop Button should be operated.

7.2 Operating Checks

1. Check condition of all switches, in particular the Emergency Stop Button. Broken actuators must be
replaced.
2. Do not leave air supply on if working inside cabinet.
3. If leaving machine during maintenance work ensure main air supply is disconnected.
4. Service work to cylinders should be carried out by trained personnel only.

7
7.3 Cleaning
1. It is advisable to turn air supply off prior to any general cleaning.
2. Ensure all instruments and labels are easily readable at all times.
3. If re-siting the sprayer, disconnect the air supply first.

NOTE: Any modification to the supply specification of the sprayer will invalidate
warranty and safety aspects.

8
8.0 Control Panel Operation
8.1 Panel Holder
An anodised aluminium frame fitted with magnets to retain steel test sample panels. The holder is easily
removed for cleaning by loosening the socket cap screw located at the base and pulling the holder upwards
from the support bar.

8.2 Brush Seals

These seals protect the gun traversing cylinder, panel lift cylinder and the components within the sprayer
from accidental material spillage and over spray.

8.3 Top Panel

This panel is manufactured from stainless steel to facilitate cleaning. A raised lip around the base of the
panel holder and the gun post slot serves to prevent material accidentally entering the sprayer.

8.4 Control Panel

Stainless steel with all controls and indicator identifications chemically etched.

8.5 Cover Panel

All made of stainless steel and fitted with quick release fasteners to allow easy access for service and
maintenance.

8.6 Air Input Connector

A ½” BSP bulkhead connector is located on the lower right hand side of machine. In addition, a ½” BSP X
12mm straight Speedfit coupling is provided as an option.
If a Speedfit coupling is used then the 12mm nylon pipe is connected by simply pushing pipe into connector.
To release pipe from Speedfit hold down collet and pull out pipe.

8.7 Castors
Four swivelling castors are fitted to the unit, making it very easy to move the sprayer from one location to
another. The two front castors are fitted with brakes which must always be locked when the machine is in
operation in order to prevent movement.

8.8 Handles
A handle is fitted on each side of the sprayer, making it easy to manoeuvre.

8.9 Air Supply

The air supply capacity to the Sprayers must be clean, dry and filtered.

9
9.0 Control Panel Operation

9.1 Manual/Off/Auto Switch

This switch provides control of 3 functions. With the switch set to Off the cycle cannot be started, if it is
switched to Off position during the auto cycle, the current spray cycle will complete then come to rest.

Manual provides main air to all manual function switches and when operated it activates emergency stop to
prevent start up without reset being actioned. Switching to Auto enables start of cycle.

9.2 Manual Spray

Setting this switch to ON causes the gun to spray continuously. This facility is used both for cleaning the gun
and for establishing the correct settings.

9.3 Spray Pressure – Gauge

This indicates the pressure of mains air being supplied to the spray guns.

10
9.4 Spray Pressure – Regulator
Determines the pressure of the main air supplied to spray guns, and is used in conjunction with gauge 2.3 to
prevent accidental alteration the regulator control knob cannot be turned unless it is first pulled out slightly
from the control panel.
The regulator is then turned clockwise to increase pressure or anti-clockwise to decrease pressure.
When pressure is set push knob toward panel to lock.

9.5 Lift Select

SH0586 This model provides a choice of 40mm or 50mm lift increments of the panel holder.
SH0582 model has the customer specified lift increments (10 to 500mm) adjust accordingly.

NOTE: Maximum lift is 9 raises at 50mm increments, and 11 raises at 40mm increments for the SH0586
model, for SH0582 version, the lift increments is dependent on the customer specification.
(range from 10mm to 500mm increments)

NOTE: This should not be changed once the cycle has been started.

9.6 Number of Coats Counter

This counter determines the number of times the spray gun repeats a series of passes across the test panels
to complete one coat.

To set the counter, hold down the white button and push in the ‘1s’ ‘10s’ button repeatedly until the required
value is displayed, then release the white button.

9.7 Flash-Off Timer

Using this timer provides a delay of up to 10 minutes between the applications of each coat. To set the timer,
simply turn the knob to the desired delay time.

If several different flash off times are required during multi-coat spraying, it is possible to change timer setting
during spraying sequence.

It is also possible to shorten time delay while timer is operating, even turning dial to zero to start next cycle.
However it is not possible to increase time value while timer is operating.

9.8 Traverse Speed Control

This control determines the speed at which the gun travels across the face of the test panels. The speed is
changed by rotating the dial, clockwise to reduce the speed, anti clockwise to increase speed.

The dial is graduated to enable the operator to make a note of the setting, the graduations do not represent
any particular unit of speed.

NOTE: If pressure variations of the incoming mains are experienced it will affect the traverse speed
and the controller would require adjustment.

9.9 Manual Traverse

This switch provides manual control of traverse cylinder and is of particular use in moving spray gun to a
central position, in line with panel holder, for test and setting purposes.

9.10 Start Button

When the sprayer has been programmed and spray guns and panels set, press the start button to commence
spraying sequence.

11
9.11 Raise/Reset Button
This is a dual purpose switch and is only operable by engaging emergency stop action. The switch is spring
centred therefore needs to be held for as long as signal is required.

Reset: Will reset all functions to a start condition.

Raise: This allows operator to raise panel holder to a convenient position for loading or unloading panels.
To lower panel holder turn switch to reset.

9.12 Emergency Stop

Pressing stop button while sprayer is in operation will stop cycle and, spray gun immediately.
The sprayer will not function again until reset has been actioned.
It is advisable to reset machine, after use of Emergency Stop, within 20 minutes.

10 Installation

10.1 Main Air Supply

Allow a suitable period of time for the Sprayer to attain ambient conditions (temperature and humidity)
Clean, dry air, pressure not to exceed 1Mpa (1000kPa) 10 bar (150psi)
Volume capacity approximately 35scfm
Connection main air supply to input bulkhead using 12mm tubing ½” hose line. When using the Speedfit
connector ensure 12mm pipe has a clean square cut and is pushed firmly into collet of fitting.
When using ½” BSP connection make sure that there are no restrictions introduced from any smaller size
additional couplings.

10.2 Earth Wire Connection

An earth stud has been provided in order to fit an earthing cable, this is good practice and particularly
important in view of the possibility of static electricity.. The stud is located on rear right hand castor mounting
plate, accessed through right hand side panel.

12
11 Panel Holder Preparation
Before placing test panels on the panel holder, it is advisable to mask the framework and any magnets (or
vacuum holders) that are not in use. This greatly reduces the amount of time and effort required to clean the
holder after the machine has been used.

The panel holder can be removed from the support bar by loosening the wing nut at the base of the support
bar.

11.1 Test Panels

Panels must be flat and free from contamination (degreased, no finger
prints) to ensure a consistent application of the coating materials. (Also
see para 18.0 Associated products)

Important
Test sample panels should be positioned to the holder in such a
way that they are supported at each of the four corners to ensure
that the surface is presented flat and perpendicular to the traverse
of the spray gun. (The image below refers)

12.0 Spray Gun Preparation

12.1 Gun Post Assembly
The SH0586 & SH0582 panel sprayers are designed for single gun
use allowing the spray gun to be mounted central to the post. The
height of the spray gun is not adjustable, its position provides uniform
coverage for maximum panel lift.
The horizontal distance between gun and panel is adjustable by
releasing locking screw and moving plate left or right. If this is
insufficient then plate can be turned through 180°.

12.2 Airlines to Spray Guns

Two colour coded lines supply air to the guns. The large green line carries mains air used to propel the paint
from the gun. The smaller red line activates the gun trigger, switching the gun on or off as it receives the
signal from the machine.

13
13.0 Operating Instructions

13.1 Instructions
Ensure that you have read and understood all sections of this manual, particular attention to be drawn to the
control panel operation section, before operating the panel sprayer.

13.2 Air Supply

Check that the mains air supply is connected at the machine bulkhead, supply is turned on and no air leaks
are present at the connection. Any air leaks must be dealt with before proceeding to operate the sprayer.

13.3 Isolator Valve

Remove the right-hand cover panel, check the isolator valve is set to on position and that the machine
pressure is set to no more than 7.5 bar (100psi)

13.4 Control Panel

Set the control panel “Air On/Off” switch to On position, if the spray gun operates immediately check “manual
spray” switch is set to the “Off” position and operate reset.

If the panel holder and gun are not in their starting positions (Panel Holder fully in the down position, gun post
set to end of the left-hand position of travel) press the emergency stop button then hold reset switch until they
return.

Ensure nothing is obstructing the traverse/gun post and keep clear of the gun post when operating reset.

13.5 Spray Gun Setting

Set the gun distance between the gun and the panel holder. It is possible to position the gun central to the
panel holder by first turning the traverse speed control to a low figure, pressure the emergency stop button
then operate manual left/right until the gun is in front of the panel holder.

If this procedure is followed reset must be actioned prior to start, machine will only start from starting position
as previously mentioned.

Fill the gun reservoir with the previously prepared sample material (paint, varnish etc.)
Using the “Manual Spray switch position check the gun pressure is correct by noting the gauge reading on
the control panel, adjust as necessary using the pressure regulator gauge.
With the manual spray switch “ON” check spay gun settings for optimum fluid and air delivery to achieve the
required atomisation, next switch to “Off”.
NOTE. THIS CAN ONLY BE OPERATED FOLLOWING EMERGENCY STOP.

13.6 Traverse Speed

16.0 Product Compliances

16.1 Functional Compliance
The Pneumatic Panel Sprayers comply to the requirements of ASTM D823/A

16.2 Safety Compliance

The instruction manual should be kept in proximity to where the instrument operates and should be visible
and accessible at any time of operation.

In addition to the information contained in the instruction manual, general and local regulations for accident
prevention and environmental protection shall be kept available and observed. Always ensure all guidelines
in respect of safety and dangers on the instrument are in readable condition.

16
In case of danger the instrument has to be switched off by means of the on / off switch or by unplugging the
mains power, then the danger should be eliminated.

Dangers from Electrical Energy:

• Work on the electrical supply may only be done by a qualified electrician.

• The electrical equipment of the instrument must be checked regularly. Loose connections and damaged
cables must be corrected immediately.

• Always make sure the instrument’s power is turned off while adjusting any electrical component.

• Make sure that no paint or other liquids are spilled on the electronics

Modifications to the Equipment:

• Any modifications or additions or alterations to the instrument may solely be made with permission from the
manufacturer otherwise the warranty will be void.

• Instruments which are not in fault-free condition must immediately be switched off

• Only use replacement parts from the original supplier. Parts used from other sources aren’t guaranteed to
take the loading and meet the safety requirements.

17.0 Associated Products

To contribute towards obtaining consistent film application we recommend the following products:

17.1 Test Panels

We offer a range of steel and aluminium panels for the Sprayers to ensure constancy of the
surfaces for film application.

17.2 Wet film thickness gauges

To obtain the optimum Panel Sprayer settings (speed of application, panel lift, gun settings.)
these gauges offer a quick method of checking the wet film thickness at the application stage.
This is partially important when in determining the % loss between wet and subsequent dry
film thickness.

17.3 Further information on Accessories

For further information on these products, also for products for use after the coating film has cured. (Dry film
Thickness Gauges, Gloss, Opacity and Colour Meters) visit our website www.tqcsheen.com

17
18.0 Maintenance
18.1 Safety
Any work carried out on mechanical parts within the machine frame should be performed with caution. Please
note that cover panels are NOT safety interlocked so the system should be isolated from mains air pressure
using the ISOLATION SWITCH (inside right hand side panel).

To operate, press the cap down and this will vent the system.

NOTE: To reset isolation switch press orange button inside cap.

18.2 Compressed Air Filter

The filter is intended to remove moisture from the mains air supply. As water collects in the bowl of the filter
it is necessary to regularly check the filter bowl to ensure that water does not accumulate to such an extent
that it could enter the control system. This may be caused by a particularly damp supply or a sudden surge
in the moisture content. To manually release accumulated water, the water release valve at the base of the
bowl should be unscrewed one or two turns. The valve should never be fully unscrewed. Tighten the valve
again after the water has drained.

18.3 Traverse Assembly

WARNING: In the event of any adjustment being made, main air must be disconnected.

With traverse cylinder mounted onto frame and gun post assembly fitted carryout following checks:
1. Check for free and smooth movement in both directions – Set Speed controller to a low figure e.g. 10-
20. Press emergency stop any operate manual left/right switch.
2. Check for no lateral movement of carriage by pushing and pulling gun post.
The carriage slide system can be adjusted if necessary as detailed below.
To adjust the carriage slide loosen grub screw, these lock adjusting screws.
If carriage is loose:
1. Slacken screws “A”.
2. Turn screws “B” clockwise in small increments ensuring even adjustment.
3. Tighten screws ”A”.
Reverse if carriage is too tight.

18
18.4 General Inspection
• Check for air leaks.
• Inspect brushes for wear.
• Check panel lift assembly is secure.
• Check the security of the earth stud connection.

18.5 Fault finding

The level of fault finding is limited to checking that the main functions are operating correctly and conducting
elementary level inspection and checking.

Pneumatics Engineer
For full investigation of finding faults the skills level required is that of a trained pneumatics engineer this is
outside the general scope of the customer’s operators and engineers, should the occasion arise when a full
investigation is required please contact our Service Dept. who will be able to advise accordingly.

The nature of the fault finding listed in this manual is first stage investigation, this will enable the local
engineer to check that the operator settings are functioning correctly and can relay the information to TQC
Sheen Service engineers.

18.6 Pre-Fault Finding Checks

Prior to fault finding check the following:

1) Main air supply on at 6 – 6.5 bar (90 to 100 psi).

2) Counters are reset and pre-set value is not less than 1.
3) Manual/auto switch is set to AUTO.
4) Check for air leaks. (Supply line, couplings etc.)

In the event of a fault occurring reset the sprayer to its start condition in the following manner:

1) Press the emergency stop

2) Switch the reset on and hold until both LIFT and TRAVERSE cylinders are returned to their start positions.

18.7 Panel Sprayer Fault Finding

Machine will not start when START button is pressed:

• Check the air supply to the machine is supplying approximately 6.5 bar (100PSI)
• Check the machine is turned on
• Check the machine is reset fully
• Check the lift cylinder carriage is fully retracted and is sitting on limit switch. If carriage is on the
switch then the switch could be faulty.

18.8 Traverse faults

When the start button is pressed, the traverse cylinder should go from left to right.

• If the cylinder goes from left to right, sprays, and then returns straight away then check the
counter is set up. Check the counter is not giving a continuous output by removing the A output
pipe from the coats counter, and checking that air is coming from the counter. If air is coming
from the output, try resetting the machine and also press the manual reset button on the front
of the counter. If the fault still occurs, a new counter will be required.

19
 • If the machine traverses from left to right then returns straight away then lifts then repeats this
until it reaches the number of passes then returns to the start position, this is usually caused
by one of the logic elements on the logic module become faulty. This will require changing and
the services of an service engineer.

• If the traverse travels one way fast and back the other way slow, the cylinder seals could be
worn. To check this, open the door on the machine and listen for air leaks from the cylinder.
Also, the internal seals could be worn. To check these turn the air supply off to the machine
and disconnect the pipes to the cylinder. Apply an air supply to one end of the cylinder (turn
air on slowly), the cylinder should then traverse to the other end if air still comes out of the
cylinder once it has reached the end then the seals are worn. Repeat for the other end of the
cylinder.

18.9 Machine Stops in Mid Cycle (Lift Cylinder Faults)

If the machine stops during the cycle check:

1) The speed of the lift cylinder is not too quick when it lifts, this can cause the magnetic reed switches on
the carriage to miss the contacts, which will in turn stop the machine. To adjust the speed of the cylinder
there is a flow restrictor at the top and the bottom of the cylinder which when adjusted will speed up or
slow down the cylinder.

2) Check the magnetic switches are set up properly, e.g. the distance between the switch and the switch
contact (gap should be between 1mm/2mm).

3) Check the switches are working (when the switch gives an output, the indicator button should be sticking
out. If not, replace the switch.

4) If the cylinder is not lifting try adjusting the flow restrictors on the cylinder, and adjust the cylinder carriage
by loosening the ten adjusting screws on the side of the carriage.
