4.2.1 Tasks of the operating personnel
The following activities must be carried out by the operating personnel during automatic operation in
order to guarantee a smooth, error-free operating process:
Positioning and removing the container
Setting the desired color and selecting the process
Identifying faults and notifying service personnel as needed
4.3 Structure and function of the machine
4.3.1 Components of the machine
The machine consists of the following components:
Welded base frame with four height-adjustable feet
Control panel with stop button
TintONE module (canister unit)
CoolNOZ (dispensing unit)
MoveNOZ (height adjustment for dispensing unit)
4.3.2 Functional description
The operator places a container (e.g. paint pot) on the container shelf. Next, the operator must adjust
the height of the dispensing head unit to suit the height of the container. The dispensing process can be
started as soon as the height sensor has detected the container. The desired composition can be
selected on the control panel. Once the operator has pressed the start button, the color pastes are
dispensed in accordance with the program. The color pastes are dispensed simultaneously because each
color paste or TintOne has its own dispensing nozzle.
Figure 2 All required color pastes are dispensed simultaneously
Once the dispensing process is complete, the operator pulls the dispensing head unit up and then
removes the container.
