Technical Description

The model PILOT Signier is an all-automatic air-controlled gun operating in combi-
nation with a 3/2-way control valve in the form of hand-, foot- or solenoid-actuated
valves.
Actuation of the 3/2-way valve directs control air into the cylinder inside the gun so
as to open - in sequence - the atomizing air and the material input.
Closing of the 3/2-way valve is followed by the control air escaping from the cylinder
inside the gun, upon which the spring-loaded material control needle returns to its
initial position, where it shuts the material and atomizing air input off.
The material inlet duct of the PILOT Signier can be opened manually so as to per-
mit, for example, cleaning of a clogged material outlet nozzle.
