ProBell integration: How to expand your control options

Think big, start small. Graco’s scalable design allows you to start with one controller and work your way up to improve performance and data management. The ProBellⓇ can be combined with your own systems or delivered as a part of a fully integrated Graco set-up.

One of the ProBell’s major assets is its versatility in terms of integration. You can seamlessly integrate the atomiser into a ProMix PD platform, ensuring smooth communication with the connected equipment through Graco software updates. Alternatively, it can be driven by a PLC within an existing spray paint set-up.

An overview of the control options

Not everyone has the need or budget for a fully decked-out system. Graco’s unique approach to rotary atomisers makes it easier for you to get exactly what you need within your budget. Depending on your production needs, you could start with just the electrostatic controller, or you may decide to install a complete set-up for full control. All the ProBell control kits are easy to operate.

Electrostatic Controller

Precise control is critical to your rotary atomiser application. Our electrostatic controller keeps you connected to what’s going on every minute of every day, detects unsafe electrostatic conditions and allows you to change parameters quickly and easily to improve performance.

Unique features:

• Voltage and current can be independently adjusted to meet specific manufacturing requirements
• Full system integration with PLC or switch box control
• Improves safety by automatically shutting off electrostatics when the part is too close to the gun

System Logic Controller

The key to the System Logic Controller is that it enables you to control and manage your ProBell at the touch of a button. With 99 presets, the shaping airs, bell rotational speed and electrostatics can be precisely set for various part configurations. System Logic Controllers are always used in conjunction with an Air Controller.

Unique features:

• User-friendly operation of all system functions
• Eliminate guesswork with maintenance reminders and system logs
• Run two ProBell applicators from one controller
• Centralised control of ProBell and fluid management when used with ProMix PD2K Integrated Proportioner

Electronic or Manual Air Controller

When the flow of your shaping air needs to be controlled at all times, the Air Controller allows you to step in and adapt the flow where needed.

Unique features:

• Electronic Model: precision operation and communication for all air controls
• Manual Model: individual regulators for air control

Speed controller

Never lose track of your turbine speed and control every detail of the atomisation process depending on the spray material and the desired quality.

Unique features:

• Precise management of turbine speed for superior material atomisation
• A magnetic speed reader in the bell provides reliable communication
• System logic controller provides user-friendly operation

Always in control

The ProBell control options allow you to manage the spraying process without leaving anything to chance. They will boost performance, improve safety and save you hassle. Not sure which controllers could help you move forward with your specific application? Talk to us.
