Explosion Hazard –
Incompatible Materials
Halogenated hydrocarbon sol-
vents for example: methylene
chloride and 1,1,1,-Trichloroethane are not chemically
compatible with the aluminum
that might be used in many system components. The chemical
reaction caused by these solvents reacting with aluminum
can become violent and lead to
an equipment explosion.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety
Data Sheet supplied by coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the
air free of accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a
chance of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask
must be compatible with the material being
sprayed and its concentration. Equipment must
be as prescribed by an industrial hygienist or
safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
Aluminum is widely used in other spray application equipment - such as material pumps,
regulators, triggering valves, etc. Halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents must never be used with
aluminum equipment during spraying, ushing,
or cleaning. Read the label or data sheet for the
material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to
whether or not a coating or cleaning material is
compatible, contact your coating supplier. Any
other type of solvent may be used with aluminum
equipment.

INTRODUCTION
Evolver 303 Robotic Atomizers - Introduction
THE RANSBURG
ELECTROSTATIC
PROCESS
This process is a method for electrostatically applying coatings to objects. A power supply produces
a high voltage charge which is supplied to the
applicator, creating an electrostatic eld between
the applicator and the target object. The target
is electrostatically grounded through its support
which may be either stationary or moving.
A regulated uid system delivers coating material
to the applicator, where it is atomized forming
a spray mist. There, under the inuence of the
electrostatic eld, the atomized coating becomes
electrostatically charged. The charged particles
are attracted to and deposited on the grounded
target object. The forces between the charged
particles and the target are sufcient to turn overspray around and deposit it on the back surface
of the target. Therefore, a higher percentage of
the spray is deposited.
EVOLVER 303™
SOLVENTBORNE SPRAY
APPLICATORS
The Evolver 303 Spray Applicators System
will allow for the use of spray applicators or bell
applicators with minimal required down-time
during the switching process. This system can
also operate as a spray applicator system only
that later can be upgraded to allow for bell applicators to be used. Lastly, this system can
allow a user currently possessing an RMA-303
bell system to use spray applicators as well, with
minimal conver-sion required. The Evolver 303
Solventborne Applicator line consists of both
60° and 90° single and dual-headed 100 kV automatic electrostatic applicators. Developed for
use on robots, the Evolver 303 spray applicator
incorporates a unique 1/3 turn quick-disconnect
spray head and a one piece slide over manifold
cover, providing the user an efcient tool for the
electrostatic application of coatings.
There are two single head models of the Evolver
303 Applicator (see Figure 1). Each model differs
in the applicator to axis orientation of the spray
head. These models are:
A11976-0XX 60° Single Head
A11976-1XX 90° Single Head
Two dual-head versions of the Evolver 303 Applicator are also available (see Figure 1). The
dual headed applicators are primarily used where
high volume uid delivery is required. The dual
headed applicator is available in two different
congurations as follows:
A11976-2XX 60° Dual Head
A11976-3XX 90° Dual Head
AA-07-03.2

Evolver 303 Robotic Atomizers - Introduction
Ransburg
The Evolver 303 Spray Applicator System consists
of four major components:
1. Quick-Disconnect Spray Head
2. Gun Head Mounting Block Assembly
3. Valve Manifold Assembly (Includes the High
Voltage Cascade with a Quick-Disconnect
Ring)
4. Rear Tubing Manifold Assembly (both English
and Metric)
The spray head(s) and valve manifold contain
the uid, air, and high voltage passages. All uid
passages contain stainless steel and/or nylon
ttings, compatible with halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. The robot manifold incorporates
stainless steel uid connections.
The high voltage cascade is entirely encapsulat-
ed with a solvent resistant epoxy. This cascade
generates voltages up to 100 kV fed by a low
voltage cable.
NOTES
There are three sources for the high voltage
supply to the Evolver 303 Applicators:
• MicroPak™ Control Unit (LECU5004)
• Stand-alone control/power supply unit
(A10406)
• MicroPakTM Control Unit (LECU5004-31)
The MicroPak Power Supply Control unit provides
a low voltage signal through the robot manifold to
the spray applicator. The high voltage cascade
located within the applicator converts the low
voltage DC signal to a high voltage electrostatic
output.

APPLICATOR AND
MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY
(See Figures 4, 5, and 6)
The tubing, hose, and low voltage cable come
bundled from the factory. Pull the bundle through
the robot spacer plate and robot wrist carefully
to prevent any cuts on the cable or hoses. Use
the six (6) socket head cap screws (76566-24C)
included with the rear manifold tubing assembly
to attach the rear manifold assembly (A12000 or
A11061) to the robot spacer plate (see Table 1).
Connect each signal line as required per "Signal
Identication Tables (English and Metric) Tubing
Bundles" in the "Installation" section.
Rear Plate Assembly
The rear plate assembly is designed to be at
ground potential when mounted to the robot plate
component within the tubing bundle assembly.
The air and uid ports are compactly oriented
for use in robotic applications. The interior air
supplies are ported through the ve (5) support
rods and also directly tubed to the upper manifold
assembly. On the exterior side of the rear plate,
the ports are provided with o-ring seals so that
the applicator can be quickly mated and secured
to the robot plate
Robot Plate
The robot plate is a component of the tubing bundle
assembly and intended to be permanently mounted
to the robot. A wrist adapter is also available, which
matches the robot's mounting conguration. The
incoming air lines, uid lines, low voltage cable,
and ber optic cable are connected to the ttings
provided on the back of the robot plate. The rear
plate of the applicator assembly is secured to the
robot plate with a threaded retaining ring.
screws fail and the applicator will break free. This
will leave the break-away ring and the mounting
ring attached to the robot.
Power Supply and Controls
The high voltage cascade located inside the Evolver 303 is controlled by the MicroPak control unit.
The low voltage ouput of the MicroPak is multiplied
by the internal cascade to the high voltage level
required. This eliminates the need for a high voltage cable. A low voltage cable interconnects the
cascade and the MicroPak control. The MicroPak
Eurocard format is designed to t in a conventional
19-inch or 1- inch rack and requires a 24V power
input at a maximum 3 amps. The MicroPak and
the internal cascade will produce voltages up to
100,000VDC.
The MicroPak is designed to electronically limit
current to provide safe operation in a spray booth.
The voltage and current draw of the applicator are
continuously displayed on the MicroPak control
panel. Voltage and over-current limits are adjust-able on the front of the MicroPak. MicroPak
internal safety circuits will shut down the system
on over-current and cable faults.
With additional control modules, all of the functions
of the Evolver 303 and MicroPak can be controlled
by a programmable controller. A Serial Digital
Module pneumatically controls the paint and
dump valves located on the applicator. An I/O
module provides communication between these
modules and the PLC.
The above modules are mounted in one 19-inch
rack and interconnected through a common
mother board.
Break-Away Feature (Optional)
The Evolver 303 can be converted to have a break-
away feature, by replacing the ve (5) stainless
steel screws with ve (5) special designed plastic
screws (77524-00). This feature is meant to reduce the damage to the applicator, robot, etc. If
a collision occurs, the ve (5) plastic break-away

Robot Spacer Plate
The robot spacer plate is included with the robot
manifold assembly to increase life of the tubing
bundle. The extra spacing it provides increases
the bend radius of the tubes and decreases the
hose or cable stress at the connector.
There is only one way the spacer plate may be
assembled to the mounting plate. The spacer
plate has an alignment pin that may only engage
in one hole position in the robot mount plate. This
provides the nal position to top dead center of
the robot.
Six (6) robot spacer plates shown in Table 1 are
available for this product.

SPRAY / BELL
APPLICATOR
TRIGGERING
If you are currently using an RMA-303 bell applicator system and want to add the Evolver 303
spray applicator system to spray using the same
tubing bundle, a simple conversion must be made
in order to allow for switching between spray and
bell applicators. Figure 7 shows the recommended system that should be placed in the bearing
air line between the main air input and the robot
manifold plate. It is suggested that this circuit
be placed on the robot arm. This system should
also be used when the user is implementing the
Evolver 303 spray applicator system and plans to
use RMA-303 bell applicators as well.
In Figure 7, the trigger solenoid must be an electronically activated, normally closed valve with
exhaust, or a 3-way valve, with 100 psi max.,
24VDC. Typically this solenoid already exists in
the robot arm and can be used in this circuit. The
spray applicator trigger/bearing air select valve
must be a pneumatically activated, normally open
solenoid. A suggested solenoid is P/N 11678-01.
An additional solenoid must be used to activate the
PT (Paint Trigger) valve. If any of these solenoids
are located inside a hazardous area, they must
be explosion proof.

TUBING BUNDLE
INSTALLATION
Typically, the tubing bundle is pulled through the
robot arm from the robot wrist side. Keep the
bundle taped except for the portion of the bundle
that will be inside the arm. Pull the tubing through
the wrist and arm, leaving about 250mm (10") of
tubing sticking out of the front of the wrist plate
(see Figure 8).
Fasten the cable bundle in the robot at the rear
exit of the arm. Push the robot spacer plate and
applicator mounting plate to the robot wrist plate
aligning the top dead center marks of the spacer
plate and robot wrist plate. Fasten using appropriate screws. Installing the tubing bundle in this
fashion will increase tubing bundle life signicantly.
BUNDLE LUBRICATION
When the tubing bundle is installed, it should be
lubricated with a generous amount of lubricant to
increase the service life of the tubes. A recommended lubricant is Shell Alvania EP #02. There
are other lubricants that are available for use.
Prior to using a lubricant, ensure it is silicone free,
resists heat breakdown, and is compatible with
the materials being applied.
