ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for independent voltage, air pressure, and/or fluid pressure control of multiple material or coating applicators, such as paint spray guns, includes a multiple gun control board that allows a single power supply to provide voltage to a plurality of paint guns and an independent gun control board that can output a different voltage signal for each gun to generate different gun operating voltages, different air pressures, and/or different fluid pressures. The independent gun control board includes a separate relay and potentiometer for each gun to be controlled. The potentiometer is adjustable so that the output voltage of the independent gun control board can be varied. The output voltage can be used to control the paint spray gun operating voltage and/or be sent to a pressure transducer to adjust the air and/or fluid pressure at which the triggered gun operates. The present invention therefore allows independent voltage and/or pressure control of each gun without requiring each gun to have its own separate power supply and pressure regulator, greatly reducing space and the number of components needed to operate multiple guns.
