ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for optimizing the transfer efficiency of a compressed air system used to apply liquid coatings (e.g., paint) while producing a high quality film coating. The invention uses a laser measuring system to determine the atomization of a spray produced by a compressed air spray system. The system also monitors and measures the liquid and air being supplied to the spray applicator to determine the settings required for optimization.
