Handgun and method for applying a coating product as well as station for applying a coating product comprising such a gun

摘要

This manual gun (2) for applying a coating product comprises a high voltage unit (42), designed for electrostatically charge the coating product at a voltage/flow rate characteristic when it is supplied with electric power, and adjustment means (16), for selecting, from among several pre-adjusted voltage/current characteristics, the voltage/current characteristic according to which the product is electrostatically charged. This gun also comprises a control member (10), which is maneuverable between an inactive configuration, where it opposes the application of the coating product and wherein the high voltage unit (42) is not supplied with electric power, and an active configuration, wherein it does not oppose the application of the coating product and wherein the high voltage unit is supplied with electric power. The adjustment means (16) comprise control buttons, giving the possibility of manually adjusting the flow rate of coating product applied by the gun when the control member (10) is in an active configuration and of selecting the voltage/current characteristic when the control member is in an inactive configuration.
