AP-50 digital series plasma spray system
The AP-50 Digital Series is a stand-alone single process, mass flow controlled (MFC) APS coating system. Built using only state-of-the art components and technologies, the AP-50 is designed to be both reliable and functional and to be used for every type of APS application ranging from R&D, single piece production to high volume production.
AP-50 Digital Series
The AP-50 Digital Series is engineered and built to be the safest atmospheric plasma system available on the market today for continuous and consistent coating production. This is achieved by using the latest safety standards, modular construction separating gasses and fuels from the electrical parts, the use of only first-class materials and closed-loop control of all relevant process parameters such as gas pressures and flows, voltage on the gun, water temperatures, and combustible gas monitoring. Safety interlock integration and e-stops with external equipment such as cooler, part- and gun manipulation units come standard.

AP-50 Digital Series main features:
- Runs on Horizon software:
- FST | Horizon™ operating software
- FST | Horizon™ data reporting on PC
- FST | Horizon™ information centre on PC
- FST | Horizon™ turn-key maintenance scheduler
- System components connected to a single network with digital communication:
- Simatic s7-1500 PLC The process controller is PLC based providing maximum reliability
- No external influence of the signal: Data transfer is based on a 24V signal. Screened cables and required grounding are no longer necessary.
- No measured value losses: The entire measured value transmission is digital. Transmission that is prone to errors and calculation of analogue signals is replaced.
- Easy component replacement: all sensor parameters are stored in the master and transferred to the replaced unit.
- Identification: only like for like replacement. No wrong sensors accepted.
- Wire break detection/diagnosis: wire break or short-circuit is immediately detected.
- Master/slave integration via profinet
- Modular construction enables future expansion of a single-process system to multi-process
- High Definition 22” Touch Screen HMI provides clear and user-friendly access to process control parameters and monitoring functions
- Closed-loop mass flow controllers for all process gases including carrier gas.
- Remote diagnostics minimizing the system failure analyzing efforts, through the use of eWon technology.
- The AP-50 controls all system peripheral or auxiliary components, such as heat exchangers, dust collectors.
- All process-related parameters are closed-loop for maximum coating consistency
- Multiple gun technology; can handle most plasma spray guns
- Master control integration and operation of FST powder feeders
- Fully compliant with all relevant CE and UL directives
AP-50 Digital Series system configurations:
- AP-50-APS
- The AP-50 APS is equipped with the efficient iPS-80 or iPS-50 (80KW or 50 KW) secondary chopped inverter power supply.
