"Best Tool In The Industry for Painters" : Ion Spot Anti-Stat Gun

Pro Spot's new Ion Spot Anti-Stat Gun premiered at the latest SEMA show. For anyone who missed it, we wanted to give you a chance to see what all the hype is about! 

What is the Ion Spot Anti-Stat Gun?

The Ion Spot is a tool designed for the painter who wants to eliminate static electricity from any material that is being readied for painting. The tool can be used on all surfaces where electrostatic discharge is a problem - plastic, aluminum, or steel! 
The tool works on compressed air only, has no electrical input, no batteries, and no charging devices.

Removing the static electrical charge from the workpiece keeps dust and other particles from collecting on the ‘to be painted’ surface and provides a cleaner and smoother finished painted surface.

Benefits:
  • Eliminate static and dust in seconds
  • Drastically cuts down on detail labor due to less color sanding and polishing needed after the paint process
  • Improve metallic control for ease of color blending
  • Reduce additional chemicals and cleaners needed to suppress static
  • Greatly reduces dry edges
  • Improves paint adhesion
  • Reduces prep time before paint, only one pass required to remove dust and static particles
  • Approved for use in class 1 Div 1 locations (spray area and booth)

How Does the Ion Spot Work?

The Ion Spot ionizing Anti-Stat Gun is safe to use, has the CE safety certifications, EX-ATEX, and is non-hazardous.

There are several different types of ionization or methods on how ions are produced: 

The plasma discharge ionization used in the Ion Spot must not be confused with other ionization methods such as chemical ionization, electrochemical (corona discharge) ionization thermal ionization or the various forms of radioactive ionization in which radioactive decay ionizes alpha, beta, gamma or X particles. 

The positive and negative ions that the Ion Star produces have a half life period of less than a second. The ions remain in the air and in the spray booth for just long enough to neutralize the static on the workpiece, after which they lose their energy, dissipate into the atmosphere and cease to exist. 

Note: The Ion Spot works best at 40 psi, though the unit has a working range from 40 psi to 90 psi. The unit will notify the user with a flashing red light if the pressure is too low, or too high.

TECH TIP: SP MIG 'Hot Start': The Why & How!

SP MIG 'Hot Start': The Why & How! The Benefits & Programming of the SP Pulse MIG Welder's Hot Start Function. Quick Overview It's no secret that welding aluminum is different than steel. One of the biggest differences is how heat is dissipated on aluminum. Steel: Heat stays confined to the area where the heat is applied. Aluminum: Heat rapidly transfers throughout the material.  This causes what is known as a " Cold Start ";  the beginning of the weld bead is weak due to not enough heat at the start causing poor penetration. To counter this we have two options:  Tail-In Method -   You start the weld outside and move in toward the weld join so that the material is pre-heated allowing proper penetration.  Hot Start function  - The cleanest way to program it and avoid the cold start. (See VIDEO below) Solution :  The SP series MIG welder's " Hot Start Function ",...

TECH TIP: How to Save Your Aluminum Wire

Image
Proper storage for aluminum wire when not in use is KEY to making it last longer and for producing quality welds!  Aluminum  oxidizes rapidly , and this can cause issues with weld quality and overall strength of repair.  When oxidation forms on the aluminum wire it will disrupt the arc and will be nearly impossible to maintain a proper arc. ALUMINUM WIRE WILL GO BAD IF NOT STORED PROPERLY  NO MATTER HOW LITTLE IT IS USED   Although Aluminum is becoming more abundant during production, depending on the shop, Aluminum welding may not be a regular occurrence like steel is. Proper wire storage is very important when not in use, as the aluminum  oxidizes rapidly  and this can cause issues with weld quality and overall strength of repair. This is something that is often an after thought or overlooked in the shop, and blame gets placed on welder instead of looking at the wire. When Aluminum welding wire is not in us...
