RECIPROCATORS (GUN MOVERS)
Horizontal & Vertical Reciprocators
When the finishing line requires automation and the production rate or product mix are not conducive to a robot system, reciprocators (gun movers) are often used. The best reciprocator features ultra-heavy duty components, large load carrying capacity and a control system that offers versatility and expandability.
Reciprocators are primarily configured into short and long stroke configurations and are orientated either vertically or horizontally. Short stroke systems usually carry heavier spray guns like rotary atomizers and long stroke machines move air atomized, air airless, or HVLP tools.
