Sagola at Centro Zaragoza: Introducing the new Sagola 4600!

We had the pleasure of attending Centro Zaragoza for a technical session where we introduced our new Sagola 4600. This spray gun represents a significant improvement in atomization and ergonomics, taking application quality to a new level.

With the innovative Dynamic Flow Technology™ (DFT), the Sagola 4600 delivers finer atomization and a more uniform finish, all while reducing weight to enhance user comfort. During the session, we demonstrated both the digital and standard versions, highlighting the advantages of our four nozzles and the ease of maintenance, enhanced by the Metal to Metal™ (M2M) technology. This system eliminates the need for seals and plastic parts in the fluid area, reducing wear and tear, simplifying cleaning, and ultimately lowering maintenance costs while increasing reliability.

We also showcased the Altair LED lighting system, which provides optimal visual control to ensure the highest quality in every application.
Thank you to Centro Zaragoza for the opportunity to showcase our latest innovations firsthand!

The future of painting is bright with Sagola

Elcometer – Turning Subjective into Objective

Last week, we had the honor of being part of the jury for Spain Skills, a biennial competition that brings together young professionals in automotive painting, who will shape the future of our industry.

In the final evaluations, two products from Elcometer Inspection Equipment played a crucial role: the Elcometer 415T dry film thickness gauge and the Elcometer 480T gloss meter.

We used the Elcometer 415T thickness gauge to assess the uniformity of the painting. We conducted 15 measurements across the entire surface of the painted piece and focused on the "standard deviation" value provided by the 415T. The lower this value, the more uniform the painting, and thus, the higher the score for the competitor.

Similarly, we used the Elcometer 480T gloss meter to obtain an objective evaluation of the finish quality achieved by each participant.

Subjective concepts such as painting uniformity or appearance, which are typically evaluated by eye, are transformed into objective assessments thanks to Elcometer's measurement equipment. This way, we turn the subjective into objective.

The representative from Cantabria achieved the highest score in the combined assessment of gloss and uniformity, earning his institute the Elcometer prize: an Elcometer 3 inspection kit.

Congratulations!
