MP-50 Digital Series

The MP-50 Digital Series represents the latest generation Multi-Process Thermal Spray System and is based on the successful HV-50 (HVOF) and AP-50 (Plasma) models. The MP-50 offers unsurpassed process control and thermal spray operation flexibility and is one of the most reliable coatings systems available on the market today.

The MP-50 Digital Series is developed to meet the increasing customer demands for process control, system flexibility, safety features and the unnecessary duplication of system peripherals while simultaneously offering truly outstanding value.

The MP-50 Digital Series is built to the highest technology standards to ensure optimum system performance and, therefore, maximum coating quality and reproducibility. The MP-50 is capable of controlling plasma, HVOF and combustion spray processes such as flame wire and flame powder.

The MP-50 Digital Series is built to meet the highest safety standards. Besides several self-diagnostics functions and safety sensors that are implemented in the system, additional safety features for all system subcomponents can be installed and interlocked with the control unit.

MP-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 and ES-flow controllers for all liquid fuels.
Remote diagnostics minimizing the system failure analyzing efforts, through the use of eWon technology.
The MP-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 and HVOF spray guns
Master control integration and operation of FST powder feeders
Fully compliant with all relevant CE and UL directives
