Working with a robotic systems and camera manufacturer to provide a flexible Ex p solution for cameras in automotive painting applications

 
Project Brief

Provide a flexible Purge & Pressurization (Ex p) solution for a range of multi-camera systems that are installed alongside automotive painting robots to monitor paint quality and detect defects.

 

Challenges
  • Flexibility to protect multiple cameras with a single purge & pressurization system, to reduce footprint and complexity
  • Ensure that series purging would be effective, and meet code requirements, when the system was expanded from 2 to 4 cameras for larger vehicle applications
  • Careful attention to air flow, especially from system relief valves, to ensure that there would be no interference with paint application
  • Class I Div 1 solution required due to the continuous presence of solvent based paints
Outcome
  • Type X purge & pressurization system - suitably sized for purging and pressurizing up to 4 cameras in series.
  • Custom elements to allow series purging and remote location of the relief valves. For more details on series purging of multiple enclosures, read our application note here
