Staubli has a range of lightweight couplings that are ideal for use in low-pressure paint spraying applications making changing colours quicker and easier.
The LAK range of connectors has been specifically designed for direct connection on electrostatic or nonelectrostatic low-pressure spray guns and are suitable for both water and solvent based paint and adhesives.
They can be used on both circulating and noncirculating paint systems, accommodating paint pots where fitted.
Typical applications are in automotive body shops (both OEM and end user) as well as in general industry painting applications.
The use of a LAK connector alongside a Staubli RBE or RCS safety coupling for the compressed air line eliminates any chance of cross connection.
The LAK coupling is easy to connect and disconnect, the raised push button used for disconnection can be operated even when wearing protective gloves which is a particularly useful feature.
The plug is drip proof, 4 x 1.5mm oval capillary openings at the end of the plug prevent the paint from dripping when disconnected.
The highly polished, smooth plug profile prevents damage to the seals, even with frequent connection and disconnection.
The LAK has a nominal flow diameter of 4mm and can be specified with a range of thread forms and seal types.
Like all Staubli couplings it is available on next day delivery to all parts of the UK.
