Mg Weight Setup - Multiple Modules

NOTE: This function monitors the coating weight applied to cans using a software algorithm and the calibration data. It should be used for reference only.

This function can be used for Spray Machines that include more than one Spray Monitor. When a MEG spray gun is used, the actual milligram (mg) weight displayed is typically accurate to +/- 1 mg at +/- 20 psi base pressure. If the base pressure increases or decreases more than 20 psi, then the Spray Monitor must be recalibrated. Other coating system variables may also affect the accuracy of this function.

Follow these steps to enable and configure mg weight monitoring for multiple Spray Monitors:

  1. Icon_TOOLS.JPG Touch the System Configuration button on the main window button bar to open the system dropdown menu.

  2. Icon_CALIBRATE.JPG Touch Calibrate Multiple Spray Monitor Guns and calibrate the Spray Monitors for which you want to monitor mg weight. Weigh the cans coated during the calibration procedure and calculate the average weight applied. If the applied weight is not satisfactory, adjust your system to obtain the desired coating weight and calibrate again.

  3. Icon_mg_enable.jpg Select Setup mg from the system dropdown menu. The mg weight dialog opens.

  4. Select the spray machine with the Spray Monitors you calibrated from the top dropdown.

  5. Select the Spray Monitors that you want to monitor mg weight, then
