Not every application relies on spray nozzle accuracy. But if you do, you need to check out the QA systems now in operation at PNR Italy. Their engineering team have designed and built their own QA testing robots and the videos on their website showing the robotic testing in action are fascinating. What’s more important though, is HOW they are using the robots to ensure the quality and operational accuracy of every nozzle PNR produce. For diameter testing, a robot picks up each nozzle on the conveyor belt, then orientates it so a video camera can check it. Using this robot, PNR Italy can check 720 nozzles per hour. That’s around 11,500 nozzles per day! This process is used for both their regular nozzle production line as well as their custom designed nozzles. The PNR production plant also offers specialised robotic testing for nozzle performance. These water tests can check droplet size, flow rates, spray angle and other important quality assurance attributes at speeds of up to 3000 nozzles per day. The PNR robot can also conduct air testing and check component labelling compliance. All tests conducted by PNR include detailed reports which provide a range of statistics such as upper and lower pressure tolerances and flow rates. It’s this attention to detail that ensures PNR Italy are the trusted leaders in the manufacture of spray nozzles across critical industries. It’s also why Tecpro Australia is proud to be the exclusive distributor in Australia and New Zealand.
