“When we started the project, we wanted to make sure that we built a gun that painters would be happy using,” Wendy Hartley says in this interview with Tim Pennington of FinishingAndCoating.com. ? See and hear how painter-centric design resulted in #Stellair ACE and Stellair?, the first #industrial air spray guns certified for ergonomic performance. ?
I spoke with Wendy Hartley from Graco about their new Stellair paint guns, which received Ergonomics Performance Certification from United States Ergonomics LLC in this video TechTalk at FinishingAndCoating.com that you can view at https://lnkd.in/gMKHDMwD . Wendy says they sent legacy guns to be tested by USE, which used sensors on test painters' arms, wrists, shoulders, and elbows to gain statistical insight into what was comfortable for an operator. “They also interacted with the operator and asked them where they felt pressure points on their hands and stress on their muscles and which applicators made them feel good and which ones didn't,” Wendy says. “The evaluation was the first step, and then the engineers took that information and built it into the spray guns." #finishingandcoating #finishing #coating #liquidcoating #surfacefinishing
