Introduction:
The AT series guns are one of the most advanced state of the art guns introduced
into the composites industry. The AT gun series features low maintenance, few
adjustments, superb quality and a long service life. These guns will assist you in the
production of a superior product. The AT series guns are “air trigger” guns. As the
gun trigger is pulled air is shifted from one side of a piston to the other, the pistons
are attached to the gun needles and thus opens and closes the needles. The ATC
chopper has a poppet valve which is pushed when the resin needle moves to the
open position this allows the chopper air to be turned on and off by pulling the
trigger.
