The release of a new SATA flagship spray gun is a very big deal. The new jet X model is all about supporting painters via advanced technology that helps them produce the best possible finish with minimal effort.
Labyrinth airflow system
Building on SATA’s proven X-Nozzle system, the innovative ‘labyrinth airflow system’ sets a new benchmark for atomisation and transfer efficiency. Via precision designed internal passageways, air is guided to the nozzle in such a way that it exits each orifice at exactly the same pressure, as well as being free of turbulence and pulsations. The result is exceptionally fine and consistent atomisation. This offers painters unprecedented control and ease of use thanks to optimised material distribution and an even spray pattern with clearly defined fade-out zones. There is the choice of HVLP or RP technology in SATA’s ‘I’ (‘control’) nozzle system which features a longer spray pattern with an even material distribution. Regardless of the nozzle, the fan dimension remains constant across the full spectrum of nozzle sizes.
Most digital SATA ever
On these models the new digital display screen faces back towards the painter, making the information very easy to read. With a simple 90-degree swivel, the digital unit can be easily removed when cleaning. The adam X digital unit, fitted to the jet X DIGITAL, displays a spread of useful information, including dynamic inlet pressure, ambient temperature, elapsed operating time and battery status. The jet X DIGITAL Pro features a more advanced adam X Pro unit. It’s divided into two levels with the main screen offering a clearly organised display that includes current actual pressure, previously set target pressure, the dynamic pressure that was applied when the trigger was last pulled, deviations between the actual and target pressure in a graphical visualisation and a handy alarm symbol if the actual and target pressure differ by more than 0.2 bar (3 psi). The main screen also houses the statistics and the QR generator for transmitting data to the digital dashboard which lets you analyse and store the most important parameters of the paint process on a PC or smartphone.
Ergonomically tuned to you
Ergonomics have always been a SATA strong-suit and the jet X continues the trend with a fresh, sophisticated design that sits comfortably in the hand and is finely balanced so that it doesn’t become top-heavy, even with a large, full cup. The fact that the new jet X is a substantial 50 grams lighter than its predecessor, the SATAjet X 5500, helps make it a pleasure to move around the job and get into tight spaces. In addition, there are thoughtful design elements everywhere you look, such as the air micrometre adjustment being moved to a more natural and convenient location at the bottom of the handle. For ease of cleaning and maintenance, the trigger can now be removed in one easy step, without tools or snap rings. It’s made from a technical polymer material and has a handy tool moulded into it which is ideal for loosening or tightening the fluid tip.
1 + 2 = 3 year warranty
Once you purchase your jet X, simply registering it on the SATA website will extend the warranty out to three years of coverage! Of course, the jet X is backed up by a full set of spare parts and maintenance items to keep it in tip top condition for many years to come.
The jet X is set to arrive at ANZ SATA distributors early in 2025.
