ITW Gema’s OptiFlex™ Manual Powder Coating Series Wins
Prestigious iF Design Award
Indianapolis, Ind., April 2006 — In March 2006
ITW Gema
AG (St. Gallen, Switzerland) was recognized with the iF (International
Forum) Design Award for the ergonomic and innovative design of the
new OptiFlex™ Manual Powder Coating Series, featuring
the OptiSelect™ FirstPass Power™ Gun.
According
to iF’s website (www.ifdesign.de): “Companies and design
studios deploy the iF seal in their communication campaigns as a
visible symbol of product and service quality. And for buyers of
design-oriented products, the iF seal serves as a decision-making
tool in the marketplace. An iF award is a symbol of a company's
commitment to innovation and its willingness to face the competition.”
Products bearing the iF Design Award label have distinguished themselves
in a world of numerous and complex products. The iF quality seal
is now recognized worldwide and helps end users to select products
that meet the highest standards for quality and design.
Products
recognized in 2006 had to meet the criteria of “Less marketing,
more design.” Winning entries demonstrated the concepts of
simplicity, ease of operation and user friendliness.
ITW Gema ‘s OptiSelect™ Manual Powder Gun,
one of the lightest and most ergonomically balanced hand guns on
the market, emulates these concepts very well. That is why we invite
customers to Power Up Their ProductivitySM with OptiSelect’s
100,000 volts of FirstPass Power.™
Controlling
the system is the OptiStar™ Advanced Control Unit.
OptiStar includes 3 preset programs for flat parts, complicated
parts, or recoat parts, as well as the ability to store 20 custom
programs. OptiStar’s Digital Valve Control (DVC) keeps the
system’s air balanced and regulated at all times, while the
OptiFlow™ High Performance Powder Pump ensures uniform
powder delivery for all applications.
ITW Gema is known throughout the industry for producing the highest
performing powder guns on the market. Now, with the iF Design Award
label proudly displayed on our OptiFlex units, we can say that the
international experts agree!
