What is the difference between Style and Zone gun triggering?
Zone triggering typically relates to the guns automatically spraying when a photo eye or a light curtain is used to determine the vertical zone is broken or that a part is present in that particular zone (the part opening may be broken into multiple zones). Style triggering generally uses multiple means of sensing in order to identify the part type or style. The guns then trigger on or off based on a recipe or pre-set parameters pre-programmed by the user. The fundamental difference between zone and style is that zone formats do not care what the part is, since they paint by size. Style must recognize each part or family in order to know how to paint.
