Introducing the SATA jet X
Precision, Balance, and Innovation Redefined
SATA has taken a bold leap forward in spray gun innovation with the launch of the jet X—an entirely reimagined tool created to set new industry standards. Designed from the ground up, the jet X departs from conventional design approaches and delivers a fresh platform built for today’s demanding refinish environment.
“As part of that redesign, we've removed over 50 grams from the gun's weight,” said Chris Springer, National Accounts & Industry Relations manager at SATA USA Inc. “While previous generations of SATA spray guns included incremental changes and refinements, it wasn't a complete redesign — they continued commonality through the design.”
A Model for Every Painter
Available in four models—the jet X allows painters to choose the right spray gun for them.
“From an atomization standpoint, all four models are identical,” Springer explained. “The differences come down to which digital features or accessories the painter wants.”
BASIC: Analog only, no digital gauge compatibility (can add a gauge at the bottom air inlet), no quick detach trigger.
DIGITAL Ready: Pre-configured to accept either of the adam X gauges. No gauge is included, quick detachable trigger.
DIGITAL: This comes with the adam X, and quick detachable trigger.
DIGITAL Pro: This comes with the adam X pro, and quick detachable trigger.
Digital Innovation
The adam X is a simple digital pressure gauge that displays the current inlet pressure and ambient temperature. This option is great for painters who want a digital readout but don’t need advanced features.
As SATA’s most advanced digital pressure gauge, the adam X pro offers more enhanced precision and a broader range of features including one- or two-gun mode, target pressure, temperature, spray time and number of trigger pulls. It has the ability to track the user data on SATA’s adamxpro.sata.com website by scanning the on-screen QR code.
When purchased, both the adam X and adam X pro are in transportation mode. For the adam X, plug it into air above 29psi for 30 seconds. This takes the gauge out of transportation mode.
The adam X Pro comes with a red cover on the gauge, simply remove the cover and it is ready to spray. Be sure to keep the red cover – it is used to put the gauge back into transport mode when needed.
Both the adam X and adam X Pro have a stand-by mode built in, extending battery life.
Advanced Airflow, Superior Results
Most spray guns in the industry use the same airflow design — air is put into the bottom of the gun, and it continues a forward progression until it goes out the front of the gun. The airflow of the jet X differs because it uses an innovative “labyrinth” airflow system.
“As the air is flowing through the nozzle set of the jet X, the labyrinth airflow system changes the direction of the air at the fluid nozzle and makes it flow backwards, then forward again,” Springer said. “By curving the air, it removes turbulence or pulsation of the paint material.”
The result of the labyrinth system is exceptionally fine and homogeneous atomization with unprecedented control.
Innovation in Every Detail
Another feature is the detachable trigger. This trigger easily comes off and has an integrated wrench for the fluid tip. “It’s a concept that’s relatively unseen in the industry,” Springer said.
Another change on the jet X is the location of the air piston and air micrometer.
“Previously, with the air piston, there were springs and seals in there,” Springer said. “Now it's a three-in-one unit and easy to change out.”
Unlike older models, the needle passes through the air piston. “Because the air piston and fluid needle are all in the same path, the feel is very smooth,” Springer said. “It's a distinct difference when it's in your hand. As soon as the painter pulls the trigger, they're like, ‘Oh, that's different.’”
The air micrometer is now positioned at the bottom of the gun. The redesigned micrometer also features an integrated swivel.
Performance-Driven Partner
Whether you opt for the entry-level BASIC model or going all-in with the DIGITAL pro, the jet X delivers. This spray gun is more than just a tool; it’s performance-driven designed to raise the quality of work in every paint booth it enters.
