Automation levels
Powered turntable with timed blasting.
Turntable plus nozzle oscillation or vertical travel.
Indexing load/blast stations.
Robotic nozzle manipulation for complex parts.
Automatic part clamping, door sequencing and blow-off.
What we evaluate before reusing a cabinet
Internal dimensions and part clearance.
Pressure or suction blast performance and nozzle requirements.
Dust collection and reclaim capacity.
Door/access configuration and automation clearances.
Condition of wear surfaces, controls and safety devices.
When a new cabinet is smarter
If the existing cabinet is undersized, worn out or unable to support the required abrasive flow and duty cycle, starting with new equipment can be more economical than forcing automation onto an unsuitable base machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can automation be added without changing the blast cabinet?
Sometimes. Other applications require door, floor, fixture, penetration or control changes to safely add motion and improve serviceability.
Can one cabinet run several part numbers?
Yes. Fixtures and recipes can be designed for part families when geometry and throughput are compatible.
Can a robot be mounted outside the cabinet?
Yes. External mounting with protected reach through an opening can be appropriate in some layouts and can simplify robot maintenance.
