RXS-900-RB Robotically Automated Blast Cleaning Cell
When a blasting process is robotically automated, it is common for other automatic processing or inspection equipment to be part of the same cell and for external auxiliary transfer or conveying equipment to be needed. In this example, Guyson designed, built and integrated custom transfer carts that could be loaded from outside the safety enclosure […]
Multi-Tasking Systems
If the range of components to be processed in the blast system includes some that require a different mode of handling, it is sometimes possible to adapt one robotic blast machine to perform multiple dissimilar tasks. In this example, a removable powered roller assembly for processing long hollow-shafted parts can be mounted as needed on […]
Multi-Robot Blast Systems
When the total surface area to be robotically blasted is large, and the available time for processing is short, Guyson can custom-engineer a system in which multiple robots work simultaneously in the same cabinet. In this example, designed for shot blasting automotive chassis weldments, three nozzle-manipulating robots are mounted on pedestals at the rear and […]
RB-800 Drum Spindle-Blast Systems
In this robotic blast machine design, two servomotor-driven spindles are housed in a 180-degree indexing rotary drum. Inside the blast chamber, the fixtured component is purged by core air as it is exposed to the blast from a single pressure-blast nozzle precisely directed by a mid-size robot, such as the ABB IRB-140. Unload/load takes place […]
CONGRATULATIONS TO FRED EBERT ON HIS WIN
The motor sports enthusiasts at Guyson salute Fred Ebert on his win in the Pro Eliminator Class at the NHRA National Dragster Challenge at Lebanon Valley Dragway on June 7, 2015. Fred posted a time of 9.375 seconds for the quarter mile and was clocked at 138.31 MPH in his alcohol-burning ’77 Ford Mustang. That’s […]
THE WET BLAST SYSTEM AS A CLOSED LOOP
Wet blasting equipment is sometimes described as a “closed loop system,” but what does that mean in terms of practical operation and maintenance? This topic is worth some further discussion to clarify the picture. As diagrammed in a previous post to this blog, our wet blast systems are self-contained and do not have a constant […]
AIR-BLAST SYSTEM MEDIA SIZE CONTROL
If your air-blast system is being used for technical surface preparation, and you are trying to consistently produce a specific profile within a narrow range of roughness values, then you need to control the sizing of the media particles that are actually doing the work. The same is true for peening systems, where over-sized or under-sized shot would […]
