Robotic Finishing Machine Blasts Shot or Grit

Guyson Corp. has introduced a new version of its RB-RSSA-8 robotic blast system and has customized it according to the special requirements for cleaning and surface preparation of machined aerospace castings using either shot or grit media.
The new variant of the long-established model has a Fanuc Robotics LR Mate-200iD 6-axis robot mounted on the reinforced back wall of the blast chamber, a position that allows greater reach and motion capability to accommodate the range of components to be processed by the customer. In previous versions, a larger robot is mounted on a pedestal or hung from the roof of the cabinet.
A 24-inch diameter turntable is adapted to accept the component-holding fixtures for all parts to be blasted and is servomotor-driven, so the radial orientation of the component is coordinated as a seventh axis by the robot’s R-30iB controller. A jib crane mounted on the roof of the blast enclosure and a rubber-flapped crane slot facilitate loading of heavy parts onto the table, which is designed with a weight capacity of 250 pounds.
