MicroBlasting for Production Environments
When a manual MicroBlasting system cannot provide the output or meet your tolerance requirements; Comco’s automated systems deliver all the benefits of a manual system with greater precision and efficiency. Both the Advanced Lathe and the JetCenter are designed for the steady processing of precision parts. Each automated system is customizable from a proven platform and delivered as a turnkey solution.
Philosophy Behind Our Design
The abrasive environment creates a unique challenge for parts-handling. Very fine abrasive media traveling at a high velocity affects all that it touches, including your blast system’s interior. The key points behind our design philosophy:
Keep abrasive away from motion components and other sensitive components.
Use both gravity and airflow to move abrasive out of the blast chamber as quickly as possible.
Make wear points as durable as possible and easily replaceable.
Keep the abrasive focused on the part to avoid overspray and the wear and waste associated with it.
MicroBlasting uses very hard and very fine media–as hard as diamonds and as fine as moondust. Most off-the-shelf systems are designed for bigger particles at slower speeds, so these systems may not be abrasive-resistant to MicroBlasting media. We have over 50 years’ experience designing and producing rugged blasting equipment ready for these unique circumstances.
