Overview
The Tiger is our highly efficient linear format wet blasting, rinsing and drying system. It is suitable for the most sophisticated and demanding of high-capacity production environments and provides maximum levels of process control and consistency. It combines several process steps into one automated system to significantly boost throughput.
Key features include:
• Fully automatic in-line wet blasting, cleaning and drying system optimised for tooling applications
• Up to 20 component pallets (or 40kg (88.2 lbs) max. load) can be stored in the auto-load unit
• Automatically loads, wet blasts, multi-stage spray rinses, ultrasonic washes, dries and unloads components
• Sophisticated process control and monitoring
• Recipe driven parameter setting and post-process reporting
• Different processes and up to 999 blast recipes can be developed, stored and used when required for different component batches
• Extremely consistent and reproducible processing within +/-5μm (0.2 thou)
• High quality stainless steel cabinet, made from corrosion resistant high-grade stainless steel, offering a watertight enclosure
• Vapormatt 4.0 enabled for remote and predictive/preventative maintenance tasks - maximising production up-time
