Overview
The Tiger + is the ultimate linear wet blasting system. This technically advanced machine is self-contained and top of the line for edge preparation, surface conditioning, cleaning and drying. It has two independent blast chambers, so it is possible to run two separate processes, for example cleaning cutting tools in the first chamber and applying an edge hone in the second. Alternatively, the same process can be run in both chambers to half the processing time by doubling throughput. Ideal for medium to high production capacities.
Key features include:
• Fully automatic in-line wet blasting, cleaning and drying system optimised for tooling applications
• Automatically loads, wet blasts, multi-stage spray rinses, ultrasonic washes, dries and unloads components
• Dual independent blast chambers allow for different production processes and recipes in each chamber, or the same process in both chambers for increased throughput
• Extremely consistent and reproducible processing within +/-5μm (0.2 thou)
• Components are held in industry-standard pallets and transported through the Tiger+ by conveyor belts
• Vapormatt 4.0 enabled for remote diagnostics - maximising production up-time
Industries
• Cutting tools
Applications
• Edge honing 70μm (2.8 thou) +/- 10% or +/- 5μm (0.2 thou) whichever is the larger.*
• De-burring to remove burrs without dimensional change
• Surface cleaning/skin removal to enhance coating adhesion
• Polishing, pre and post coating
• Selective coating removal
• Peening for coating internal stress profile enhancement
• Suitable for replaceable inserts of varying geometries
