Overview
The Oncilla is an innovative wet blasting system designed to consistently and automatically prepare for round shank tools including solid carbide end mills, drill bits, and taps, for vacuum coating.
The machine can cater to a diverse range of customers with varying production capacities, batch sizes, and cleanliness standards. When processed to these quality standards, these tools are well-prepared for subsequent PVD and CVD coating processes.
As a robotic system, the Oncilla enhances repeatability and ensures reliability through its robust, prefabricated stainless steel cabinet, equipped with advanced monitoring systems.
The system features a configurable design, making it versatile for tasks like edge preparation, surface activation, and posttreatment applications.
Key features include:
• High-quality stainless steel blast cabinet offering a very rigid and robust structure.
• This system can produce controlled, consistent edge hones where homogenous edge radii within +/- 3μm can be achieved
• Component surfaces are well prepared for subsequent PVD and CVD coating processes
• Multiple different processes and blast recipes can be developed, stored and used when required for different component batches
• The machines can accommodate round shank tools between 3 - 25.4mm (0.19” - 1”) diameter and 46 - 204mm (1 ¾ - 8”) length.
• Maximum tool weight is 1kg (2.2lb). Minimum tool pick-up length is 25mm (1”)
• Vapormatt 4.0 enabled for remote diagnostics - maximising production up-time
