SECKLER robosandero is designed for the automatic microblasting of simple to complex parts ranging in size up to approximately 60 x 60 x 100 mm. This is a microblasting system with up to four individually programmable and adjustable blasting guns that provide the flexibily and adaptability for precise, uniform and repeatable part finish.
- High flexibility – Thanks to the user-friendly programming, this cell is suitable for microblasting of small parts in a wide range of shapes and variants
- Better process controlling – Continuos blasting agent flow and reduction of blasting agent consumption
- High and repetitive quality – The desired surface texture can be achieved reliable and replicable with flexible parameters
The operator manually loads parts onto pallets and then places the pallet into the two drawers. The two drawers are a standard feature of the system for feeding parts into and out of the system. Other infeed/outfeed options are available, which include a pallet conveyor and pallet stacking system.
The robot picks a raw part from the pallet and guides the part through a sleeve that is located in the flexible wall between the robot and microblasting chamber. The sleeve in the wall and the robot end-efector couple together to create a seal allowing the part to be microblasted without exposing the robot or area outside the microblasting chamber to the blasting media or dust.
The flexible wall is made of an abrasion-resistant material that can handle the abrasive media and also allow the 6-axis robot the freedom to manipulate the part as needed during the microblasting process to get the best results for each unique part type.
After the blasting process has been completed, the part is thoroughly blown off in the blasting chamber and then placed back into the pallet. The cycle repeats until all the parts have been processed in the pallet.
Once the pallet of parts have been microblasted, the robot will automatically move to the second pallet of parts and begin picking parts for microblasting. While the robot is servicing the second pallet, the operator can remove the pallet of finished part from the drawer and insert the next pallet to be processed.
