Rxs900 RB Robot Loaded Blast Machine Operates Unattended Video

Guyson Corporation has integrated a robotically loaded automatic blast system with external component handling accessories that allow the installation to run up to one hour without an operator present.

The Model RXS-900 indexing table blast machine has six rotary spindles and two active blasting stations inside the process chamber. Two clusters of four suction-blast guns are bracketed in position at both blast stations at the correct angles and distances for coverage of the upper and lower faces of the disk-like components, and the pre-arranged guns traverse horizontally at programmed speed and stroke by means of a roof-mounted linear actuator. The blast system is designed to recognize disks of various standard diameters and automatically recall and execute the nozzle motion program associated with that size component.

A Fanuc M-10iA robot fitted with a vacuum gripper is positioned on a pedestal in front of the blast machine within reach of two in-feed carriages and a take-away belt conveyor. A perimeter cage with safety interlocked access doors excludes workers from the load/unload zone.
