The RXS400 Rotary Indexing Spindle blast machine was designed specifically for the work-cell manufacturing environment. With the blast cabinet itself occupying less than 1 square metre of floor space, its footprint is only 900mm wide and 900mm deep, the system is small enough to fit into the most compact manufacturing cell, yet it is capable of precise and repeatable impact treatment in single piece workflow manufacturing operations. The RXS 400 operates with two sealed and abrasion protected ball bearing spindles that index in and out of the blast chamber employing a rotary actuator. Thus allowing maximum efficiency of operation, with one component being loaded during the blast cycle of the other piece. Interchangeable component-holding fixtures can be quickly secured on each spindle allowing product changes to be made speedily and easily. A large side door with a viewing window offers full access to the process chamber for inspection, adjustment and maintenance. The fixtured component rotates at a controlled, adjustable speed and is exposed to blast media from multiple nozzles that are pre-positioned at the correct angles and distances for overall or selective coverage of the target surfaces. Hinged pneumatically actuated entry and exit doors at the front load station seal the cabinet during the blast cycle. The RXS400 is often chosen for applications such as: Surface finishing orthopaedic implants Shot peening or grit blasting aerospace turbine blades Deburring Cosmetic finishing Surface preparation before PVD/CVD hard wear coating
