Our blast cabinets can be adapted for use with manual or powered turn-tables. However, in the case of powered turn-tables, they can be operated in conjunction with reciprocators. When operated together, the rotary action and linear motion make them ideal prospects for blasting the internal or external faces of cylinders.
The machine showed in the photograph is designed for cleaning the internal faces of aero engine mounting discs. These are stacked on top of each other forming a cylinder. Aluminium Oxide is used to provide a uniform and coarse etch prior to applying a metal sprayed coating.
The controls allow the rotation speed, reciprocation length and stroke to be altered. This allows the unit to operate without user intervention. This machine also has a feature enabling it to be operated manually.
