Micro Blasting
JetCenter
Expand Your Blasting Capabilities
In an evolution of our automated MicroBlasting platform JetCenter has created new options. In addition to having greater travel, this system was designed specifically to integrate additional types of motion and automation within the blast chamber. JetCenter is your go-to choice for large flat parts, or trays of smaller parts that need to be blasted individually.
Built for Abrasive Environments
The characteristics that make an abrasive a suitable choice for MicroBlasting make the protection of automation challenging. Unlike the large, blocky abrasives that are used in traditional sandblast cabinets our media is almost as hard as diamond and as fine as moon dust. Through our engineering expertise we are able to design and manufacture a system tough enough to withstand these harsh environments in a production environment.
Product Details
Key Features
Designed for the steady processing of precision parts, JetCenter is customizable from a proven platform and delivered as a turnkey solution.
Easy To Use
Designed for a production environment, JetCenter protects against accidental improper loading of parts or mismatch of programs. Simply select a preset program, load the parts, and you’re ready to begin blasting at the press of a button.
Flexible Design
JetCenter configurations can be developed for a wide range of processes. Our expert engineers can design JetCenter systems to meet exacting standards in the medical, aerospace, electronics, automotive, semiconductor industries, and more.
Works With Any Blaster
JetCenter has been engineered to operate with either the AccuFlo or PowerFlo families of Comco blasters. The AccuFlo model is most commonly used for single nozzle applications. Multiple AccuFlo units or the PowerFlo are recommended for applications requiring multiple nozzles.
Accessories
External Input Sources
Information and commands can be communicated to the Advanced Lathe from external sources. This can be a bar code reader, a scale, or another piece of automation like a robot.
Internal Tooling
While not really an accessory the JetCenter can be configured with a multitude of different modules to meet the application requirement. We have currently built a TwistWrist for following a part radius, SpinWrist to spin a nozzle.
AutoFill
AutoFill replenishes the abrasive in your tank automatically so you never have to stop working to refill. AutoFill is an add-on module for the Tall-Tank model AccuFlo.
