In Gostol TST we are developing a universal robotic shot blasting machine, which will enable complete automation and high efficiency of the shotblasting process. The robot directly carries the workpiece from the transition chamber to the shotblasting chamber, where it is exposed to the shotblasting jet. After the operation, the robot places the workpiece again in the transition chamber.
Main advantages
The machine enables easy automation of the shot blasting process for a wide range of workpieces. Manual loading is no longer required.
The design of the machine with a transition and shot blasting chamber significantly shortens the entire cycle, as the time required for manipulation is short.
High efficiency of the shot blasting process.
It solves the problem of shotblasting fragile workpieces, which should not be shotblasted in drum machines or machines where the workpiecws would be damaged due to rolling.
The surfaces can be shotblasted with different intensity, as the kinematics of the workpiece is controlled by the robot program.
Different units can be used on the robot arm, such as: a gripper for individual pieces, a branched hanger for many workpieces, a drum, etc.
