Préserver le passé avec une précision moderne : le rôle de Guyson au chemin de fer à vapeur d’Embsay & Bolton Abbey
The custom RB RXS leverages the
advanced capabilities of Guyson’s existing robotically-controlled blast range with the high-throughput advantages of the rotary indexing blast systems to support
high-precision surface finishing.
RB RXS features:
Rotary indexing enables efficient loading and continuous processing of four components per cycle
Robotically controlled blasting ensures consistent, accurate and repeatable results
Spindle station design provides flexibility for linear or rotational blasting
HMI/PLC interface allows full control of blast processes and real time tracking
The blast cabinet comprises of four stations, specifically designed to allow for up to four components to be loaded simultaneously, enabling an efficient component processing cycle: loading/unloading, component dwell, component blasting, component air wash.
Components are loaded and unloaded at the front of the machine, where the operator can use the HMI screen or manual control buttons to index the component round to the dwell station.
From the dwell station, the component is indexed round to the third station to be blasted. Component blasting is carried out by four model 900 blast guns connected to a KUKA KR12 R1810-2 IP65/67 robotic system. The robotically-controlled blasting element of the RB RXS system delivers
high-precision blast nozzle manipulation and pin-point control of process parameters, ensuring the customer can maintain the optimum surface speed, blasting angle and stand-off distance required for their finishing application.
Surface finishing of the component is enhanced further by the innovative implementation of the spindle design to each station. Spindle stations not only play a key role in achieving complete blast coverage and air wash cleaning of the component, by exposing all surface areas for the same controlled period through rotation, but they also provide flexibility to accommodate different component geometries and process requirements.
Once blasted, the components are indexed to the fourth and final station, where they are air washed to remove any remaining media before being returned to the unloading station.
The PLC/HMI provides the user with extensive control over system operation, including the ability to modify and save blasting parameters to suit specific applications. Multiple process recipes can also be created and loaded, supporting efficient operation across a range of components and blasting requirements. In addition, operators can adjust settings such as the number of active blast guns, blasting duration, spindle rotation speed, number of cycles as well as air wash functionality and duration.
