Robotic Blasting System Adapted to Grit-Blast Gas Turbine Blades
Description
RB-10 robotic blast system has been adapted for grit blast surface preparation of gas turbine blades up to 1 m. An IRB-2600 robot directs the pressure-blast nozzle and a 24-in. diam turntable enables precise orientation of workpiece. The roof-mounted jib hoist has a 500-lb capacity.
A conveyor transfers the blast media, and used grit and an automatic media adder replenishes grit when low supply is detected.
