The automatic rotary indexing shot peening machines have several different types of automation methods, including robot pick-and-place devices, gantry devices and material handling conveyors.
The rotary worktable is equipped with multiple workstations and can be used for the mass production of gears, sprockets and other parts with complex shapes. Multiple workstations enable the loading and unloading of processed parts while shot peening treatment is being carried out on other parts, thus maximizing the production output.
The sandblasting chamber is made of 12mm thick steel weldments. All components are lined. A 25mm thick polyurethane lining is used for wear protection, and a 50mm thick foam is used for sound insulation. The maximum noise level is 85 decibels.
It is equipped with boron carbide suction sandblasting guns with a diameter of 10mm, which can be individually adjusted and controlled according to the customer's production requirements. The sandblasting gun rods, fixtures and locking bolts are all made of A2 steel (Rockwell hardness 62).
The number of sandblasting gun configurations can range from 6 to 12.
The indexing of the rotary workpiece station turntable is 60 degrees.
The sandblasting system is equipped with a dedicated dust collector to achieve the best abrasive recovery and ventilation of the sandblasting chamber.
The control panel has automated control. Safety features include infrared light curtains and workpiece loading buttons, and the design is easy to operate.
The customized rotary indexing shot peening strengthening machine uses either fixed or movable sandblasting guns.
There is a flexible loading and unloading mechanism.
There are precision rotary fixtures at the shot peening stations.
The abrasive supply amount and air pressure are adjustable.
There is a sealed blowing and cleaning station.
