Thermal Spraying

The double spindle enables part fixturing while in cycle with another part

This highly productive machine features side-by-side cabinets for spraying aircraft engine components. One spindle pivots into the cabinet while the other pivots out to the operator’s position. Sliding acoustical doors close over the load station to enable the exchange while the plasma torch is lit. The spindles can rotate about a vertical axis or tilt toward the robot arm for better targeting of complex geometries. The machine includes a slurry supply and recirculation system for ethanol-based slurries supplied in 400-gallon bulk totes.

• Pivoting spindles rotate parts up to 31 inches in diameter and 20 inches tall
• Spindles can pivot parts from 0 to 90 degrees in the part program
• Most plasma components are located on a mezzanine on the cabinet’s roof
• Progressive Surface 100HE® plasma torch
• High-volume slurry supply and recirculation system (optional)
• Process viewing video camera with a monitor at the operator station (optional)
• Tecnar AccuraSpray integration (optional)
