Jerrys Intelligent Sandblasting Robot System Structure and Advantages

JERRYS ROBOT

1.According to market demands, in the future, it will be closely integrated with industrial robot technology, vigorously improving the automation and intelligence level of sandblasting machines. With the core of liberating labor and improving productivity, and the purpose of reducing enterprise production costs, it will accelerate the comprehensive layout of the surface treatment industry in China's Industry 4.0 era.

2.Using robots to replace manual sandblasting operations has advantages such as automation, high efficiency, stable operation, high sandblasting precision, and safety. As arduous and hazardous manual sandblasting is gradually being replaced by automatic sandblasting technology, robotic sandblasting room cleaning solutions have become the general trend.

3.Automation: After inputting the workpiece code, the robot can automatically identify workpieces of various specifications and complete the sandblasting operation automatically, achieving full coverage in one go without manual assistance.

4.High Efficiency: Sandblasting cleaning robots can work tirelessly, with efficiency many times higher than traditional manual sandblasting. Their uninterrupted operation in harsh environments results in significantly superior work efficiency.

5.Gantry-Type Sandblasting Robot System

6.Stable Operation: The robot is controlled by programming, ensuring stable operation. There are no unstable factors such as fatigue, misjudgment, or emotions associated with manual sandblasting. The robot is equipped with anti-collision devices; in case of abnormal collisions, it will automatically stop, reset, and trigger a system alarm.

7.High Sandblasting Precision: The robot has high sensitivity, stable operation, and a repetitive path accuracy of 0.1mm, far beyond human capability. The surface quality of the workpiece after sandblasting is ideal, with excellent cleanliness and roughness, allowing for direct painting or other treatments. Appropriate sandblasting pressure, the correct distance between the nozzle and the workpiece, and accurate sandblasting angles all directly affect roughness and cleanliness. The sandblasting robot uses media and air pressure suitable for the workpiece surface requirements. The nozzle distance and angle can be continuously adjusted to meet customers' high-standard quality requirements.

8.Safety: Manual sandblasting is arduous, hazardous, and harmful to health. Operators are exposed to noise and dust, and their bodies are prone to overexertion. When handling large equipment, ladders and work platforms are needed, making the work very dangerous. Operators must wear heavy, suffocating protective gear to avoid injury from media flying at speeds of 200 meters per second. Accidents and injuries are common in manual sandblasting, often causing production delays. Fewer people are willing to engage in such strenuous and dangerous work, leading to frequent personnel changes. The sandblasting robot can solve all the above problems. When manually operating the robot, the operator sits in an air-conditioned, ergonomic cabin and controls the robot with a joystick. When the robot automatically cleans the workpiece, the operator only needs to monitor it from the control room outside the sandblasting room.

Powder Coating Pretreatment Process Requirements:

Chemical pretreatment methods can be used, such as: degreasing → derusting → cleaning → phosphating (or passivation), etc. For most rusted or thick-surfaced workpieces, mechanical methods like sandblasting or shot blasting are used for derusting. However, after mechanical derusting, the workpiece surface must be ensured to be clean and free of scale.

Apply filler. Depending on the degree of defects, apply conductive filler, dry it, and then sand it smooth before proceeding to the next process.

Masking (also known as covering). If certain parts of the workpiece do not require coating, they can be masked with protective tape before preheating to avoid coating.

Preheating. Generally, preheating is not required. If a thicker coating is desired, the workpiece can be preheated to 100–160°C to increase the coating thickness.

Powder Coating Pretreatment Process Parameters:

1. Customer requirements for coating quality: generally, carefully analyze the overall quality of the sample or template provided by the customer.

2. Condition of the object to be coated: conduct a preliminary analysis of the customer's raw workpieces, such as material properties and color absorption. Focus on pretreatment requirements for the raw workpiece surface before coating.

3. Confirm the coating system. Analyze the surface effect of the coating based on the sample, including the type of paint used, color system, gloss level, etc.

4. Must consider the customer's existing conditions. The process you design should be based on the customer's current facilities to ensure smooth implementation in their factory (e.g., equipment, working environment, personnel quality, etc.).

5. Plan the coating process flow and conduct a preliminary assessment of the coating timeline.

6. Calculate and evaluate product costs.
