Guyson Rotary Table Blast Systems

Guyson's extended range of standard rotary air-blast models includes the R-Series continuous-rotating table systems, the RX-Series indexing table models and a whole family of spindle-blast models, from machines like the RSSA-6 with a single spindle to our RXS-Series multi-spindle systems.

Rotary air-blast machines are used for selective or overall coverage of components that must be processed and handled individually. Whether loaded by hand, by a pick-and-place device or by a robot, the automated blasting cycle yields consistent quality results.

Available with multiple suction-blast guns or with direct pressure media delivery, the blast nozzles are adjustably bracketed in fixed position, or they can rotate, oscillate or traverse to conserve costly compressed air.

R-Series Rotary Table Blast Systems

R-Series Diagram

Blast treatment and airwash is performed as components rest on the continuously rotating table of the R-series cabinets. The adjustable speed table may be fitted with part-holding baskets or simple fixtures, and multiple blast guns may be rigidly bracketed in fixed position or mounted on an adjustable oscillator or a rotary turret.

Return-to-front operation and rapid processing times make this type of automatic blast machine popular for applications such as blast cleaning, cosmetic finishing, surface preparation and deflashing.

Guyson also makes various sizes of automated rotary systems with the table entirely inside the cabinet for batch processing of components or programmed blast cleaning or finishing of large work pieces.

RX-Series

RX-Series Indexing Rotary Table Blast Systems

Components may be fixtured on the perimeter of the table in indexing machines, moving from the load/unload station to one or more blast stations where they are presented to the pre-positioned guns, then through a separate airwash chamber in the automatic processing routine. Guyson's chambered design isolates the blasting operation to reduce noise and dust in the workplace.

This type of machine is ideal for automated selective blasting applications such as deburring, deflashing and etching. Many components can be treated by a group of guns in fixed position, but we also commonly supply RX-series machines with oscillating or linear traversing nozzle motion.

Guyson's precision cam indexer is so accurate that it permits an easy interface with robotic pick-and-place devices for virtually unmanned automatic operation.

RSSA-Series

RSSA-Series Rotary Blast Systems

RSSA-Series diagram

A single rotary spindle or table rotates the component at controlled and adjustable speed as it is exposed to blast from multiple nozzles. Programmed linear motion of the nozzles can be horizontal, vertical or multi-axis and is synchronized with component rotation to provide a repeatable automated processing routine.

Our Model RSSA-6 is very popular as a work cell automatic blast system for overall surface preparation, cosmetic finishing, blast cleaning, shot peening and other surface treatment operations. Various door options are available to match different user's requirements, including automatic horizontal and vertical sliding doors as well as manually operated ones.

Process parameters and automated routines for a range of similar components can be stored and recalled by the rotary blast system's programmable logic controller (PLC) to reduce the demands on the human operator and the possibility of error. As with all models in the Guyson Multi-Blast family, an extensive list of sensing, monitoring and fault indicating options are available.

RXS-Series

RXS-Series Indexing Spindle-Blast Systems

RXS-Series diagram

For 360-degree impact treatment, an indexing table system with rotary spindles is one of the most popular types, and Guyson RXS-series blast machines are available in a variety of cabinet sizes with from 2 to 12 or more spindles for high speed and high volume processing.

In RXS-series systems, the fixtured components are presented to the blast from multiple guns as the part revolves at controlled speed on a sealed ball bearing spindle. The blast nozzles may be bracketed in fixed position at the correct angles and distances for coverage of target surfaces, or they can oscillate or traverse to conserve costly compressed air. In our RXS-900 and larger systems, there can be 2 or more blast stations within the cabinet, so a brisk cycle time can be maintained even when many component surfaces must be blasted.

Guyson indexing spindle-blast systems are one of the most flexible types of automated blast machines, used for applications such as cosmetic finishing, decorative and functional etching, profiling and surface preparation, deburring, deflashing, descaling, shot peening, blast cleaning and coating removal.
