SWAM® Rotary Work Cell: Single Spindle Rotary Abrader System

The SWAM® Rotary Work Cell is built upon the Complete Work Cell concept requiring a single power and single air drop. It is compact & mounted on castors for easy installation and work cell re-configuration. When consistency is demanded, this Abrading System is ideal for texturing or de-burring a variety of components including dental implants and surgical bone screws. When long parts require complete coverage, a linear motion option can support one or more nozzles. Chucks can be designed to mask areas, such as the base of dental implants, that must not be sandblasted.

 

Rotary Work Cell features:

  • SWAM –Blaster® Model LV-1 or XV-1 Micro Sandblaster for precise air pressure control and density of abrasive particles in the air stream
  • Holds up to 20 pounds of abrasive
  • Rotary Spindle with interchangeable rotating chuck or collet
  • Abrading time, chuck rotational speed, nozzle speed
  • Spent abrasive contained by barrier separating load/unload chuck from the sandblasting process
  • Dust proof enclosure for controls and moving components
  • Process control for consistent finishes from one part to the next
  • Custom built from standard components for your application

SWAM® Dual Spindle Rotary Abrader System

The SWAM® Dual Spindle Rotary Abrading System is designed for maximum throughput. When consistency and production is required, this Abrading System is ideal for texturing or de-burring a variety of components including dental implants and surgical bone screws. The rotary table allows the operator to load/unload a part while a part is being sandblasted. When long parts require complete coverage, a linear motion option can support one or more nozzles. Chucks can be designed to mask areas, such as the base of dental implants, that must not be sandblasted.

 

System features:

  • SWAM –Blaster® Model LV-1 or XV-1 Micro Sandblaster for precise air pressure control and density of abrasive particles in the air stream
  • Holds up to 20 pounds of abrasive
  • Two spindle Rotary Table with interchangeable rotating chucks or collets
  • Abrading time, chuck rotational speed, nozzle speed and nozzle alignment are all adjustable
  • Spent abrasive contained by barrier separating load/unload chuck from the sandblasting process
  • Dust proof enclosure for controls and moving components
  • Process control for consistent finishes from one part to the next
  • Custom built from standard components for your application

 

The process begins with one component being manually loaded in the chuck or collet. The rotary table then transports the component into the abrading area where the reciprocating or stationary nozzles uniformly abrade the rotating component. During this cycle, a sandblasted component is removed from the chuck and another can be put on to maximize the work done on the system.
