Guyson RB Robotically Controlled Blasting Equipment

Guyson’s RB range of robotically controlled blast systems is fully automated, accurate, repeatable and adaptable, built to process components to the highest standard for shot peening and surface preparation. Depending on the configuration, a typical RB system consists of a six-axis robot with an optional 7th-axis turntable for maximum flexibility, giving multi-axis coverage of complex part geometries.

Guyson uses an ABB IRB 1600 six-axis robot carrying a pressure-feed blast nozzle, and the optional turntable rotates components precisely for consistent blasting coverage. On complex parts, a robotic nozzle process can reduce the number of nozzles needed and cut compressed air costs. A Siemens PLC with an HMI control panel allows real-time customisation of component or blast gun manipulation, while a cyclone reclamator, sieving system and G55 pressure pot maintain media quality and surface uniformity. The robotic nozzle process supports conformance to AMS 2432 computer controlled shot peening, with consistent impact angles and surface coverage. Guyson states the benefits as reduced operating costs, improved quality and consistency, greater production flexibility and repeatable results. For rotary indexing automation, see the Guyson RXS900 and Multiblast RSB.
