Common deburring processes include vibratory finishing, electropolishing, abrasive blasting, brush deburring, chamfer and radius cutters, and that old standby, hand deburring with files, abrasive pads, and scraper knives. The problem with many of these, [...]
by Rich Kiley GIS, CIMS Lead Project to Clean Hundreds of Door Pulls on Campus to Help Inhibit Spread of Virus Soon after the coronavirus outbreak last spring, RIT researchers supporting the response to [...]
Nearly every machining process leaves some sort of burr that must be removed. But few agree on the definition of a burr, let alone a standard for describing them. “A burr to one engineer [...]
You may already know that wet blasting is a clean, safe way to remove grease and paint for MRO, MX, and Reman applications. Toxic coatings are safely removed and contained [...]
Is it really beneficial to shop globally, and buy from the lowest bidder? While we may save a few dollars on the initial purchase, the total cost is often higher in the long run. [...]
Collecting data from sensors to monitor machine performance and product quality is not a new concept. We’re quite familiar with the “stop/start” function that signals when a part is out of place, [...]
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, whether you call it Industry 4.0, or Manufacturing 4.0, is opening doors to higher productivity, smarter workflows, and safer work environments. As we integrate advanced robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), IoT, [...]
Eliminate caustic chemicals and their expensive disposal cycle. Reduce process steps, saving time, labor, and space on your factory floor. Prep parts for bonding, painting, plating or coating. Often, wet blasting alone [...]
If you’re still using dry blast equipment and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), now is the time to re-think your surface prep and finishing processes and choose wet blasting over dry blasting. 1-Enhance worker safety. [...]
Wet Blast cabinets designed by Wet Technologies are a perfect match for Additive Manufacturing, particularly for parts being made on demand—even in the field. Applications include surface smoothing, preparation for inspection and protective coatings. [...]
