Sandblasting robots

Revolutionizing surface preparation: The power of blasting robots

Ventherm A/S offers cutting-edge blasting robot solutions that empower you to create robot programs without disrupting your production process.

Ventherm A/S’s innovative robot solution leverages 3D scanning technology to capture the precise dimensions and geometry of unblasted parts. The software then automatically generates a program that plans the most efficient blasting paths and optimizes abrasive material consumption. By analyzing the 3D scan and matching it with the initial CAD drawing, the program is tailored to the specific characteristics of each individual part, including size, shape, position, and orientation.

Ventherm A/S’s robot solutions also provide the flexibility to adjust critical blasting parameters such as angle, speed, and abrasive pressure for each surface type, ensuring optimal results and maximizing productivity.

Smarter surface preparation

Advanced Sandblasting robots

Sandblasting robots are sophisticated machines equipped with robotic arms and specialized nozzles. They are programmed to follow precise trajectories, ensuring consistent and thorough surface preparation. The process typically involves the following steps:

  • Robot Programming: Engineers program the robot’s movements and parameters, such as the speed, angle, and intensity of the abrasive blast.
  • Abrasive Material Delivery: The robot is connected to a hopper containing the abrasive material, such as sand, steel grit, corundum, cobber slag or glass beads.
  • Blasting Operation: The robot’s arm moves along the designated path, directing the abrasive material towards the surface to be cleaned or prepared.
  • Containment and Ventilation: The entire process is carried out in a controlled environment with proper ventilation and containment systems to protect workers and the environment.

Why sandblasting robots are efficient

Blasting robots offer numerous advantages over traditional methods. They significantly boost productivity by working tirelessly for extended periods. By following precise programming, they ensure consistent results and minimize human error. Perhaps most importantly, they eliminate the risk of injuries associated with manual sandblasting, such as respiratory problems and skin irritation. While there are initial investment costs, robots can reduce long-term labor expenses. Additionally, they are highly flexible, easily reprogrammable to adapt to different surface geometries and blasting requirements.

The future of sandblasting

As technology continues to advance, sandblasting robots are becoming even more sophisticated and versatile. Future developments may include autonomous robots capable of independently navigating complex workspaces and making real-time adjustments, advanced sensors to detect surface irregularities and optimize the blasting process, and AI-powered optimization to analyze data and enhance robot performance.

By embracing sandblasting robots, industries can achieve greater efficiency, safety, and quality in their surface preparation processes.
