A shot treatment apparatus and a shot treatment method applicable to the mass production of a wide range of products. A shot treatment apparatus, comprising: a spinning table which has a first rotary shaft and which holds and rotates a workpiece; an ejection apparatus that ejects a shot media from a nozzle to the workpiece; a cabinet having a treatment chamber formed therein; and a control apparatus comprising a first control unit that controls the ejection apparatus, the nozzle being held so as to be positionable and three-dimensionally swingable with respect to the workpiece.

Included are methods and systems for recycling a gas emitted from non-aqueous cleaning. An example method includes contacting a contaminated equipment with a non-aqueous cleaning material; wherein the spent non-aqueous cleaning material emits the gas. The method further comprises capturing the emitted gas, filtering the emitted gas, and recycling the emitted gas into the non-aqueous cleaning material.

A shot processing device according to an aspect includes: a guide portion provided in a conveyance direction of a workpiece; a rotation mechanism which includes a first endless belt providing a placement surface having the workpiece placed thereon and a first drive unit driving the first endless belt so that the placement surface moves in a direction opposite to the conveyance direction; a conveyance mechanism which pushes the workpiece toward the conveyance direction so that the workpiece on the placement surface rolls and moves in the conveyance direction along the guide portion; and at least one projector which projects shot media to the workpiece rolling and moving on the placement surface.

Essential constructive elements of the currently known machines and devices, which work by means of vacuum blasting, are improved in the surface cleaning and engraving machine that operates via a vacuum jet process in order to enable more effective cleaning of different surfaces, further applications and simplification of the handling of the machine or device. With the modifications and additions made, the application options of the machine or device are increased, the potential of clogging the suction hose is reduced to a minimum, the service life of the machine is extended and the efficiency and operating options of the blasting hood are improved. For this purpose, technical and design details of an already known machine are supplemented and improved; there are, for instance, a metering device (3), additions to the blasting hood (6) and measures to extend the service life of the machine by using rock impact films (31).

Control of a self-powered floor preparation machine is provided by an ergonomic controller having a guarded control stick which has various characteristics, including its pitch, roll, yaw and height, that may all be adjusted.

An impeller manufacturing method includes: integrally forming an impeller by an additive manufacturing method using a metal powder, the impeller including a disk which has a disk shape about an axis, a plurality of blades which are formed on a surface facing a first side in an axial direction of the disk with gaps therebetween in a circumferential direction about the axis, and a cover which covers the plurality of blades from the first side in the axial direction; processing the integrally formed impeller by a hot isostatic pressing; and causing a polishing fluid containing abrasive grains to flow through a flow path formed between the disk, the cover, and the blades in the impeller after the processing with the hot isostatic pressing and while pressurizing the polishing fluid to perform fluid polishing.

An apparatus and a method for treating a surface to definitely, and with a high quality, finish an object to be processed, are obtained. In the step of a first check, the numbers of objects (W) that are carried into areas (20A, 42A, 74A) where the steps of pre-cleaning, shot peening, and post-cleaning, are carried out, are counted and the conditions of the surfaces of the objects are detected. In the step of a second check, the numbers of objects (W) that are carried out of the areas are counted and the conditions of the surfaces of the objects are detected.

Aspects of the present application include a configurable blast gun plate assembly, which allows the workpiece processing apparatus to accommodate workpieces of different shapes and sizes. In an embodiment, a blast gun assembly for processing workpieces includes a platform, a blast gun support structure disposed on the platform, a blasting gun held onto the platform via the collar and the blast gun support structure. The platform is substantially horizontal, and the blast gun support structure is configured to releasably hold the collar in a predetermined position.

Provided is a wet blasting treatment device including a first nozzle unit that discharges, toward a target treatment region of a workpiece, slurry in which a first liquid and abrasive grains are mixed, a second nozzle unit that discharges a second liquid toward an untreated region adjacent to the target treatment region such that a liquid film is formed in the target treatment region of the workpiece, and a control unit that controls a discharge amount of the second liquid discharged by the second nozzle unit such that the liquid film has a predetermined thickness.
