A method for machining at least one portion of a surface of a component for a vehicle, which is painted with a layer of clear coat of a given first layer thickness. The component is situated in an inner space of a blasting chamber. An opening of at least one conveying device for a blasting material emerges into the inner space. The inner space of the blasting chamber and the component are placed entirely under a partial vacuum. Blasting material in a carrier air flow generated by the partial vacuum is supplied through the opening of the conveying device to the inner space. The portion of the surface being machined and the opening of the conveying device are moved relative to each other. The blasting material is shot from the opening of the conveying device onto the portion of the surface being machined.

Computerized method and apparatus for automated sand blasting
10556320 · 2020-02-11 ·

A computerized method and apparatus for high pressure grit or sand blasting comprises an upright cabinet through which work pieces, supported by a roller conveyor, can be disposed for blasting. An elongated actuator assembly horizontally extending across the enclosure interior comprises a pair of rigid, spaced-apart, rails upon which a displaceable carriage can move. The carriage supports a sand blasting head and nozzle. An internal tape within the actuator assembly moves the carriage. Tape condition is monitored by software in response to a magnetic sender driven by the tape idler pulley and an adjacent Hall effect sensor that picks up timed pulses. The actuator assembly is braced by buffer wheel assemblies at each end, in contact with vertical guide rails at each cabinet interior end. The hose-fed sand blasting head secured to the carriage directs sand or towards a target work piece be processed. The actuator assembly is vertically displaceable via cables controlled by an overhead servo motor, so that the sand blasting nozzle may be displaced in both horizontal and vertical. A programmable logic controller, armed with suitable software, provides operator menus for initiating various steps used in setup options, executing blast functions, moving the carriage blasting.
