A shot-processing device is provided, and by it they are effectively reused and prevented from being taken out of a cabinet and from scattering. A structure (40) for a flow path that connects the inside of the cabinet (12) and a suction port (70A) of a dust collector (70) includes a part of a route for circulation of a circulating machine (32) and a second flow path (40Y) that connects a chamber for blowing air and the suction port (70A). In the structure for the flow path a classifying part (35) is provided. It includes a first cyclone (36) that classifies particulate objects that include shots as shots that have a diameter that makes them reusable and as the other particulate objects and includes a part of the first flow path (40X), and a second cyclone (44) that includes a part of the second flow path.

A method for removal of residual matter includes delivering an ultra high-pressure fluid jet to an intermediate additively manufactured three-dimensional (3D) component to dislodge and remove at least a portion of the residual matter from an internal surface of the intermediate additively manufactured 3D component, or from an external surface of the intermediate additively manufactured 3D component, or both, to form a cleansed additively manufactured 3D component.

A rotary wheel cleaning device is composed of a feeding station, a cleaning station, a blowing station and a discharging station. The feeding station completes positioning, jacking and clamping of a wheel; the cleaning station completes cleaning of the wheel; the blowing station completes blowing of the wheel; and the discharging station transfers the cleaned wheel. The device can continuously perform the operations of feeding, cleaning, blowing and discharging of a wheel to be cleaned by rotating the wheel into different angular position on a station turntable, thereby automatic continuous production is achieved.

Fluid jet cutting systems, components and related methods for generating relatively low load abrasive fluid jets that are particularly well suited for cutting fragile, brittle or otherwise sensitive materials are provided. An example method includes supplying fluid at an operating pressure of at least 60,000 psi to an orifice having a circular cross-sectional profile with a diameter that is less than or equal to 0.010 inches to create a fluid jet that leaves a fluid jet cutting head through a jet passageway having a circular cross-sectional profile with a diameter that is less than or equal to 0.015 inches.

The present disclosure includes a part hold-down assembly for retaining an oversized part. The part hold-down assembly is aligned along a central force axis and applies a downward force onto the part. The part-hold down assembly includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a compression assembly extending between the top and bottom plates. The compression assembly includes two, parallel biasing assemblies that extend along compression axes that are parallel to but offset from the central force axis. Each biasing assembly including an upper collar, a lower collar and a resilient biasing member, in one embodiment in the form of a coil spring, retained between the upper and lower collar. The parallel biasing assemblies are positioned on opposite sides from each other about the central force axis, and may be spaced away from the central force axis an equal distance.

A thermal spraying device includes an electric arc spraying device, a rotatable worktable, spraying tools, wire placing racks and a master controller. The electric arc spraying device is arranged at a periphery of a rotatable worktable, the spraying tools are arranged on the rotatable worktable in a circumference direction, and each of the spraying tools is driven to rotate by a motor. The wire placing racks are arranged at an outside of the rotatable worktable, and each of the wire placing racks corresponds to one electric arc spraying device. The master controller is connected to the rotatable worktable to control the rotatable worktable. Compared with a handheld electric arc spraying gun, the spraying efficiency and the stability of the spraying quality are improved. A thermal spraying device having the electric arc spraying device is further provided. A thermal spraying system and a thermal spraying technology are further provided
