MAN Energy Solutions GMBH is a global market leader and specialist for large diesel engines and turbomachinery.
BACKGROUND
The modernization of the blasting chamber at MAN Energy Solutions focused on automated processes, resource efficiency, and digitalization. This was successfully implemented with customized blasting robots and the latest programming software.
On the basis of experience in automation, MAN Energy Solutions had a clear picture of the possibilities of using Blastman robots for blast cleaning.
OBJECTIVES
The requirement was to blast clean automatically as well as in manipulator mode the exterior and interior surfaces of various large castings.
SOLUTION
Blastman delivered a new blasting chamber equipped with one Blastman B20S robot and one Blastman B20CS robot. Both robot arms are equipped with two 19 mm Venturi nozzles. The control cabin of the Blastman B20CS robot could be used for blast cleaning single or special workpieces in manipulator mode. The installation of Blastman enables the customer to create blasting programs with offline programming software on a PC, Point-To-Point via a hand-held teach pendant, and Teach-In method with the control cabin.
