After forging and heat treating, heavy duty axle tubes need a shot blast operation to remove graphite and scale. This custom designed shot blast machine utilizes nozzles on the tube OD, and lances on the ID. Programmability of nozzle/lance movement is provided to accommodate different part diameters and lengths. Three robots are fully integrated for machine loading, unloading, and part handling down the production line.
