MICRO-ABRASIVE BLASTING SERVICES

We are now offer a new service aimed at low volume, manual micro-abrasive blasting. Perfect for the small production runs where a microblaster would be valuable in saving hours of extra labour costs, but where justifying the relatively low cost or space needed for a system is difficult.

Micro-abrasive blasting is used in a variety of applications in medical manufacturing, the aerospace industry, micro-electronics, precision machining, dental labs and fossil cleaning.

We nearly always have a MB1000-2CE Microblaster and a PF2000-2CE Powerflo setup and ready to go, and parts can be processed and turned around quickly and efficiently.

Our blast cabinet is fitted with an anti-static mat, earth straps and an ionizer to protect static sensitive devices/pcb's.

Applications

The versatility of micro-abrasive blasting is one of its greatest assets. The process is used in a variety of industries from the manufacture of medical implants to the restoration of prehistoric fossils.

Micro-abrasive blasting has applications in a diverse group of industries:

Medical applications include deburring of needles, bone screws, stents and medical implants; cleaning medical molding; surface preparation on medical electronics
Aerospace applications include cleaning orifices in turbine blades; removing magnesium oxide insulator from thermocouple harnesses; engraving optical lenses and instrumentation; selective corrosion removal on airframe and engine components
Electronics applications include conformal coating removal; shockless wafer cutting; adhesion enhancement on flex circuitry; stripping insulation from fine wire
Precision Machining applications include removing EDM recast and discoloration; finishing and texturing injection mold cavities; cleaning runner nozzles
Dental Labs use micro-abrasive blasting for devesting pressable ceramics; removing oxides from the surface of porcelain crowns; shaping tooth anatomy
Fossils removing fossil matrix
Other Applications cleaning and preparation of semi-precious stones and jewelry
