 MICRO-ABRASIVE LATHES
Lathes
 Comco
has integrated the precision of micro-abrasive blasting with an advanced
machining platform for superior control quality and repeatability.
Standard
Lathe: ideally suited for abrading parts that require precision
material removal, cleaning or texturing. A self-contained workstation the
Standard Lathe delivers a powerful stream of abrasive in a programmable
pattern ensuring a high degree of repeatability and
control.
Advanced
Lathe: is designed for the steady processing of precision parts in a
production environment. The Advanced Lathe has all the features of the
Standard Lathe with the addition of an onboard computer that is network
compatible.
 Comco’s
LA 1500 Standard Lathe combines the rotational characteristics of a
traditional lathe with the latest in micro-abrasive blasting technology.
The LA1500 is ideally suited for abrading parts that require precision
material removal, cleaning or texturing. This self-contained
workstation delivers a powerful stream of abrasive in a programmable pattern,
ensuring a high degree of repeatability and control.
Spindle speed, blast speed,
number of blast cycles and stroke start and stop positions are easily
adjusted using manual controls to ensure consistent results from part to
part. Tooling and nozzle arrays are customized to fit the user’s
application. Our Engineering Department is available to provide a
complete late setup and qualification.

Advanced Lathe provides precision micro-abrasive blasting for demanding
production environments. The LA3200 is ideal for stent surface
conditioning, detailed engraving and other applications that require a high
degree of accuracy and repeatability.
The Advanced Lathe works by
propelling abrasive air out of up to five small nozzles aimed at a part
rotating on a spindle. The nozzles are mounted on a blast head that
moves on the X- and Z-axes. This movement is fully coordinated with the
spindle rotation enabling the system to trace complex shapes, directing the
abrasive stream with pinpoint accuracy. Designed for both engineering
development projects and full-scale production operations, the Advanced Lathe
provides superior control, quality and repeatability in micro-abrasive
blasting.
