Robotic Water-Blast Cleaner: Automated system will be fast, safe, and efficient
This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A water-blasting system under development will remove hard, dense, extraneous material from surfaces. A high-pressure pump (up to 20,000-lb/sq in) forces water at supersonic speed through a nozzle manipulated by a robot. The impact of the water blasts away unwanted material from the workpiece, which is rotated on an air-bearing turntable. Designed for removing thermal-protection material from the Space Shuttle during post-flight refurbishment, the system is adaptable to such industrial processes as cleaning iron or steel castings. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Tech.
