Using up to four axes of motion and unique tooling, the Advanced Lathe is able to process a wide range of applications. It is easy to use: the operator simply selects from several preset programs, loads the parts and starts the process. Safety features built into the system protect against the accidental improper loading of parts, mismatch of programs or tooling, and other errors. As needs change, additional programs can be easily developed through the user interface or a remote computer using G-code. Precision and Consistency• XZ assembly provides a more rigid base for tooling attachment and parts handling• Tail-stock options for spindle• Closed-loop encoder feedback on stepper motors• Datum plate accommodates spindle or flat base plate optionsSOLUTIONS THROUGH MICROBLASTINGModular Design• Up to four axes of motion• Capable of handling complex part geometries• Quick disconnect tooling and vacuum chuck• Optional bar code reader on network integration• Tooling and part holding fixturesCustom Blast Heads• Engineering OD adjustable head• Fixed production blast head• Serializer head with PowderGate® valve• Nozzle railFlexible to Meet a Wide Range of ApplicationsLathe configurations have been developed for a wide range of processes. Our expert engineers have designed lathe systems to meet the exacting standards of the medical, aerospace, electronics, automotive, and semiconductor industries. Multiple Blaster OptionsThe Advanced Lathe has been engineered to operatewith any Comco micro-abrasive blaster. The AccuFlo® model is typically used for single nozzle applications.For most applications requiring multiple nozzles,we recommend the PowerFlo® model. A modifiedPowerFlo® equipped with a precision electronic regulatorenables the Advanced Lathe to accurately controlthe blast pressure defined in the program.The lathe can adjust the blast pressure during a cycle,allowing it to perform multiple operations duringthe same blast routine. In addition to safeguards in the blasting program, this setup also prevents operatorinterference with the pressure adjustment.Comco Inc. 2151 North Lincoln Street / Burbank, CA 91504, USA / 818-841-5500 Email: sales@COMCOinc.com / 800-796-6626 / Fax: 818-955-8365 / www.COMCOinc.com Comco Inc. 2151 North Lincoln Street / Burbank, CA 91504, USA 818-841-5500 / sales@COMCOinc.com / Fax: 818-955-8365 / www.COMCOinc.comPage 3 of 4Drilling Holes and Cutting Vias in GlassLens Engraving Deburring Bone Screws ID Stent Blasting Stent Surface Engineering Deburring Valvesand InjectorsBeveling Silicon WafersTexturing Dental ImplantsCO/09AE Copyright 2009, Comco, Inc., All Rights Reserved Page 4 of 4LA3250 ADVANCED LATHE REQUIREMENTSEngineered forHarsh Abrasive EnvironmentsWorking with micron-sized abrasives presents unique challenges in automation. The fine abrasive media can easily enter mechanical parts that are not properly protected. Over the past 40 years Comco has developedthe skills required to operate moving parts in an abrasive environment, maintaining precision and accuracy for production operations.Comco’s Applications LabComco’s engineers have the expertise and completetest facilities in our Applications Lab to develop customprocesses for your application.
