Micro-Abrasive Blasting

Micro-abrasive blasting, also known as precision blasting, uses nozzles as small as .026 to deliver a fine stream of abrasive. Micro-abrasive blasting is used on small parts or on a small area on a larger part of a few square inches at most. The consistent flow of micro-abrasive through the small opening of the nozzle delivers a stream of abrasive that is very focused, making micro-abrasive blasting an ideal process for a variety of precision applications.

If you are unsure which micro-abrasive blasting equipment and media will best meet your needs, our application engineers will help you configure your system for optimum ROI.

Configuration of Micro-Abrasive Blasting Equipment

Configuration considerations for your micro-abrasive blasting equipment:

  • Abrasive blasting on a “micron” level
  • Ideal for treating very small parts, or for small details on larger parts
    • Marking, etching, deburring, and scratch removal
    • Trimming electronic components
    • Tube scoring
    • Lapping
    • …almost anything that “macro” blasting can achieve
  • Machines specially designed to handle conventional abrasives ranging in size from 25 to 250 microns (0.001” to 0.010”, 360 grit to 60 grit)
  • Nozzles range in size from 0.026” to 0.065” diameter
    • Also available in slotted, extended, and right-angle configurations
  • Configurations available:
    • Cabinets in 1-, 2-, and 3-tank arrangements for maximum versatility
    • 2-tank arrangement without Cabinet for mobile applications
    • Variety of Workstation designs to provide unencumbered work area
  • High efficiency Dust Collectors available as optional equipment
