Airblast
Our airblast system features a 4-axis nozzle and rotary table, capable of handling parts up to 36 inches in size. By using Zirshot 425 ceramic media, this process ensures precise surface enhancement for maximum durability and consistency across critical airplane parts.
Features & Benefits
- Ideal for Complex Components: 4-axis control enables accurate coverage for complex components.
- High Consistency: Rotary table ensures uniform finishes with minimal variation.
- Flexible Capacity: Accommodates parts up to 36 inches, enhancing production capabilities.
5-Axis CNC
Our 5-axis CNC airblast capabilities offer unmatched precision and control, allowing for complex shapes and sizes to be treated with exacting accuracy. This advanced system is ideal for optimizing the performance and durability of intricate aerospace components.
Ceramic Media Tumbling
With efficient ceramic media tumbling capabilities, National Aerospace Processing provides a controlled process that smooths surfaces while maintaining tight tolerances. This method enhances fatigue resistance and prepares parts for aerospace finishing applications.
Wheelblast
Our multi-stage wheelblast system features a lance/nozzle and dual blast wheels, accommodating parts up to 32 inches in diameter and 24 inches tall. Utilizing steel cut wire media, our wheelblast capabilities ensure consistent and efficient surface enhancement for high-performance aerospace components.
Features & Benefits
- Streamlined Processes: Dual blast wheels improve efficiency and reduce cycle times.
- Enhanced Durability: Steel cut wire media provides superior impact strength for long-lasting results.
- Increased Capacity: Accommodates larger components with consistent quality.
Single Lance (Air)
Our single lance system delivers targeted surface treatment for intricate parts, ensuring precise coverage and fatigue resistance. This process is ideal for components that require localized surface enhancement.
Dual Wheelblast
The dual wheelblast process increases production efficiency by treating multiple surfaces simultaneously. This method ensures consistent surface treatment, reducing turnaround times for high-demand applications.
Conditioned Cut Wire
National Aerospace Processing utilizes conditioned cut wire media for its durability and uniform shape, enabling precise shot peening results. This ensures improved surface integrity and fatigue resistance in aircraft finishing applications.
