Blastman Robotics transfer car

Blastman Robotics provides its customers with tailor-made automated blast-cleaning solutions, including a unique Blastman sandblasting robot or an entire surface-treatment product line. Robots help automate tasks, resulting in safer working conditions, faster cycle times and more consistent results.

Blastman identified the need to modernise the transfer car for workpieces to be sandblasted. The new transfer car needed to be cheaper, sturdier and faster to build. Together with the client, Comatec specified the project and designed and implemented it on schedule and within budget.

Starting point and goals:

• The goal was to create for TP Silva Oy’s firewood factory models a universal, safe and parameterisable control system that can also be used in future product innovations.
• Comatec was in charge of development of the unit’s control system, consisting of the software development of the control unit, display and IoT data transfer

Results and benefits:

• The new, parameterisable control system enables a flexible product development and tailoring of firewood factories.
• The control system monitors the functions and provides the person operating unit about work performance.
• The IoT system enables the units to be monitored remotely, improving predictability of maintenance needs, thereby improving customer service.

“It’s been great to work with Comatec. Everything we have agreed on together was finished on schedule, and often we received more than we asked for. Comatec was deeply involved in the development and testing,” says development manager Timo Jussila of TP Silva.
