In this video Josh goes through the new features for the Abra CNC AutoBlaster. Here is a summary of the new features.
-
New Nozzle Structure
The nozzle head has been changes which makes it simple to quickly change the nozzle. This new Nozzle fitting not only saves time but also reduces the parts in the nozzle head, so you have less worn parts which saves you money. For existing CNC Table owners, you can upgrade to this system by purchasing a Nozzle Upgrade Kit. The nozzle is a different nozzle so that needs to be changed as well so it is prudent to wait until you need to change the nozzle.
-
Bearing System Closure
The new model now has a sealing gasket on all rales which reduces the amount of dust getting into the rails and onto the bearings. There is also an air flow system with regulator that blows positive air pressure into the channels which helps prevent dusts getting into the rails. Another cost saving feature.
-
New Overfill Sensor
A new sensor on the pressure pot that tells you when there is too much abrasive in the pot. Over filling the abrasive can damage the mushroom seal in the pressure pot and that is a difficult and costly repair. The sensor will help you know when you have overfilled so you can dump some abrasive to the optimum level.
-
In Use Light
An “in use” light glows green when the machine is running. It’s a safety feature for plants that are very noisy so that people can see the machine is running.
-
Laser Light Cross Hair
Josh does not mention this in the video but the new machine have a laser light cross hair instead of a simple red dot. This is actually a great time saving feature allowing you to set you blasting fields much faster. It really is a simple but great feature that reduces the time to set fields. This feature can be added to an existing system by way of Laser Light Cross Hair Upgrade.
