AIRBRASIVE® MICRO ABRASIVE BLASTING TECHNOLOGY Airbrasive® Jet Machining is a process in which high pressure air and very fine powder are blended in a chamber to form an abrasive mixture. This mixture is then sent through a small, precisely machined nozzle. The result is a highly accurate abrasive stream that can be used for cleaning, cutting, drilling, deburring, and finishing all types of surfaces.

ANGLE OF IMPINGEMENT The angle at which you hold the nozzle regulates the speed and efficiency by which material can be removed from the work piece. There are two theories at play here, one based on material removal by brittle failure and the other on material removal by ductile failure.
Airbrasive® Model 6500 Series II manufactured by Airbrasive Jet Technologies, LLC. B. Characteristics. This Unit is an Airbrasive Jet Machining System. This device will cut, drill, clean, etch, and deburr materials. Finely graded abrasive particles are propelled at high velocity through precision nozzles to strike the work area.
Micro-Blast nozzle is increased. This pressure can be adjusted with the panel-mounted control from 10 PSIG (0.7 bar) up to the limit of the air supply. The air supply must be clean and dry! The Airbrasive Air/Oil filter (part number AA111) will satisfy this requirement.

Connect the dust collector to the work chamber with the flexible tube and metal clamps provided. IMPORTANT: The Unit requires a dust-collecting hood placed near the unit to collect powder. Airbrasive Jet Technologies offers dust collectors and exhaust chambers.
B. THE AIRBRASIVE JET MACHINE CUTTING PROCESS: The unit performs a cutting action by the impact of sharp- edged powder particles on a hard surface. Airbrasive powders are recommended. The use of other commercial powders can cause excessive maintenance repairs.
Section 4: Service Instructions & Component Maintenance PERIODIC INSPECTION This unit should be inspected periodically for the following signs of wear. A. Damaged case or cover B. Frayed or worn hoses C. Worn nozzle D. Loose hose connections E. Worn Pinch Tube F.
