VertiDrive’s Post

Boost Efficiency in Large-Scale Blasting with VertiDrive 📈 Efficiency in blasting large surfaces like ship hulls or storage tanks is crucial, and our recent data highlights the power of higher nozzle pressures. Our graph demonstrates a key rule of thumb: every psi above 100 results in a 1.5% increase in performance efficiency, while every psi below 100 decreases production by 1.5%. ❗ NOTE: Pressure is measured at the nozzle, not from the compressor. What This Means for Large-Scale Projects: 💨 High-Pressure Advantage: On extensive jobs like blasting a ship hull or storage tank, operating above 100 psi can significantly amplify efficiency. For example, increasing the pressure by 20 psi can boost efficiency by 30%, dramatically reducing the time and cost associated with large-scale preparations. 💸 Traditional Limitations: Conversely, traditional blasting methods, typically operating below 100 psi due to human limitations on handling nozzle thrust, suffer a proportional decline in efficiency. This lower performance translates directly into longer project durations and increased labor costs. Our robots are engineered to operate safely at higher pressures, maintaining peak efficiency without the physical strain on human operators. This capability allows projects to move faster and more consistently, achieving superior results without compromising safety. Leverage VertiDrive's advanced robotic technology to ensure your blasting projects are not only faster but also more cost-effective. Step into the future of surface preparation where efficiency scales with your ambitions. Explore how VertiDrive can transform your next big blasting project.

Special Drag Chain Cable Drag chain cable is mainly used in industrial automation systems, production line systems, welding machine robots, submersibles, and other occasions that need to move back and forth. To prevent cable entanglement, abrasion, pulling off, hanging, and scattering, the cable is often put into the cable drag chain. #cableharness #wiringharness #connectors #cableassembly #cablesolutions

This Midwest manufacturer of agricultural material handling products was increasing their production capacity through the addition of robotic welding stations. Welding fumes were not an acute issue when the welding was done manually, but the firm knew that they would be utilizing many more multiples of welding wire with the switch to robotics. The Hastings solution provided the manufacturing areas with clean air without having to enclose the robotic stations with hoods or curtains. Our solution uses multiple, strategically located air filtration units that clean the dirty air while returning the cleaned air right back to the area without having to exhaust. The Hastings GVSC System has long-lasting filters that clean themselves only when needed, saving compressed air, and a pre-programmed VFD that saves energy by running the blower at just the speed necessary to provide the area with clean air at all times. An HMI panel allows operators to visualize system status at all times. The existing exhaust fans were able to be turned down significantly, further enhancing energy savings, while keeping personnel warmer in the winter months. Clean air, low maintenance, energy savings, and comfortable employees. Hastings for the win!

ATINY laser welding seam tracking system is adapted for the application of modern robots in the automation welding of powder tank truck frames. It utilizes laser positioning for automatic correction of welding seam deviation with an accuracy of 100%, effectively enhancing welding quality.

Washing or blasting large storage tanks presents several challenges for contractors, impacting their efficiency and the quality of their work. These challenges include: 🏗Access Difficulties: Reaching all parts of a large tank, especially the interior, can be tough and often requires costly specialized equipment such as scaffolding, cherry pickers, or rope access. ⏱Time-Consuming Process: The sheer size of these tanks means that cleaning and preparing them takes considerable time, affecting project timelines. To stay competitive, production rates must be increased. 📏 Consistency Issues: Ensuring an even surface finish across the entire tank is challenging but crucial for the proper adhesion of new coatings. Manual blasting methods are prone to over and underblasting certain spots due to operator fatigue. 👷♂️ Safety Risks: Working on large tanks, especially in confined spaces, poses significant health and safety risks to the crew. VertiDrive solutions, particularly the V400 and V700 robots, are designed to overcome these pains effectively. These robots provide precise, consistent, and safe surface preparation, reducing the time and labor needed while ensuring top-notch results. 🤖 💥 Whether it's abrasive blasting, UHP blasting, or high-pressure washing, our technology adapts to your needs, making it the ideal choice for your next tank maintenance project. 💦 ☎ Interested in seeing how VertiDrive can transform your operations?
