The purpose of this project was to automate the Dry Ice Deburring operation for the Valve Seat component at NN, Inc. This will benefit NN, Inc. through labor savings, eliminating a repetitive motion task manually, and improve employee safety by limiting CO2 exposure. Dry Ice blasting is a non-abrasive way to deburr machined parts without secondary waste and residual media. In overview, the parts will travel through the automation cell pneumatically, stopping and fixed at a designated position to be blasted with dry ice for a set time, and then continuing through the automation cell to be dropped in a complete bin.

Looking ahead, our enduring legacy of expertise and commitment to continuous enhancement will propel us to establish new standards in product manufacturing.
