Micro-abrasive blasting works by uniformly mixing air with an abrasive media, then propelling the mixture out of a tiny nozzle tip at high velocity. The process is sometimes referred to as precision sandblasting or pencil blasting because the handpiece is held like a pencil and the end of the nozzle resembles the tip. The consistent flow offered by a MicroBlaster model, the micron sized abrasive particles, and the tiny opening of the nozzle provide a stream of abrasive that is very focused, making it an perfect process for a range of precision applications.

Adjust at least one variable, and your MicroBlaster can switch from a tool that deburrs to a tool that textures. By simply adjusting the blast pressure, abrasive type or nozzle design; a Comco MicroBlaster easily adapts from a tool that cuts vias in silicon wafers into a tool that deburrs the heel of stainless steel needles. Using MicroBlasting to cut or etch a part (a process also known as controlled erosion) is a great method to machine many precision parts, from drilling holes in ceramic substrates to cutting slots in fragile silicon and glass wafers.
About Us
read moreAn integral part of any MicroBlasting system, the nozzle provides focus and acceleration to the abrasive stream generated by the blaster. A good nozzle is designed to resist wear. Comco nozzles are manufactured from high-grade tungsten carbide and feature threads that sit away from the abrasive stream. The superior quality of Comco nozzles guarantees the highest level of repeatability with every blast. Determine if the application requires deburring, texturing, stripping, cleaning, etching or milling.
