Strip Master has installed a "State of the Art" robotic cell for our
wheel stripping operation. Six independent cells

are operated by one
single cell operator. One conveyor moves the painted wheels into the
cell for placement into one of the six blasting cabinets. The
exit/Inspection conveyor moves the wheels after stripping, out of the
cell to an inspector and palletizing station.

The "Tending Robot" located in the center of the cell
is programmed to move the wheels from the conveyor to the carousel and
to remove the completed wheel back to the exit conveyor.
The flexibility designed into this system allows Strip Masters to change
wheel programs quickly and easily. We can change from a 15" Aluminum
Wheel to a 22" Aluminum Wheel in less than 2 minutes. The program is
user friendly and allows us an infinite number of angles and speeds to
strip the toughest wheel design.
