Improving Aerospace surface finishing with the Vapormatt Leopard Cub…

In the precision-driven world of aerospace manufacturing, achieving consistent, high-quality surface finishes is critical. That’s where the Leopard Cub wet blasting machine makes a significant impact.


Key applications for aerospace OEMs:

✅ Cleaning: Precision cleaning to remove machining oils, cutting fluids, and oxidation prior to assembly

✅ Deburring: Removes burrs from newly machined or 3D-printed parts

✅ Surface preparation: Precise uniform surface finishes that improve coating, bonding, and paint adhesion on metal and composite surfaces

✅ Wet shot peening: Enhancing fatigue life by inducing beneficial compressive stresses

✅ Preparation for inspection: Thoroughly cleans components in preparation for NDT - cleaning out cracks for better visibility without peening them over


Why Aerospace OEMs choose the Leopard Cub:

✅ Blast consistency: Thanks to our patented technology, we are unrivalled when it comes to the consistency of blast we can achieve from our blast guns

✅ Compact design, large capacity: Small footprint, yet capable of handling tall, complex parts

✅ Precision automation: Robotic automation ensures highly repeatable, accurate processing

✅ Full process control: Adjustable air pressure, abrasive concentration, nozzle movements and lots of other parameters for optimal results

✅ Safer, cleaner operations: Enclosed wet blasting eliminates airborne contaminants

✅ Custom clamping solutions: Versatility for a variety of component sizes and geometries


Industry 4.0 ready:

✅ Real-time process monitoring

✅ Data logging for QA and process optimisation

✅ Predictive maintenance tools to reduce downtime


In short — the Leopard Cub isn’t just a wet blasting machine; it’s a precision surface finishing solution built for the demands of modern aerospace OEMs.
