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
