Why the robotic Vapormatt Sabre wet blasting machine excels in aerospace MRO...

In aerospace Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), every process has to be precise, repeatable, and reliable. That’s where the Sabre comes into its own.

• Unmatched precision: The Sabre delivers micron-level control in surface finishing. It produces consistent, repeatable results, with surfaces optimised for coatings that demand excellent adhesion performance.

• Designed for demanding components: With the ability to handle jet engine and turbine parts up to 100 kg and 800 mm in diameter, and with up to five programmable axes, the Sabre ensures full and uniform coverage - even on complex geometries such as blades and vanes.

• Protecting valuable materials: Integrated rinsing, drying and chemical dosing minimise the risk of media carryover, oxidation and cobalt leaching. This helps maintain the integrity and service life of high-value aerospace components.

• Efficiency through automation: Recipe-driven controls, servo-driven positioning and remote diagnostics combine to cut downtime, increase throughput and give operators confidence in the repeatability of every batch.

• Versatility in one platform: From peening to surface activation for coatings, the Sabre covers a broad range of MRO requirements in a single, reliable system.

The Sabre is a machine that aligns perfectly with the high standards aerospace MRO demands - delivering precision, consistency and efficiency where it matters most.
