Operation and Service
The Comco WS2200 and WS6000 series WorkStations are designed for use with all Comco
series micro-abrasive blasters. Each workstation provides a generous work chamber
illuminated by two fluorescent tubes. The work chamber has a large tempered glass viewing
window that is hinged to facilitate loading and unloading of parts. Two 5" arm holes with
flexible rubber iris baffles permit access so that an operator may hold work with one hand
and a nozzle handpiece with the other. The workstation has a 4" dust exhaust connection at
the rear so that a high capacity dust collection unit may be used to keep the abrasive dust
completely controlled.
The Comco WS2200 and WS6000 WorkStations are designed to work as part of a micro-
abrasive blasting system consisting of the following:
1. The
workstation
2. Pressurized air (gas)
3. An air filter-dryer
4. A dust collection unit
5. A micro-abrasive blaster (AccuFlo
®
. MicroBlaster
®
, PowerFlo
®
, or DirectFlo™)
Micro-Abrasive Blaster
The micro-abrasive blaster is the heart of the blasting system. The manual that
comes with your blaster will cover in detail the system requirements and operation.
Refer to that manual for more information regarding preparation, set-up, operation
and maintenance of your micro-abrasive blasting system.
Dust Collection Unit
An industrial type dust collector is necessary to provide adequate air flow to
evacuate spent abrasive particles from the workstation. Typically the dust collector
should be capable of providing 350 to 500 scfm of air flow through the workstation. If
the dust collection unit delivers lower volumes of air, it will not be able to remove the
heavier, coarser abrasives and will diminish the operator's visibility in the workstation.
The Comco Warranty
Comco warrants that the workstation will be free from all defects in material and
workmanship under normal use for a period of one year from the date of purchase or 2,000
hours of normal operation, whichever comes first. Contact Comco Inc. for complete details
and exclusions regarding this warranty.
