Guyson teams up with ABB to deliver robot blasting

Leading industrial finishing equipment manufacturer Guyson International, based in Skipton in the north of England, has recently entered into a partnership agreement with ABB Robotics, in a strategic move to expand its robotically controlled blasting capabilities in Europe.

The Guyson group has produced over the last few years, through its US subsidiary, Guyson Corporation of the USA, numerous advanced robotically controlled blast systems for a range of industrial applications such as shot peening turbine blades and landing gear parts and grit blasting oil field valves prior to thermal spraying and it is now expanding that expertise to its European customer base from its UK headquarters.

Jimmy Thomson, Robot Surface Finishing Support Manager for Guyson commented: “Many of our customers’ components shapes and contours are becoming very complex with critical blasted surface finishes which conventional automated blast system may not always be able to meet, so we intend to satisfy customer expectations with a range of ABB robotically controlled blast cabinets manufactured in our UK factory”.

Alan Spreckley, Channel Partner Manager for ABB Robotics says: “Guyson is well-established in the industrial engineering sector, delivering good service across a range of industries. By working with Guyson we can ensure that its customers get the most suitable robotic solutions for their needs, and provide the company with the opportunities to develop and expand its own brand of highly automated blast systems.”

Guyson are now inviting prospective robotic blast customers to get in touch for initial talks and demonstrations of the technology involved, especially those involved in the aerospace, medical, thermal spray and oil and gas sectors with components such as turbine blades, medical implants, industrial pumps, turbo chargers and aerospace MRO components.

The addition of the ABB partner agreement adds to the portfolio of robot system suppliers Guyson can call upon around the world.  By working with a range of the leading robotic equipment suppliers Guyson can offer a wide choice of providers, tailored to each specific customer’s requirements, and providing reassurance to its customers that should they already have existing investments in specific robot brands and operator training, Guyson can facilitate them whoever their preferred choice might be.
