3 Silo
Temporary storage place for abrasive. You can fill the silo without stopping the ADS. During a vessel
fill cycle, abrasive moves from the silo through a pinch valve, and then into the vessel.
4 Silo low-abrasive switch
If this switch does not sense abrasive, the yellow warning indicator flashes continuously and the
audible signal sounds in a rhythmic pattern. Also, the display panel shows the Silo Empty notice.
5 Control panel
The control cabinet contains the PLC, which monitors operating conditions and sends control signals
to the solenoid valves, the yellow warning indicator, and the audible signal.
6 Vessel low-abrasive switch
If this switch does not sense abrasive for 20 seconds, the yellow warning indicator illuminates
continuously and the audible signal sounds continuously. Also, the display panel shows the Vessel
Empty notice. In FlowCUT, the part program stops and a message is displayed.
7 Vessel
After a vessel fill cycle, the vessel is pressurized and pushes the abrasive through a hose to the
machine’s abrasive metering valve.
