  • Control system for abrasive blasting apparatus and abrasive blasting apparatus
    Patent number: 12285843
    Abstract: A control system for controlling abrasive blasting apparatus and an abrasive blasting apparatus including such a control system. The control system controls delivery of air and blast media to a blast nozzle of the abrasive blasting apparatus. The control system includes a deadman's switch, the deadman's switch features a user operable control. The user operable control is moveable from a first position, where the control system causes the abrasive blasting apparatus to not deliver air or blast media, to a second position where the control system causes the abrasive blasting apparatus to deliver both air and blast media. When the user operable control is in an intermediate position between the first and second positions, the control system causes the abrasive blasting apparatus to deliver air but not blast media. The control system may have control elements whose state may be sequentially changed by the user operable control as it moves.
