Background
The air nozzle assembly of a jet engine is a cylindrical part with an O.D. of 44”, an I.D. of 38”, and a height of 10”. On the I.D. of the part there is a 3” wide strip of “honeycomb” metal (looks just like the name implies) which crushes when the part is installed to create a seal.
Problem
The overall part, especially the I.D., has to be stringently clean (washed, rinsed, and dried). Furthermore, the inner ring of honeycomb material has to be deburred.
 Solution
For deburring, a low volume, 3,000 PSI pump is used to feed two (2) special nozzles (you can see these nozzles at the ends of the bent tubes). The deburring nozzles as well as the wash, rinse, and dry manifolds for the I.D. are fastened to the lid. When the lid is lowered, the manifolds are precisely positioned in relationship to the part’s inner surface.
System
A stainless steel T-5000-P with a ARC-11 rinse, compressed air dry, and a 3,000 PSI deburring pump. The unit has a “PCS” control panel. Four (4) stands with “UHMW” blocks are welded to the turntable to elevate the part so the I.D. manifolds can run past the bottom of the part.
