Medical Manufacturing Technologies (MMT) has acquired Comco, a company specializing in micro-precision sandblasting.
Microblasting is a technique used for deburring, texturing, cleaning, and modifying part surfaces. As the creators of the MicroBlaster, Comco has gained the trust of industry professionals in medical manufacturing, microelectronics, precision machining, and aerospace, positioning itself as the premier partner for microblasting solutions.
Comco’s MicroBlaster operates by uniformly mixing clean, dry air with abrasive particles as small as 17.5 microns. The mixture is propelled through a nozzle tip at high velocity, resulting in a focused and easily controlled abrasive stream. This technology enables consistent microblasting parameters, ensuring a high level of repeatability and providing a cost-effective, environmentally friendly manufacturing method.
“We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with MMT, a trusted leader in automated, process-driven manufacturing,” said Colin Weightman, president of Comco. “By combining our unique strengths and expertise, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that will enhance the customer experience and propel the manufacturing industry towards new heights of success.”
Weightman will assume the role of Technical Sales Director, contributing to the growth of MMT’s abrasive technologies while also strengthening partnerships and promoting ongoing innovation with microblasting to solve manufacturing challenges.
