Research and Development at the Norblast LAB

A research centre at your disposal

Inside the Norblast LAB, our technicians carry out extensive tests on customer-provided samples, simulating sandblasting and shot peening processes to ensure the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed treatments.

Equipped with advanced measuring tools, the laboratory allows us to assess parameters such as surface roughness, internal channel cleanliness, and deburring, ensuring full quality control over the results.

Each test allows customers to preview the benefits of our solutions and invest with confidence in proven, measurable outcomes.

Tests, solutions, and innovation for optimal results

Thanks to rapid, targeted testing, we are able to quickly respond and deliver a detailed feasibility analysis of the proposed treatments, often within a single day.

This responsiveness shortens decision-making time and ensures the delivery of optimal and consistent results.

The laboratory significantly reduces investment risks by identifying potential limitations or issues prior to the purchase of any system.

Partnerships with universities and ongoing research

We continuously invest in Research and Development to optimise our machines and proposed solutions. That’s why, through the Norblast LAB, we partner with universities and research centres to establish valuable collaborations, such as that with the Polytechnic University of Milan.

These partnerships enable us to develop new technologies and applications, keeping us at the forefront of the sandblasting and surface treatment industry.

Want to perform a specific test on your parts?

At our Norblast LAB Research Centre, we carry out specific tests on your components. These Tests offer dual benefits: they allow you to evaluate the effects of the surface treatments, and help us identify and resolve any critical process issues.
