Surface media blasting system and method

A method for delivering media blasting material to a surface, said method comprising:

• securing a substantially upright support structure to the surface to be blasted;
• positioning an extendable arm relative to a frame, said frame extending across said upright support structure;
• positioning a robot tool relative to said surface to be blasted, said robot tool being disposed on said extendable arm, said extendable arm extending from said frame, said extendable arm being attached to said frame by a section, said section being pivotable relative to said frame, said extendable arm traveling back and forth along said frame between said upright support structure;
• and
• controlling said robot tool from a control center, said control center being remote from said surface to be blasted.

A system for delivering media blasting material to a surface, said system comprising:

• a substantially upright support structure secured to the surface to be blasted;
• a frame extending across said upright support structure;
• an arm projecting from said frame, said arm being extendable, said arm being attached to said frame by a section, said section being pivotable relative to said frame, said arm traveling back and forth along said frame between said substantially upright support structure;
• a robot blast tool disposed at or near the end of the extendable arm with a media blasting device attached to said robot blast tool enabling said retractable arm to deliver blasting media to said surface to be blasted;
• a work station to control operation of said robot blast tool, said work station being remote from said robot blast tool;
• and
• whereby, said blasting apparatus is controlled via wireless connectivity, allowing said media blasting delivery system to blast said surface to be blasted.
