Abstract:
1. An apparatus for processing a motor-base assembly (MBA), the apparatus comprising: a fixture defining a support feature sized for removably supporting the MBA; a power source supported by the fixture and operably aligned with the supported MBA to selectively supply electrical power to a motor of the MBA; a processing fluid source; a nozzle coupled to the processing fluid source and defining an outlet sized for emitting a stream of the processing fluid from the nozzle to impact against the supported MBA with a desired impact force; a nozzle mover that moves the nozzle in order to laterally move the stream of emitted processing fluid along a predetermined path; and a shield to deflect the stream of emitted processing fluid away from at least a part of the supported MBA as the stream is moved along the predetermined path.
