Abstract:
1. A treatment system for achieving a substantially uniform surface profile of a surface to be treated, the treatment system comprising: a support panel supporting at least one rotatable orb, and the at least one rotatable orb being rotatable with respect to the support panel over a limited range of movement, the at least one rotatable orb having an access aperture extending therethrough which facilitates receiving a desired surface treatment equipment, and the access aperture being sized so as to permit the desired surface treatment equipment to pass therethrough and move relative to the access aperture, during surface treatment, for permitting an operator of the surface treatment equipment to adjust a position of the desired surface treatment equipment relative to the surface of the object to be treated during surface treatment, wherein the treatment system comprises a monitoring system for monitoring and communicating to the operator at least one of a spacing of a discharge end of the surface treatment equipment from the surface to be treated and a treatment angle of the surface treatment equipment with respect to the support panel so that the operator can control the surface treatment of the surface to be treated and achieve a substantially uniform surface profile, of the surface to be treated, following treatment thereof, based upon monitored information provided by the monitoring system.
