  "summary": "Module8 FM is a modular airblast frame-machine family for in-line treatment of light and medium components. One to four frames, configurable holders and robot- or linear-guided nozzles support multi-sided cleaning, stripping, texturing and coating preparation.",
  "sections": [
    {
      "heading": "Frame configurations",
      "paragraphs": [
        "FM layouts range from one to four frames, including versions in which one or two frames move in front of the nozzles. Alternating-frame operation allows loading while another frame is processed.",
        "Holders can be matched to different workpieces and changed manually when production changes."
      ]

    {
      "heading": "Coverage and nozzle motion",
      "paragraphs": [
        "Frames rotate workpieces around vertical and horizontal axes so multiple sides can be treated without a separate setup. Nozzles may follow linear axes or industrial robots, and internal-blast lances can be integrated for pipes and cavities."

        "The ground-level modular construction avoids a dedicated pit in the documented concept. Walk-in chamber access, replaceable frame wear protection and media recovery below the frames support maintenance and operator separation from spent abrasive."
