Deburring

MultiShape Ceramic Media

This media has a patented shape without any flat, parallel surface areas. On the one hand this unique design prevents media lodging in the work pieces, which can occur particularly in case of complex work pieces. Such lodged media can severely affect the finishing process and must frequently be removed by hand. On the other hand, the shape with its rounded surface areas allows the surface refinement of work pieces, which to-date could not be handled by mass finishing at all or only with very complicated operational setups. This includes components with difficult-to-reach surface areas like tight radii, undercuts, notches and slits, which can frequently be found in stamped and bent components.

CNC deburring tool with compression and extension float

The DeBurr-Z is said to eliminate the need for tedious hand work by deburring parts quickly and consistently on a CNC machine. The Tapmatic cutting tool floats in both compression and extension allowing it to follow the top edges or underside edges of the workpiece, even when these are not clearly defined like in the case of castings and cross holes.

Garden tool maker optimizes finishing process

Improved productivity, increased production capacity, better quality and lower costs were the demands of a leading garden tool manufacturer when they invested in a mass finishing system for deburring and polishing of garden shear knives. Rösler met this challenge.

Deburring Aluminum Crosshole with ORBITOOL

The ORBITOOL^® deburring tool is designed for in-process deburring of crossholes. The flexible shank and protective ring enable a unique cutting action that automatically protects all critical surfaces, while selectively removing material only at the burred intersection edge. This can be achieved in a CNC setting, or manually in a rotary grinder.

Automate deburring and finishing operations

Deburring and finishing are still predominantly manual processes for many manufacturers and job shops. However, the results can be inefficient and inconsistent. Automating these processes can solve these problems.

Cross hole deburring made easy with CNC equipment

In the past decade, a California-based machine shop has relied on a flexible, honing tool for a range of automated CNC machining applications such as cross hole deburring, cylindrical honing, surface finishing, edge-blending and cleaning.

quattroClean Snow-Jet Technology

Fast, Effective, Efficient Pulsating Jet

The core of the cleaning system is a wear-free, two-component ring nozzle through which the non-flammable and non-toxic carbon dioxide is fed. On exiting the nozzle, the carbon dioxide expands to form fine CO2 snow, which is then bundled by a separate jacketed jet of compressed air and accelerated to supersonic speed.

WTX High-Feed Drill

Dragonskin DPX14S Coating on the WTX Provides Maximum Protection

The innovative pyramid geometry of the WTX ensures extremely aggressive and precise drilling performance. In fact, the WTX achieves positioning accuracy of 0.03 mm and excellent centering properties. Higher levels of drilling quality, hole tolerance, surface finish, and positioning accuracy increase component quality, to the extent that there is no need for potential reworking. Furthermore, low burr formation when entering and exiting the hole eliminates the need for time-consuming subsequent deburring.

Sheenus ZERO Ultrasonic Polisher

Updated Advanced-Performance Sheenus ZERO

For operator control and comfort, the Sheenus ZERO provides variable amplitude between 19 - 29 kHz per second and produces minimal hand vibration. Conveniently portable and easy to maneuver, the Sheenus ZERO controller weighs just 3 lb 5 oz, or 29% less than NSK’s previous ultrasonic polisher. The resin body handpiece, lightweight and ergonomically designed, enables effortless, precision work over long periods of time.
