Surface Finishing & Coating

Barrel cutters are applied for specialized milling applications, and recent advancements in CAM software expand the use of these tools. Geometrically, a barrel cutter has a large cutting radius on its side that closely matches the curvature of a part's surface and allows a large step-over between passes.

Crystallume is pleased to present an extensive new catalog, highlighting all of its diamond tools and DCC coating services.

When a major fortune 500 aerospace company, who had built their reputation on being "dependable ," selected Guyson to design and build a custom grit blaster for batch processing gas turbine blades; its engineering team realized that this was something truly unique.

EXAIR's new 1 NPT Back Blow Air Nozzle has been designed to effectively blow debris and liquids from pipe or hose inside diameters, axle housings, bores, holes, internal threads and other internal part features found in hydraulic cylinders, gear boxes, differential housings and more.

Cortec VpCIs offer a range of innovative options for reducing manufacturing costs and corrosion. In the case of VpCI-371, Cortec's protection reportedly rivals the corrosion resistance of stainless steel while significantly reducing material costs.

For optimal internal surface consistency and superior burr removal performance, Tanis Inc. says its CeramiX bore brushes will help you meet highest requirements for product quality and efficiency. Use on bores, internal edges and other complex components.

Shape-Master Tool Co. has developed new combinations of PCBN grades and tool coatings for hard turning applications. The coatings are applied specific to each application. Manufacturers have experienced improved cutting performance and tool life.

Manufacturers needing immediate corrosion protection on small quantities of parts can get it with all of the quality of larger finishing systems using Birchwood Technologies' Mini PRESTO BLACK line. The BK-1 line is a low-cost alternative and/or substitute for large scale finishing.

LA-MAN Corp. offers the AMD-035 SuperStar membrane dryer that provides ultraclean and ultradry compressed air specifically designed with the automotive industry in mind. This unique membrane dryer can be used where refrigerated dryers may be too large or electricity is not available or desirable.

The standard Turbo-Clean system is ecologically and economically highly efficient, regaining 95 percent of production oils before cleaning the parts. All cleaning machines are designed to run in automated production lines, minimizing disposal, regaining production oil and avoiding internal transport.

As an alternative to mineral acids, the SurTec 414 neutral activator is able to remove efficiently rust and scales, e.g. after deburring processes and offers additional advantages for the operator. The product is nonhazardous, which means easy handling and higher workplace safety, according to the company.

The key to success when individually deburring parts from bulk goods is the use of intelligent automation systems in connection with precise and accurate cleaning and deburring technology. Strama-MPS offers both main areas of expertise required for maximum outputs, i.e. automation and cleaning, and links them with reliable processes for superior cleaning and deburring results.
