Surface Finishing & Coating

Properly designed and applied tools enable deep-hole microdrilling to be less treacherous.

The combination finishing machine is really two machines in one because it can handle a multitude of jobs that include contour part finishing, flat stock finishing, polishing, grinding and deburring—virtually any finishing operation. The belt arm adjusts vertically, horizontally and any position in-between.

Toolmakers offer a variety of products to achieve surface finish specifications, including ones for polishing, buffing and grinding.

Manual deburring and chamfering of machined parts can be arduous, but an automated process is faster and more repeatable.

With HollowStream nozzles, the liquid is supplied into the body of the nozzle creating a swirling action within a vortex chamber. This vortex produces the hollow-cone spray pattern when the precision nozzle breaks the liquid surface tension as it exits the orifice and into a controlled spray angle. With an adjustable flow rate, it's perfect for dust mitigation, pollution scrubbers, foam breaking and more.

The wear-free nozzle is equipped with a valve specially developed by acp for this purpose which enables pulse times as fast as 20 milliseconds. In contrast with pilot-operated standard valves, the direct control of the valve prevents icing and thus ensures reliable operation and consistently superior results. The jet and pause times can be set independently of each other, so that the pulses can be optimally adapted to the respective application and also to the part-specific cleaning sequence. At the same time, the pulsed jet reduces CO2 and compressed air consumption. Depending on the pulse time, savings between 10 and 15 percent can be achieved.

Add tool life and productivity advantages to facemilling and unrepeated shoulder milling for automotive manufacturing.

Energy-efficient dryer and centrifugal cleaning system from Rösler provide mass finishing in an efficient, sustainable manner

Today's MAX System introduces the latest innovation known as Focused Deburring. These multi-axis machines feature up to four 1- to 5-axis heads or towers, which can process simultaneously or in sequence within a single working environment. This ability allows the machines to perform multiple operations on many edges and surfaces of a part at the same time. For example, a single MAX System can remove a protruding burr from an 8" spur gear, create a precision .060" chamfer on both sides of the same gear, and wash the part within 30 seconds.

Products and tools help perfect engine finishing for the automotive industry.

ALUMA-CLING RED reduces the number of steps to obtain a clean, bright surface. Easy to use, this proven formulation can help manufacturers and fabricators to clean and use aluminum that might otherwise be scrapped due to staining issues. In addition to removing sub-surface staining, it is ideal for removing soil and laser scale, heat treat scale, and white oxidation from aluminum, aluminum substrates, mild steel, stainless steel, copper, and more.
