A Smooth Finish with Deburring Equipment

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Breana Cronk

From the first real time cinematic car chase in the movie Bullitt to the numerous Bond cars drooled over nearly as often as the Bond girls, Hollywood has banked on one key fact: fast, sleek cars sell tickets. NASCAR, Formula One and numerous other racing organizations no doubt confirm this notion. As a result, millions if not billions of dollars have been poured into the creation of the latest greatest technology in producing spectacular cars for the track and the screen. Specialized materials and engines aside, it’s a matter of aerodynamics; the smoother and less angular the car the better. While the shape of a vehicle is decided by the design team prior to manufacturing, the smoothness of each feature is often dependent upon machinery used at the end of production, deburring equipment.

Precision, Perfection and Enhanced Productivity for Small Parts Manufacturing with Miniature Brushes

Posted on July 29, 2009 by Todd Halt

Proper brush selection allows manufacturers to reduce cycle time, automate intricate surface finishing operations and deliver consistent quality Small parts requiring deburring, edge blending or other surface finishing operations can present particular production challenges to manufacturers. Often production is taken off-stream where hand-held tools are necessary to perform the intricate secondary finishing operations many of these components require. This action frequently results in reduced productivity and inconsistent product quality. Even in instances where the process is fully automated, specifying the appropriate finishing brush for the application plays an integral role in improving the tool’s overall performance and life span. A miniature deburring brush can solve both the productivity and quality challenges involved when manufacturing parts of various small sizes, contours and materials. These tools are generally best suited to address tight tolerances, edge blending, deburring and other finishing requirements that have a direct impact on overall functionality. Continue reading →

Vibratory Finishing: Versatile, Effective, and Reliable

Posted on July 22, 2009 by Todd Halt

As industrial manufacturing standards evolve, tried-and-true mass finishing processes must keep in lockstep with end-user demands. Mass media finishing processes have gained widespread acceptance in many industries, primarily as a technology for reducing the costs of producing edge and surface finishes. This is particularly true when manual deburring and finishing procedures can be minimized or eliminated. There are a number of different mass finishing processes in common use throughout industry. Among these are barrel, centrifugal, vibratory, and spindle finishing. Vibratory systems have become the predominant method due to advantages inherent to the method in terms of ease of use, automation, and material handling. When first developed in the 1950s, these systems were typically modest in size, and were used for deburring and finish processing of smaller components. Being able to process larger batch lots of modestly sized parts was important to competitiveness. Continue reading →

Blast off that Dirt, Paint, Rust and Debris

Posted on March 6, 2009 by Rebekah Fuller

From small parts to ships, cars and buildings, sandblasting is a way to clean off unwanted paint, dirt, rust and debris; prepare surfaces for painting, plating and coating; and create texturing, roughening, etching and detailing. Sandblasting is an industrial-strength cleaning method great for eliminating all the caked-on gunk and grime that inevitably builds up on surfaces over years and years. Sandblast cabinets can in minutes get a filthy part down to shiny metal, but they can also perform more delicate procedures as well. Depending on the amount of pressure and type of media used, sandblasters can completely strip parts or just polish and decorate them… Continue reading →
