Deburring equipment and custom finishing deburring
machines are used for the removal of burrs that result from machining
operations on metal and plastic parts. Burrs are undesirable protrusions
that occur on the surface of a manufactured piece. There is a wide range
of custom finishing deburring
machines and deburring equipment used in the industry. Barrel and
vibratory tumblers are
used for deburring mass numbers of parts.
Abrasive brushes and grinders can be used to deburr one surface side
at a time in large quantities on a conveyer belt system. For parts that
already have a finish on them, mass styles of deburring are not used
as the finish would be removed along with the burr. So items like sandpaper,
files and hand grinders can be used to remove isolated burrs individually,
this is usually done by hand.
Burrs are often not acceptable usually for safety reasons. These include
hazards that could occur from simply handling a part with a burr. Another
is the potential damage of other materials that would come into contact
with a burred surface. A piece of ductwork with a burr could easily cut
into insulation or damage nearby electrical work. For this reason, deburring
equipment is widely used throughout a range of manufacturing industries.
There are several types of custom finishing deburring machines, including
polishing equipment and tumblers. Polishing
equipment is used in many types of deburring in order to finish and
smooth a product. The polishing process usually involves fine deburring
media that does not remove much material, but rather enhances surface
appearance.

Types of Deburring Equipment
Barrel finishing (or
Tumbling) is a process that
produces a low-pressure abrasion action by tumbling work pieces in
a hexagonal or octagonal barrel together with an abrasive media.
Centrafugal
Disc machines are essentially barrel machines and the name describes
the spinning disc at the bottom of the machine that spins
the part and abrasive media together.
Continuous processing
equipment is able to process high volume parts
on a constant basis through in-line production.
Oval vibratory systems are versatile machines
that can be set up for either continuous processing or batch processing
for extended time
cycles.
Polishing
equipment is used in many types of deburring. Examples
range from the barrel or vibratory tumbler as well as non-enclosed
options
like Nylon Abrasive Filament (NAF) brushes or standard hand held sandpapers
and filers.
Sand blasting equipment is
also a type of deburring machinery which produces a desired effect.
Rather than the metal part being immersed
in polishing media, as in the case of vibratory or barrel tumblers,
the part surface is blasted from the outside by the appropriate media
which is often small ceramic pieces or even walnut shells in the case
of softer plastic parts. See Sandblast
Equipment.
Tumbling media is the abrasive material used in deburring.
Vibratory
finishing is the burr removal process in which an appropriate
number of parts, depending on part size and abrasive material, is
accelerated and decelerated by mechanical means inside of a drum-like
enclosure.
Vibratory Tumblers are one type of deburring
machinary. Often similar in shape and technology as the barrel machines,
but are open at
the top allowing the ability to view the progress of the deburring
without
stopping the machine.
Deburring Equipment Terms
Abrasive – Technically
any material that can be used to abrade another material. In industry
however, abrasives are
minerals from a select group of very hard minerals used to shape, finish,
polish or deburr another material.
Buffing – Polishing method using a soft cloth and very fine polishing
compounds.
Burr – Undesirable protrusions and metal edges that result from
machining operations.
Coated Abrasive – Often referred to as sandpaper. This is used
on machines such as disc sanders and is often used by hand. Often a synthetic
mineral is coated on the paper or fiber rather than actual sand.
Crystalline - The texture of groups or masses of minerals is said to
be crystalline when distinct crystal faces are present.
Disc Grinding – Refers to grinding machines and a process using
the face of a large wheel to produce flat and parallel surfaces
in high volume production.
Edge – The intersection of two surfaces.
Finish – A measurement of surface characteristics of a workpiece.
Friability – A characteristic of abrasive grains that describes
their tendency to fracture or break apart then hit or placed under pressure.
Emery – A natural abrasive that contains aluminum oxide and small
amounts of iron oxide. Once used extensively in the finishing industry,
it is used today mostly in home workshops for deburring by hand.
Mass Finishing – A group of processes that use abrasives to remove
burrs or apply a finish to small workpieces.
Media – The abrasive pellets, stones or other materials used in
mass finishing and deburring. Examples are silicon carbide, ice, plastic,
sand and walnut shells.
Polishing – A process using very fine abrasive minerals for little
or no material removal. The step of finishing that often comes just after
deburring when needed. Surface appearance is the primary purpose of polishing.
Silicon Carbide – This synthetic mineral is one of the abrasives
used extensively in the finishing industry. It his harder than aluminum
oxides.
