Whether your application requires compact systems to complete smaller deburring projects or larger, heavy-duty models to complete several shifts and facilitate large-scale production, we’ll help you locate the right machine for nearly any metalworking process.

A grinding wheel is a disc/cylinder that can be used to machine using abrasive, cutting or sharpening tools .....

With the many options available, there is a certain art to selecting the correct media. Using incorrect media can cause significant problems, such as media becoming stuck in a hole in the part or damaging the part.

The centrifugal barrel tumble machines are particularly well-suited for removing large burrs and blending lines that can be caused by machining. These machines are also excellent for polishing and burnishing. Centrifugal barrel machines can be used with various kinds of ceramic or organic media (e.g. corn-cob), and can achieve almost any surface finish, from super-fine polishing to burr removal.

Use of a deburring machine also contributes to worker safety, since it reduces the risk of repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome associated with deburring and polishing by hand. The centrifugal barrel machine is far more ergonomic than handwork. While centrifugal tumblers do require operators to load each barrel manually, the high speed of the machine makes up for this labor intensity.

The polishing step is usually a dry process using ground-up corn cob as media, with polishing compound embedded. Ground-up walnut shells are also used as media for dry processing.

A centrifugal barrel-tumbling machine allows the operator to adjust the speed of tumbling. This allows for finer finishing or polishing at lower speeds while aggressive deburring or edge smoothing can be done at higher speeds.

Abrasive

Do you prefer a matte, or satin finish? To make your centrifugal barrels shine, add aluminum oxide blasting medium.

There are many options. However, choosing the right media is not always easy. Unselected media can cause serious problems, including media getting stuck to a part or damaging it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Finishes are applied at the end of a construction or manufacturing process to form the final surface of an element. They can protect the element they finish from impact, water, frost, corrosion, abrasion, and other elements, as well as be decorative.

Finishing operations, also known as finishing manufacturing, occur at the end of the manufacturing process, after the part has been formed and secondary processes have been completed.

Finishing processes can be used to improve the following characteristics: appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs and other surface flaws, and control surface friction.
