Our in-house production of mass finish equipment and media, customer-focused designs, our own trained service technicians, spare parts, and waste water recycling make Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass ending equipment a complete and sustainable solution for our customers.
Centrifugal barrel tumbling machines are especially well-adapted for removal of significant burrs and blending lines left by machining. They also offer excellent performance in polishing and burnishing applications. When used with various types of ceramic and organic (e.g., corn-cob) media, centrifugal barrel machines can achieve virtually any part finish from super-fine surface finish polishing to burr removal.
Are you confused by flat parts? For centrifugal barrel finishing, flat parts like washers are a challenge. Because the parts stick to the barrel's side, they can wick together and stick to it. Only one side is deburred. Glass bead blasting media can be added to the centrifugal barrel finish process. The beads cover the parts and make them unable to stick to each other or the barrel. For parts that are prone to cup together, glass beads work well.
Barrel tumblers use rotary movement with abrasive tumbling media to create sliding friction. Imagine putting rocks into a barrel and rolling it down a hill, and you have the general idea. The deburring or polishing occurs as the parts slide against the media and other parts.
The dry metal machine selection offers solutions for a range of applications including finishing, grinding, finishing, oxide elimination, dimensioning and edge radiusing. We offer both dry and moist metal machines depending on the material being processed. Dry machines are better for grinding as they can use less grit and coarser grind in areas where temperature is not a concern.
Air between sheets is created by the AJ 700 air-feed paper jogger. It reduces jogging and helps eliminate static. This allows press sheets and digital copies of the paper to be dried quickly after printing. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. drills boast a 2-inch depth drilling capacity and movable, bearing-mounted tables for precise paper positioning. 5 pre-set patterns can be selected from the 25 or 55 tabletop models.
Our dry metal machines offer solutions for many applications such as grinding, graining/deburring/finishing, oxide removal, dimensioning/edge radiusing, dimensioning, dimensioning, and other processes. We offer either dry or wet machine configurations, depending on what materials are being processed. Due to the low levels of grit or coarse grit needed for grinding in environments with high temperatures, we recommend dry machines.
Mass finishing using a centrifugal tumbler barrel can be done wet or dry. Wet processes may use a liquid solvent, cleaner, or abrasive. Dry processes do not. Each barrel can be filled with approximately 50 to 80% of its capacity using the following elements:
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has the best dry metal machines for you. Our customers have access to a variety of dry metal machines that will increase their productivity, reliability, and safety in metalworking.
A variety of applications can be achieved with our dry metal machines, including grinding, graining or deburring, finishing, removing oxide, dimensioning, radiusing edges, and dimensioning. We offer both wet and dry machine configurations depending on the materials being processed. Because of the lower levels and coarser grit required for grinding, we recommend dry machines.
Barrel tumblers make sliding friction using rotary movement combined with abrasive, tumbling media. Imagine you are putting rocks in an old barrel and rolling it up a hill. As the parts slide on the media, or against each other part, deburring or polishing happens.
Centrifugal barrel turners are a unique type of barrel tumblers. They use centrifugal force to add to the effects.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. tabletop folding folders are perfect for small offices, schools, or corporate environments. Automatic programmable models save fold programs in memory, and can be set-up to run at the touch a button.
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.
The law of attraction between positively and negatively charged particles underpins the finishing technique of applying a coating to a metal surface. The paint is usually positively charged, while the support to be painted is negatively charged because it is wired to a strong electric field.
The Inovatec Automatic Surface Finishing Machine has a PLC control system that allows you to control the entire surface finishing process. It is a completely automated and labor-saving solution. Suitable for deburring and polishing a large batch of small parts at once.
