There are four options for working heads. Our machines can be customized with a range of rotating brushes and abrasive belts.
For removing significant burrs or blending lines caused by machining, centrifugal barrel-tumbling machines are well-suited. They are excellent in polishing, burnishing, and other applications. The centrifugal bar machines can work with a variety of organic and ceramic media, including corn-cob, to achieve any type of part finish, from extremely fine surface polishing to burr elimination.
To create sliding friction, barrel tumblers combine rotary motion with abrasive media. You can imagine putting rocks in a barrel and then rolling it downhill. As the parts slide against each other, the deburring and polishing takes place.
These industry-proven finishing systems can be used with many types metals such as brass, aluminum, stainless steel and chrome. Because plastic is too soft for this process, this type of system will not deburr parts made of plastic.
At Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc., we offer top-quality abrasive finishing solutions to meet our customers’ individual application and material requirements. Our machines complete various tasks depending on the application, including deburring, slag grinding, edge rounding, calibrating, and finishing. Among other metal finishing machines, we offer dry metal machines, which function in many applications and provide numerous benefits.
There are two options when it comes to choosing a metalworking machine. One is wet and one is dry. Both machines perform the same tasks using different methods. While wet machines use coolant to spread onto the surface, dry machines work without it.
Two major problems faced by a medical device manufacturer when developing a citric-passivation solution was the manufacturing process. After cleaning the parts, the water-break test had to be performed before passivating. The manufacturer could not use fully automated passivation. For quality control purposes, the system needed data tracking. Semi-Automated [...]
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. takes great care to make sure you get the right replacement parts to keep all your machines in good order.
Remember to use the detergent. The tumbling medium requires the use of cleaning compound. Cleaning compound acts as a lubricant to keep pores in the tumbling material open. The cutting action of the Tumbling Media will not work if the pores have become glazed. This can cause metal parts to turn black. If the parts are blackened, it means that the soap has not been used.
Vibratory tumblers use a side-to-side movement to shake a bowl or tub in a circular path, similar to the rock polishing kits that many of us played with as children. The finishing occurs in a scrubbing action as the parts and media shear against each other.
Our cleaning and finishing equipment is built with the Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. heritage. Superior quality, durability, safety, and operation ease.
Top/bottom machine processes both top and below the surface in one pass. Every square inch is processed exactly as it should be over the full width of the machine.
Our in-house laboratory allows us to design custom solutions for customers, which allows us to provide a unique, creative solution.
When searching for the right dry metal machine for your application, Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers some of the most reliable equipment. We provide our customers with a range of dry metal machines to increase the efficiency, dependability, and safety of metalworking applications.
Metal finishing aids in the reduction of wear and tear on metallic products. Aside from aesthetics, it has a wide range of industrial applications. It helps to improve electrical conductivity, torque resistance, and metal solderability, among other things.
