Tumbler media, which is used for mass finishing, grinds away the burrs on metal surfaces and cuts them. There are many types of tumbler media.

Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. bookletmakers, and finishing systems are known for speed and versatility. Our Sprint series models have an excellent reputation in the industry for reliability and performance. The SF2 bookletmaker features wire-fed stitching technology which was only possible in larger systems up to three times the price.

Vibratory tumblers move in a similar way to our childhood rock polishing machines. The parts and media are then matched up with a scrubbing action.

A deburring machine can also help worker safety. It lowers the risk of repetitive motion injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, that is associated with polishing by hand. The use of a centrifugal barrel machines is more ergonomic than manual labor. Centrifugal tumblers can be slow and require manual loading. However, this is compensated for by the machine's speed.

Each of these three types can be completed by centrifugal finishing machines. They are also called steps. There may not be a need for all of these steps, depending on what surface finishes you require. You might have one, two, three, or all of these steps.

Barrel tumblers create sliding friction by using rotary movement and abrasive-tumbling media. Think of putting rocks into a container and rolling it downhill. The parts are pushed against the media or other parts, and this is called deburring.

Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can provide top-quality abrasive solutions for each customer, no matter what their material or application. Our machines are capable of performing a wide range of tasks depending on the job, such as deburring, slag grinder, edge rounding and calibrating, or finishing. We also have dry metal machines which can be used in many other applications and offer many benefits.

Which machine is used for forming uniform transverse grooves on transverse concrete

Flummoxed by flat parts? Flat parts such as washers present one of the toughest challenges for centrifugal barrel finishing. The parts tend to wick together or stick to the side of the barrel, so only one side gets deburred. The solution is to add glass bead blasting media to the centrifugal barrel finishing process. The beads coat the parts so they can no longer stick to the barrel or each other. Glass beads also work well for parts that tend to cup together.

Do you want a satin or matte finish? You can add aluminum oxide blasting media during the centrifugal barrel finish process to make your part matte or satin.

Our selection of dry metal machines provides solutions for a variety of applications, including graining, deburring, finishing, oxide removal, dimensioning, edge radiusing, and grinding. Depending on the types of materials that require processing, we offer either wet or dry metal machine configurations. We recommend dry machines for grinding processes due to the reduced levels of grit and coarse grit in environments where the temperature isn’t a major factor.

Our dry metal machines serve industries in woodworking, metalworking, composites, and plastics to allow for more uniform and efficient finishing processes. We distribute our products all over North America to corresponding industries in an effort to help them achieve the best possible finish.

Dry Finishing

These three types of work are called steps and can be performed by centrifugal barrel finishing machines. All steps may not be required depending on the product's surface finish specifications. The process may include one, two, or three steps.

In a centrifugal barrel tumbling machine, the operator can adjust the speed of tumbling. This level of control allows for finer finishing and polishing at lower speeds, and aggressive deburring and edge smoothing at higher speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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 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.
