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.

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.

Top/bottom machines process both top and base surfaces in one pass. Every inch of every piece is processed exactly the exact same across 100% of the machine width.

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.

Material Finish Machines Revit

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.

There are many media options. It is not easy to select the right media. The wrong media can cause major problems such as media being stuck in a hole or damaging the part.

The 2000-Series machines were designed with higher production requirements in mind. They are designed to handle such applications as deburring, slag grinding, calibrating/dimensioning, edge radiusing, paint/surface preparation, finishing/polishing or a combination of these applications.

Material Finishing Machines Garment

We have clients who depend on our metalworking machines in a wide range of industries.

Centrifugal barrel finishing machines can perform each of these three types of work, also called steps. Depending on surface finishing specifications for your product, not all steps may be necessary. Your process might include a single step, two steps, or three steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Metal finishing is the process of altering an object's surface in order to improve its appearance and/or durability. Metal finishing is related to electroplating, which is the electrodeposition of a thin surface coating of metal onto another.

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.

Surface Finishing Machine has a metallic bowl that holds media, water, and finishing compounds.
