movement. This combination of abrasive envelopment and high-speed rotational contact can produce important func- tional surface conditioning effects and deburring and radius formation very rapidly.


There are many CMMs.


One software makes them more powerful. Whether you have an existing CMM device or about to purchase one, Verisurf-X is the only software you need. With its 3D CAD- based architecture, flexible reporting options, and ease of use, Verisurf-X will reduce training time and increase productivity, right out of the box. No matter what you are making or measuring, Verisurf-X provides the power to drive your devices, reduce cost, improve quality, and streamline data management – all while maintaining CAD-based digital workflow.


Unlike buff, brush, belt and polish methods or even robotic deburring, abrasive operations on rotating compo- nents are performed on all features of the part simultane- ously. This produces a feature-to-feature and part-to-part uniformity that is almost impossible to duplicate by any other method. Sur- face finishes and effects can be gener- ated on the entire exterior of complex parts, and also fixtured nonrotational components. Various surface-finish effects can be obtained by control- ling variables of the process such as rotational part speed, part positioning, cycle times, abrasive particle size and characteristics, and others. Surface-finish effects in TAM are generated by the high peripheral speed of rotating parts and the large number and intensity of abrasive particle-to-part surface contacts or impacts in a given unit of time (200–500 per mm²/sec). It should be noted that surface-finish ef- fects developed from this process depart significantly from those obtained from air or wheel blasting. TAM processes can produce much more refined surfaces by virtue of the fact that the rotational movement of parts processed develop a very fine finish pattern and a much more level surface profile than is possible from pressure and impact methods. A very important functional aspect of

TAM technology is its ability to develop needed surface finishes in a low-tem- perature operation (in contrast with conventional wheel and belt grinding methods), with no phase shift or struc- tural changes in the surface layer of the metal. A further feature of the process is that it produces a more random pattern of surface tracks than the more linear abrasive methods such as wheel grind- ing or belt grinding. The nonlinear finish pattern that results often enhances the surface in such a way as to make it
