Deburring & Finishing
much more receptive as a bonding substrate for subsequent coating and even plating operations.
TAM Applications TAM provides a method whereby fi nal deburring, radius formation and blending in of machining irregularities could be performed in a single machining operation. This opera- tion can accomplish in a few minutes what in many cases took hours to perform manually. It has become obvious that the technology could address edge-fi nishing needs of other types of rotationally oriented components such as gears, turbocharger rotors, bearing cages, pump impellers, propellers, and many other rotational parts. Nonrotational parts can also be processed by fi xturing them to the pe- riphery of disk-like fi xtures. Many larger and more complex rotationally oriented parts, which can pose a severe chal- lenge for conventional mechanical fi nishing methods, can easily be processed.
TAM as a surface-conditioning method is a blend of current machining and surface-fi nishing technologies. Like machining processes the energy used to remove mate- rial from the part is concentrated in the part itself, not the abrasive material interfacing with part surfaces, and like many surface-fi nishing processes material removal is not accomplished by a cutting tool with a single point of contact, but by complete envelopment of the exterior areas of the part with abrasive materials. As a result deburr- ing, edge fi nishing, surface blending and smoothing, and surface conditioning are performed on all exterior exposed surfaces, edges, and features of the part simultaneously. Many metal parts that are machined by being held in a ro- tational workholding device (for example: chucks, between centers, rotary tables, etc.) are potential candidates for TAM processes, and in many cases these fi nal deburring and surface conditioning operations can be performed in minutes, if not in seconds.
