Deburring & Finishing
“In the aircraft engine market, most of the deburring systems involve robotics. In the automotive engine market, the deburring process is being integrated into inline CNC systems where deburring is simply a step in the machining process. A third type of automation involves the use of dedicated deburring machines. This type of deburr- ing automation is more common in Tier 1 plants that make engine, transmission, steering, and suspension components and involves machines that are designed to process a particular part in a very high volume,” said Sockman.

“The segment of the auto industry we deal with most is making their investments in flexible systems for engine and transmissions that readily accept on-machine deburring. In the aircraft industry, for example, we put a robot right at the tail end of three grinders and those four machines work together in the cell. They have a single takt time and basically operate under a completely lean single parts flow-type opera- tion. As soon as you take a mass finishing approach then you’ve lost single part flow and you’re back in batch and queue.”
Tool Works in Any Rotating Spindle
Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM: Los Angeles) supplies a complete line of surface finishing solutions for inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) ap- plications. “For ID surface improvement and burr removal, BRM’s Flex-Hone tool can be used equally well as a hand-held tool or fixtured in a machine tool to re- move burrs and improve the surface finish of cylinder walls,” said Michael Miller,
