Small Sheet Metal Part Deburring

When it comes to placing the parts on the conveyor see figure 1 waguespack said operators place the parts at a diagonal so that the belts catch all four corners in a consistent manner the result is a consistent edge quality that was never achieved with the manual deburring see figure 2.

Small sheet metal part deburring.

Our proprietary method allows us to cut thick walled and thin walled tubes as well as hard soft and specialty metals without forming a burr at all. The geometry number of pieces and part dimensions also have an influence on the machine configuration. We had a 1 8 aluminum sheet metal part that would take 45 minutes to de burr by hand and was 4 to shop out to the vibratory people. If you can use a plastic media then separating your very small parts will be much easier as you can pour the whole affair into a bucket of water you guessed it the metal.

Their machines have the capability to finish parts as small as a 50 cent pieces and have very few components that when combined can be easily tailored to suit a variety of applications. Fladder deburring machines are unique in that they can debur and polish thin sheet metal thick sheet metal and even formed or machined parts. Finishing is done to alter the surface of a workpiece getting rid of any scaling and pitting to enhance its quality or prepare it for a next step like painting. I d look for a vibratory tumbling shop.

It is for this reason that deburring small parts is recognised for a vital part in your daily business routine. Arku offers machines for the deburring and edge rounding of thin sheet metal parts after laser cutting and punching. Without a doubt the key to deburring small metal parts is to not form a burr in the first place which not coincidentally is one of the underpinnings of metal cutting s business. They do stuff like this for four or five bucks with a couple days turn around.

The manufacturers will recommend the type of media for your particular part and material. The parts i make are all pretty small so i bought a bowl type vibratory tumbler. It is suitable for internal burrs that are difficult to remove especially for small burrs on products such as pump body and valve body. If any individual part of the machinery fails then however small it may appear it could have much larger consequences.

The method of chemical deburring is to use the electrochemical reaction principle to automatically and selectively remove the burrs from the parts made of metal materials. The metal industry is one that requires strong efficient machinery that is reliable at all times. Laitram runs the deburring machine at around 3 to 4 feet per minute.
