Deburring is a crucial component of the manufacturing process that enhances the product’s final quality by eliminating sharp edges from the surface of a workpiece created by the initial machining phases. Apex Machine Group manufactures custom wet and dry metal finishing equipment that effectively removes unwanted burrs created in the machining process.
During manufacturing, metal parts can undergo many processes such as stamping, grinding, turning, engraving, plasma cutting, blanking, and milling to shape them into the desired form. These processes often leave metal ridges or protrusions, known as burrs, on the finished product. Deburring is the method used to remove these imperfections from the component. There are three common types of burrs:
Burrs can affect the quality, functionality, effectiveness, longevity, and safety of your machining parts. Failure to remove burrs can cause several problems such as improper fit and assembly of parts, reduced part life due to corrosion and stress, safety hazards, and reduced aesthetics. Deburring helps eliminate the many risks posed by burrs, ensuring your metal products have smooth, high-quality, burr-free finishes.
Deburring is the method used to remove imperfections from the component. It helps eliminate the many risks posed by burrs, ensuring your metal products have high-quality, smooth finishes. There are several deburring methods to choose from — all of which depend on the material, size and location of the burrs, cost, and product volume.
Below are some common deburring processes:
Deburring is an essential finishing process to ensure a high-quality end component with maximal working life potential. The benefits of deburring are evident and include the following:
Automated deburring machines offer manufacturing facilities a significant edge over manual methods. CNC deburring machines for sheet metal are equipped to handle higher volumes of parts while maintaining precision and speed. This allows for faster production cycles, higher quality and consistency, which results in an increase in productivity and profitability.
Deburring is considered a potentially hazardous task. Using CNC machines will allow you to reduce the risk of injuries with reduced manual intervention and relocate skilled workers to more critical processes.
