Laser cutting is one of the many technological innovations that have advanced traditional metal processing techniques. This process involves using a high-powered laser beam to cut through or modify the shape of metallic and nonmetallic surfaces. It gained immense popularity in the industry because of its ability to perform precise cuts by heating, melting, and…
Click to Expand Metal processing involves changing the shapes, dimensions, properties, and finishes of metal parts before use or assembly. Most metals are easy to machine using basic equipment and techniques, but mixed and rare earth metals have unique chemical properties that require specialized machining processes. At Apex Machine Group, we specialize in various mixed…
Various machining processes can produce undesired burrs on workpieces of all kinds. Not only are these imperfections unattractive, but they can also negatively affect the performance and safety of the part or component. In these situations, deburring machines can be used to remove burrs and produce smooth, high-quality parts with optimal functionality. Here, we will…
Finishing and deburring metal is an essential process for any metalworking shop. With the right deburring machine, your team can quickly remove the burrs and rough edges from formed metal parts, driving more efficient and reliable finishing operations.
Have you ever considered automating your metal deburring process? If so, you’ve probably looked into a few automated deburring tools for metal—and seen their imposing price tags. Indeed, many companies haven’t incorporated deburring machines into their production yet, largely due to upfront costs. What you may not know is that this investment more than pays for itself by driving shop productivity and performance. At Apex Machine Group , our mission is to make your shop more productive with the finest metal
Edge rounding (also known as edge radiusing) is the process of removing the vertical burrs, nibble marks, or scallops on the holes and edges of a deburred metal part. Metalworkers use edge rounding to break the edge of processed components, allowing for optimal coating coverage and corrosion protection. As you might expect, there are a variety…
Abrasive tooling is one of the most crucial components of metal finishing. Choose the wrong type, and you’re left with a frustrating deburring process—or a finish that’s not acceptable to your customers. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right abrasives when finishing or deburring metal parts. So then, how should you go about selecting the best abrasive tooling for your shop’s unique needs? At Apex Machine Group, we provide a variety of high-quality metal finishing solutions, including abrasive
Metal finishing is an essential process for producing strong, high-quality metallic products. This is especially true for specialized metal parts that require specific chemical, electrical, or tarnish resistances. There are also many types of metal finishes, which can impact material hardness, workflow speeds, production costs, and more. With so many variables, it can be tough to find the right finishes for your unique metalworking projects, let alone achieve them. So today, let’s review four of the most common (and practical) types
Metal finishing machines are some of the most powerful and versatile solutions on the market. These tools use a combination of abrasive belts, rotating brushes, oscillating discs, and customizable heads to process metal parts in a single pass—and fully automate your metalworking processes. Wet and dry metal finishing machines are also compatible with many types of materials, making them ideal across a wide variety of applications. Let’s explore some of the core applications of metal finishing equipment to give you
