Free Sample Part Finishing with High-speed, Hands-free Centrifugal Iso-Finishing

For additional Information contact the Contributing Editor: Dave Davidson Deburring/Finishing Technologist

What is Centrifugal Iso-Finishing and how does it work? Centrifugal Iso-Finishing is a high-energy and hands-free processing method for deburring, edge-contour, surface finishing and polishing metal and plastic parts from the aerospace, automotive, medical, dental, electronic, jewelry, tooling, 3D printed parts, CNC precision machined components and other industries.

How it Works... Centrifugal Iso-Finishing Technology operation is similar to the operation of a "Ferris Wheel" but this Ferris wheel operates at high rotational speed with the turret swinging the barrels around its periphery while the barrels counter-rotate at high speed. This motion imparts high centrifugal force to the parts and media in the processing chambers and finishing and polishing work is performed 10 times faster than conventional low-energy finishing equipment. On many parts, single digit micro-inch Ra surface finishes can be achieved.

If you are interested in outsourcing the deburring and finishing of some of your challenging parts or components see the instructions and information needed to have your parts sample finished for your evaluation here: https://dryfinish.wordpress.com/2016/08/05/contract-finishing-and-free-sample-part-processing-for-centrifugal-isotropic-finishing-and-polishing/

If you would like to have a centrifugal iso-finishing capability at your plant or shop, see the instruction sheet here for sending your parts in for sample finishing: https://dryfinish.wordpress.com/2020/06/23/centrifugal-iso-finishing-free-sample-processing-information-and-request-form/

What we do and how to contact us. We help manufacturers minimize hand-deburring operations and develop highly polished isotropic surfaces when needed with high-speed and hands-free processing. This work is performed on all sorts of metal alloys and plastic materials. See my contact information below:

ABOVE: Video of Centrifugal Iso-Finishing operation for producing smooth, highly reflective polished surfaces in a hands-free and high-speed operation. This multi-step process is used on many different parts types to take surfaces from raw machined, cast or 3D printed surfaces and transform them to polished low-micro-inch surfaces that are functionally superior and aesthetically attractive.
