What is Centrifugal ISO-Finishing?
In a matter of minutes this deburring tool can clean up metal, acrylic or rubber parts are finished in what could take hours or even days by hand. The finish achieved by these machines is isotropic, meaning parts are polished uniformly and evenly, something that cannot be achieved by hand. Variable speed control allows these centrifugal machines to achieve whatever finish the operator desires, from a simple polish at low speed, to full scale deburring and edge radiusing.
Each tumbling machine contains four barrels that are mounted to a drum. The operator fills the barrel with media, parts and water, roughly 50-90% full. During operation, the entire drum of the deburring tool rotates like a Ferris wheel. As the speed increases, the media and parts rub against one another randomly and repeatedly, removing even the smallest imperfections. In a matter of minutes, the finishing cycle is complete and the parts are ready to be separated from the media.
TWO STEP HIGH-SPEED PROCESSING
Similar processing on pistons…
Step 1 is a smoothing operation, Step 2 utilizes dry process finishing media to develop the final polished super finish…
