Why Invest On Timesaver Deburring Machines
Timesavers have been producing the world’s most popular and reliable grinding and timesaver deburring machines. Timesavers are used for parts that are too large for a vibratory machine. Timesavers have a reputation for being workhorses. Their reliability is legendary. The normal deburring process is typically is done by tumbling parts in a barrel or a vibratory bowl, however, because this will strip a final part of its finish, hand deburring is preferred for pre-plated or painted materials. Timesavers are used to remove any scratches or imperfections, and are typically used on metal stamped parts that require a grain finish, similar to that on stainless steel appliances.
If your process or machines shear, plasma cut, water jet, punch, laser, or mill, you’ve got burrs. As of now, there are no industry standards for deburring. So the only standard is your standard. To some, a part is considered deburred when the vertical burr is removed. To others, a part isn’t fully deburred until the edge of the part has a radius.
A basic decision that must be considered is whether the material should be processed in a wet or a dry machine. Wet and dry machines both process the material in the same way; wet machines simply add coolant that is sprayed on the part as it is processed. Dry machines are often the first choice because they are generally less expensive to purchase and often have a longer life. There are numerous advantages to processing materials on a wet machine. Wet Machines include a filter unit that also pumps the coolant on the part, and usually include a drying unit that removes the coolant from the part as it leaves the machine.
A belt/disc machine is the staple deburring process for the aerospace industry. An abrasive belt on the first head can be used to remove large burrs. The disc on head two, loaded with non-woven abrasive pad, rotates to deburr from multiple directions and results in a swirl pattern that is desirable to prevent fracturing when the work piece is bent on a press brake. When only the disc is used, this machine can produce a burr-free edge without harming the surface, making it an ideal machine to deburr galvanized products. Disc machines are available in wet or dry configurations with the possibility to process very small parts. Belt or a combination of belt and brushes is the most common way to remove burrs. Parts are fed into the machine at a slight angle so the sides of the part are deburred as well as the leading or trailing edges. The abrasive belt removes the vertical burr from the surface of the part. This process creates a secondary burr by rolling some of the burr material over the edge.
Timesaver deburring machines have various ways to deburr depending on your requirements. If you want to remove the vertical standing burr, a drum/belt is all you need. If you want to remove the sharpness from the edges of your parts, then a more specialized machine should be considered.
