Deburring Sheet Metal Parts

Grind master offers this in form of total solutions.

Deburring sheet metal parts. Actually creating a deburring standard is a good exercise as well for those shops that have yet to formalize work procedures. The geometry number of pieces and part dimensions also have an influence on the machine configuration. The deburring operation already was a bottleneck for the fabricator as it is for many shops. The method of removing the burr of metal parts by electrolysis.

To some a part is considered deburred when the vertical burr is removed. Burrs cause scratches which then cause complaints among customers. To others a part isn t fully deburred until the edge of the part has a radius. As of now there are no industry standards for deburring.

Deburring and rounding edges provides products with better protection for example when the sheet metal parts are stacked on top of each other for transport. Without a doubt the key to deburring small metal parts is to not form a burr in the first place which not coincidentally is one of the underpinnings of metal cutting s business. Our proprietary method allows us to cut thick walled and thin walled tubes as well as hard soft and specialty metals without forming a burr at all. Arku offers machines for the deburring and edge rounding of thin sheet metal parts after laser cutting and punching.

If you simply need to deburr the sides of your parts a straightforward belt sander could be ideal. So the only standard is your standard. What s right for you will ultimately depend on your needs. It s a tool that can be used to boost quality and impress sophisticated oem customers that may be looking to expand their metal fabrication supply chains.

Deburring sheet metal increases product quality. Their machines have the capability to finish parts as small as a 50 cent pieces and have very few components that when combined can be easily tailored to suit a variety of applications. Brushes also excel at edge rounding something discs have more trouble with and are able to complete more complicated 360 degree deburring and finishing tasks. This method can have certain side effects because the electrolyte is corrosive and near the burr is also affected by electrolysis the surface will lose luster and even affect dimensional accuracy.

That meant more laser cutting which also meant more manual deburring to smooth out the edges and remove the remnants of the metal tabs used to keep the parts connected to the skeleton once the laser cut out a majority of the shape. Various requirements of deburring such as radiusing or burr removal require indepth process know how and experience. Metal industry including advanced metals such as titanium and nickel alloy require deburring of sheets and flat surfaces on the edges.
