A vibratory deburring machine is an excellent tool for improving the surface finish of many metal castings. Its tumbling action can reduce the roughness of metal parts by 0.2 ra or more. These machines are designed to process large quantities of small parts and can be used in an assembly line. Most up-to-date models feature sealed bearings and require little routine maintenance.
Vibratory deburring machines consist of several parts, including a vibratory tub, an electric control panel, and deburring media. The vibratory motion is created by a motor and a network of springs. In addition, water is added to the bowl, which reduces friction between the parts and the media. The water also acts as a carrier for scraped materials from the parts. The media are the substances added to the parts during the vibratory process. The media used in deburring machines can be abrasive or non-abrasive, depending on the material being deburred.
A vibratory deburring machine can be used to clean a variety of parts, including aerospace parts and telescoping magnesium steering columns. They can also be used to perform burnishing, edge breaking, and corrosion inhibition. The first vibratory deburring machines were circular bowl models, which are designed to avoid damaging the part while deburring. They are known for their efficiency, high-speed operation, and cost-effectiveness.
Vibratory deburring machines are a great option for polishing small and medium-sized components. The bowl vibrates at a high speed of about 1500 rpm, which effectively removes small and medium-sized burrs and defects. They are also effective for light deburring, radiusing, burnishing, and descaling.
