A client came to us recently with a problem. They couldn’t reach the roundness specifications for their hydraulic valve with their usual burnishing tools. The pressure was causing deformation of the low-carbon steel part. Specification Roundness – .0003” Roughness – Ra 10 micro inch Competitor’s tool performance Roundness – .0008” Roughness – Ra 10 micro inch So we recommended using …
We’re here at week 5 of our CNC and High-Pressure Water Jet Deburring Series and we’re taking a look at the benefits of implementing a CNC-based high-pressure cleaning and deburring process (if you missed our post about pumps and nozzles, make sure to catch up here). One of the biggest benefits of utilizing a CNC system in parts cleaning is …
Missed last week’s piece on CNC Basics? This week in our CNC Deburring Series, we will take a deeper dive into axes. Axes play a role in CNC-controlled deburring programs in the same way they do in machining processes. When we pair decades of experience in handling and pressurizing water with the precise control of CNC operation, the end result …
This week, we’re taking a look at CNC controls in deburring and parts cleaning. What is CNC? And how it can be used with these technologies? Combining CNC controls with high-pressure water deburrs and cleans parts in one eco-friendly process, removing burrs and loose chips even in deep holes – all while leaving the part clean and free of debris. …
In the past weeks, we have discussed types of burrs and the many methods of removal and today we’re taking a look at mechanical hard tool deburring. Mechanical deburring employs cutting, grinding, milling, or brushing tools to remove burrs through direct contact. It is ideal when burrs are simply too heavy or strong to remove with other methods. Mechanical deburring is …
As we have discussed previously, there are many ways to deburr. This week we’re taking a closer look at High-Pressure Water Jet Deburring. The first thing that bears mentioning is that CNC-controlled, high-pressure water jet deburring produces accurate, repeatable, and predictable results. For the right situation and parts, it’s an ideal solution to remove burrs. High-Pressure Water Jet Deburring is …
Last week we looked at the five classes that encompass most burrs. This week we are exploring the many common deburring methods that are frequently considered for removal. There are many options for deburring; manual vs. mechanical, with or without chemicals or solvents, explosive methods, grinding, tumbling, the list is extensive. The key is to determine the best method to …
Last week we spent some time covering the identification of burrs. Why? Because it can help you pinpoint the best removal processes and prevention methods. This week we’re looking at the classes burrs fall into. We’ve discussed that burrs come in many types, and they can then be categorized in several different ways. They can be sorted by machining process, …
Just joining us? Take a look at last week’s Deburring 101: Reasons Deburring is Crucial Burrs are not “one size fits all.” Burrs come in as many different types as there are machining processes and methods. Identifying burrs allows you to address not only removal processes but also the possibilities of preventing them from occurring in the first place. Examining …
