Material Finishing Machine Assembling Work

Built in a heavy duty construction with a smaller footprint designed to accommodate a job shop with various applications such as deburring, dross removal, calibrating/dimensioning, edge radiusing or finishing.

The FC 10 Automatic Collator can be described as one of the most versatile and flexible collators currently on the market. It's reliable and easy-to-use, interfaces well with a number of bookletmakers, such as the Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. Scrams, and SF2 series.

Polishing is typically a dry process that uses ground-up corn cob media with embedded polishing compound. Dry processing can also be done with ground-up walnut shells.

No matter the number of steps involved, each step should be done independently. This means that you can't do deburring and polishing at the same moment. Instead, first deburr, then polish. If more than one step are needed, the steps must all be done in ascending ordinal order of smoothness.

Do not forget to add the detergent. Although you might believe that the cleaning compound is only for metal parts, the detergent is essential for the tumbling media. Cleaning compound provides lubricity that keeps pores open in the tumble media. The cutting action of the tumble media stops working if the pores become clogged. Metal parts will turn black. You have probably forgotten to add the soap if the parts turn black.

Vibratory tumblers use side-to-side movements to shake a container or bowl in a circular fashion, similar to those used for rock polishing. Finishing occurs when the parts and media are rubbed against each another.
