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 principle behind a centrifugal bar tumbler is the same as a Ferris wheels, but with smaller baskets attached to the edges of large wheels. A centrifugal finishing or harperizing device has 4 barrels. Each barrel is a seat on the Ferris wheel and one large flywheel. Each revolution of a flywheel results is one complete rotation of each barrel. The flywheel spins fast and generates very high centrifugal force, which can be as high as 15 - 20 times that of gravity. This causes contents to slide against eachother under high pressure. The higher pressure allows for faster processing of metal parts and smooth, consistent finishes.
The GoCrease criser is ideal for digital applications. It allows documents printed on heavy, coated stock to be folded prior to folding. This ensures crisper, cleaner folds without cracking
Flat parts make you feel lost? Flat parts, like washers, pose one of the most difficult challenges in centrifugal-barrel finishing. Parts tend to stick to the barrel and wick together so that only one side can be deburred. To solve this problem, you can add glass bead blasting medium to the centrifugal drum finishing process. The beads protect the parts from sticking to each another and to the barrel. Glass beads can be used for parts that have a tendency to cup together.
One manufacturer of medical devices faced two challenges when it came to designing a citric solution for passivation. This prevented them from using a fully automated passivation process. To ensure quality control, the system must have data tracking. Semi-Automated [...]
As a rule, media that is darker cuts faster. If plastic media is very dark it's more likely that it will be quickly cut using a more aggressive abrasive. Mild cutting is possible with mildly-abrasive mass finishing in lighter media.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is known for its bookletmakers and finishing systems that are quick and versatile. The Sprint series models have a strong reputation for reliability and performance in the printing finishing industry. The SF2 bookletmaker uses wire-fed stitching technology that was previously only available in larger systems, which can run up to three times as much.
The GoCrease creasers, which are ideal for digital applications, allow documents printed on heavy and coated stock to crease before folding. This results in crisper folds that don't crack.
Every Triumph trimmer is equipped with either movable or stationary transparent Lexan safety guards. All models have passed independent safety tests and are compliant with all applicable international safety regulations. Triumph trimmers can be certified using a quality control system. It is used in all company areas according to the DIN EN ISO 9001 -2008 standards.
The law of attraction between positively and negatively charged particles underpins the finishing technique of applying a coating to a metal surface. The paint is usually positively charged, while the support to be painted is negatively charged because it is wired to a strong electric field.
Finishing operations, also known as finishing manufacturing, occur at the end of the manufacturing process, after the part has been formed and secondary processes have been completed.
Finishing mortars and concretes; natural and artificial masonry materials; decorative ceramics; materials and items made of wood, paper, glass, plastic, and metals; and paints and varnishes are the most common finishing materials used in modern construction.
