With the many options available, there is a certain art to selecting the correct media. Using incorrect media can cause significant problems, such as media becoming stuck in a hole in the part or damaging the part.
Speed and versatility are the hallmarks of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. bookletmakers and finishing systems. Our Sprint series models enjoy a solid reputation in the print finishing industry for performance and dependability. The revolutionary SF2 bookletmaker utilizes wire-fed stitching technology previously found only in larger systems costing up to three times more.

Are you frustrated by flat parts Flat parts such washers pose the biggest challenge in centrifugal barrel finish. They can stick to or wick together on the barrel sides, so only one side is deburred. Add glass bead blasting media into the centrifugal-barrel finishing process. The beads coat parts so that they won't stick together or to the barrel. Glass beads are also great for parts that may be difficult to separate.

Top/bottom machine processes both top and below the surface in one pass. Every square inch is processed exactly as it should be over the full width of the machine.
The fastest and most cost-effective way to deburr and/or polish large amounts of metal parts is by using centrifugal barrel tumble machines. A centrifugal barrel finishing device, also known as an industrial tumbler and rotary tumbler, uses a cyclical sliding motion to grind the metal surface. A type of mass finishing, centrifugal barrel finish is one.
The principle of a centrifugal barrel tumbler is similar to that of a Ferris wheel. Smaller baskets are mounted along the edges and sides of large wheels. The centrifugal finishing system or harperizing machine has four barrels. Each barrel represents a seat on a Ferris Wheel and one large flywheel. Each revolution of the flywheel causes one barrel to turn. The flywheel's speed generates high centrifugal forces that can exceed 15 to 20 times the force gravity. This causes the contents to slide against one another under high pressure. The increased pressure allows metal parts to be processed quickly and can also ensure consistent, smooth finishes.

A centrifugal finishing machine, or harperizing system, has 4 barrels, each barrel representing a seat on a Ferris wheel, and one large flywheel. Each revolution of the flywheel results in one complete rotation of each barrel. The fast-turning flywheel generates extremely high centrifugal forces, up to 15 – 20 times the force of gravity, causing the contents to slide against each other under high pressure. The increased pressure allows for fast processing times of metal parts, as well as smooth, consistent finishes.
Every Triumph trimmer features stationary or movable transparent Lexan safety guards. All models are tested by independent safety labs and comply with all applicable international safety regulations. Triumph trimmers are certified under a quality management system established in all company areas under the DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 standards.
Our dry metal machines offer solutions for many applications such as grinding, graining/deburring/finishing, oxide removal, dimensioning/edge radiusing, dimensioning, dimensioning, and other processes. We offer either dry or wet machine configurations, depending on what materials are being processed. Due to the low levels of grit or coarse grit needed for grinding in environments with high temperatures, we recommend dry machines.

Top/bottom machine processes top and bottom in one pass, with 100% uniformity. Every square inch of any part is processed the same way over 100% of the machine's width.
Finishes are applied at the end of a construction or manufacturing process to form the final surface of an element. They can protect the element they finish from impact, water, frost, corrosion, abrasion, and other elements, as well as be decorative.
The Inovatec Automatic Surface Finishing Machine has a PLC control system that allows you to control the entire surface finishing process. It is a completely automated and labor-saving solution. Suitable for deburring and polishing a large batch of small parts at once.
Metal finishing is the process of altering an object's surface in order to improve its appearance and/or durability. Metal finishing is related to electroplating, which is the electrodeposition of a thin surface coating of metal onto another.
