Two major problems faced by a medical device manufacturer when developing a citric-passivation solution was the manufacturing process. After cleaning the parts, the water-break test had to be performed before passivating. The manufacturer could not use fully automated passivation. For quality control purposes, the system needed data tracking. Semi-Automated [...]
With our machines, you benefit from a longer lifespan, reduced costs, and less frequent maintenance for finishing or deburring.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is the most trusted dry metal machine manufacturer. Our customers can choose from a wide range of dry-metal machines to improve the safety, efficiency, and dependability of their metalworking operations.
There are so many options, it can be difficult to choose the right media. Use of incorrect media can cause serious problems like media sticking to the part or causing damage.
Our metalworking machines are trusted by clients in a variety of industries.
Mass finishing is a set of manufacturing processes that applies surface finishing to large quantities of parts simultaneously. In mass finishing, loose metal parts are placed in a container, and the motion of the container creates friction on the metal surface. This friction results in a cutting action on the metal surface, which can vary from heavy grinding to fine polishing.
The speed of the centrifugal barrel tumble machine can be adjusted by the operator. This control allows for finer finishing, polishing and edge smoothing at lower speeds and more aggressive deburring at higher speeds.
Perfect for digital applications, the GoCrease creasers allow documents printed on heavy or coated stock to be creased prior to folding, creating a crisp more accurate fold with no cracking
The centrifugal barrel tumble machines are particularly well-suited for removing large burrs and blending lines that can be caused by machining. These machines are also excellent for polishing and burnishing. Centrifugal barrel machines can be used with various kinds of ceramic or organic media (e.g. corn-cob), and can achieve almost any surface finish, from super-fine polishing to burr removal.
When searching for the right dry metal machine for your application, Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers some of the most reliable equipment. We provide our customers with a range of dry metal machines to increase the efficiency, dependability, and safety of metalworking applications.
Centrifugal barrel tumbling machines are especially well-adapted for removal of significant burrs and blending lines left by machining. They also offer excellent performance in polishing and burnishing applications. When used with various types of ceramic and organic (e.g., corn-cob) media, centrifugal barrel machines can achieve virtually any part finish from super-fine surface finish polishing to burr removal.
With our traditional Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. manufacturing equipment, you can upgrade your plant and meet your manufacturing needs. Excellent quality, durability safety, and operational ease.
A centrifugal container tumbler works in a similar way to a Ferris Wheel, with smaller baskets placed on the edges. A centrifugal finishing device, also known as harperizing, has four barrels. Each of these barrels represents a place on a Ferris wheels and one large wheel. Each revolution on the flywheel results into one complete rotation each barrel. High centrifugal forces are generated by the flywheel, which is fast turning. These forces can generate up to 15 – 20 times the force and gravity of gravity. The contents will slide against each others under high pressure. The increased pressure allows faster processing of metal components and consistent results.
Finishing processes can be used to improve the following characteristics: appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs and other surface flaws, and control surface friction.
Surface Finishing Machine has a metallic bowl that holds media, water, and finishing compounds.
Metal finishing aids in the reduction of wear and tear on metallic products. Aside from aesthetics, it has a wide range of industrial applications. It helps to improve electrical conductivity, torque resistance, and metal solderability, among other things.
