No matter how many steps are involved in your process each step must take place separately. Also, polishing and deburring cannot be done at the same time. Instead, polish first and deburr second. If more steps are required, they must be done in ascending order. Polishing and deburring should be done first.
The centrifugal bar finishing machine is versatile and is used in many different industries for metal finishing.
Want a matte or satin finish? Add aluminum oxide blasting media to your centrifugal barrel finishing process, and the resulting part will be matte instead of shiny.
If you are looking for a metalworking tool to finish, deburr, or perform other processes, there are two choices: wet or dry. These machines complete the same job using different methods. Dry machines don't need to use any coolant, but wet machines can disperse coolant onto the surface.
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.
You don't get a machine when you buy a Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass finishing product. Instead, you get a complete, worry-free package. Our in-house production of mass finish equipment and media, customer-focused designs, our own trained service technicians, spare parts, and waste water recycling make Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass ending equipment a complete and sustainable solution for our customers.
The 2000-Series machines were designed with higher production requirements in mind. They are designed to handle such applications as deburring, slag grinding, calibrating/dimensioning, edge radiusing, paint/surface preparation, finishing/polishing or a combination of these applications.
Centrifugal barrel-tumblers are a special kind of barrel-tumblers that use centrifugal forces to increase the effects of barrel tumbling.
Our machines have a longer life expectancy, lower costs, and require less maintenance for finishing or deburring.
When selecting a metalworking machine to perform finishing, deburring, and other processes, you must choose between wet or dry metal machines. These complete the same process using different methods, with wet working machines dispersing a coolant mix onto the surface of processed parts, while dry machines function without this mix.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. works hard to provide the best replacement parts for your machines.
A centrifugal barrel finishing system can also increase consistency in quality. Handwork can only achieve a minimum of 80% acceptance rate. A centrifugal barrel finisher allows you to attain much higher acceptance rates. Furthermore, the surface finish from centrifugal parts tumbling is uniform in all directions unlike hand polishing.
The speed of a centrifugal barrel totumbling machine can be controlled by the operator. This level of control allows the operator to finely finish and polish at lower speeds, while aggressive deburring can be achieved at higher speeds.
An industrial tumbler machine can perform three types of work, in ascending order by smoothness.
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.
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 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.
