SurTec 414 Neutral Activator

As an alternative to mineral acids, the SurTec 414 neutral activator is able to remove efficiently rust and scales, e.g. after deburring processes and offers additional advantages for the operator. The product is nonhazardous, which means easy handling and higher workplace safety, according to the company.

Deburring Systems

The key to success when individually deburring parts from bulk goods is the use of intelligent automation systems in connection with precise and accurate cleaning and deburring technology. Strama-MPS offers both main areas of expertise required for maximum outputs, i.e. automation and cleaning, and links them with reliable processes for superior cleaning and deburring results.

Single-Axis Compliant Deburring Tools

ATI Industrial Automation has developed a new series of single-axis compliant deburring tools. The RS-151, RS-340 and RS-660-ER models provide radial, single-axis compliance, allowing the spindle and cutter to pivot in one plane about a single-axis to provide high stiffness parallel to (and excellent compliance perpendicular to) the direction of motion resulting in exceptional surface finishes.

Mini Chamfer Tools

Rugged enough for use with virtually all materials, Carmex’s new Mini Chamfer tools are the ideal solution for
deburring, back chamfering and grooving operations. Designed with spiral flutes for smoother cutting action, the tools offer double-side cutting and are available in both long-reach 45-degree and 150-degree configurations.

Flexible Hone Plays Role in Raising the Costa Concordia

12/01/2015
The Flex-Hone Tool, characterized by the small, abrasive globules that are permanently mounted to flexible filaments, has long been used for everything from automated metal finishing to maintenance and repair operations. Now the Flex-Hone can add one more claim to its resume: playing a small, but important, role in one of the largest engineering feats in marine history—the raising of the shipwrecked Costa Concordia.

Deburring cross-drilled holes

One of the most nagging problems in manufacturing is the deburring of cross-drilled holes. J.W. Done Corporation developed the ORBITOOL in response to this situation. It is the only tool capable of in-process deburring of cross-drilled holes. The tool removes burrs specifically from the intersection of the crossholes. The operation can be tailored to leave a minimally broken edge or a blended radius.
