Deburring Machines
Deburring machines use a manual, mechanical, electrochemical or thermal process involving specialized tools to remove unwanted rough or sharp edges or ridges left on a part or assembly by the functions of a tool or machine used in cutting, grinding, drilling, milling, engraving, turning, welding or other related metal fabrication operations.
Best Practices For Avoiding a Burr in the Saddle
Deburring ensures parts fit perfectly during welding or final assembly. This leads to higher-quality products and more efficient workflows that will save your shop time and money – and improve its bottom line.

Improvements in finishing tools over the last decade have opened the door to productivity-enhancing automation. Here are solutions manufacturers can confidently implement today.
Want to reduce costs, improve process consistency, simplify part assembly, increase edge strength and create a more uniform finish? A wide range of operations are good candidates for a switch to automated deburring, and following these steps can help optimize the process for efficiency, quality and productivity.
Coal-fired power plants are turning to ash removal conveyors that eliminate the need and use of ash ponds and support EPA regulations on the safe disposal of coal ash in landfills and surface impoundments. This job shop fabricated five of these large, sophisticated submerged scrapper conveyor systems, which one power plant now uses to recycle coal ash, conserve natural resources and save energy.
Burr King’s VibraKing 200c 20-quart bowl includes a patent-pending chute plug with double seals that guard against leaks during operation. Use for deburring and more in both wet and dry processing.
Unlike conventional grinding, wire EDM, and lasers, Tridex Technology’s SG-1645 and SG-2060 electrochemical grinders quickly provide a burr-free cut in one pass with no heat-affected zone, recast layer, or work hardening of the material. Arthroscopic shaver teeth are commonly produced by conventional abrasive grinding, wire EDM, or laser cutting, but each method has disadvantages.
With its 9-inch-wide footprint, Midwest Automation’s Mighty 9 finishing machine fits virtually anywhere on a shop floor. Fixed belt (FB), adjustable belt (AB), and top brush (TB) abrasive head assemblies provide flexibility by allowing multiple combinations.
