While existing machining methods can quickly produce a part that is dimensionally perfect, poor deburring methods add expensive direct labor and create part inconsistencies, which can result in scrap or performance problems with the part. Implementing automated deburring solutions with nylon abrasive brushes can eliminate the technology gap between deburring and machining processes. In many cases, implementation is quick and easy and generates immediate payback that can be measured in productivity and quality gains. Reducing these inputs can offer significant financial justification for automated deburring. Further justification is created by the difficulty of attracting and retaining competent manufacturing personnel for manual deburring positions that can be perceived as dirty and demeaning.
Variation is at the heart of manufacturing process instability.
While the consistency of parts coming from machining processes can be very high, anything can happen to a part it is deburred manually. Since manual deburring is at the end of the manufacturing process, it can be extremely expensive. Nylon abrasive brushes are commonly selected for automated deburring processes for a number of reasons. The capital requirement is low. In-machine deburring using CNC machining centers to remove burrs at the end of the machining process is the least expensive automated deburring method.
