Patent ID: 10399084

Abstract:
A system for screening deburring media during deburring operations of a hardware part comprises a deburring machine comprising a media slurry basin, a deburring media slurry disposed in the media slurry basin, and a media screening device freely movable within the deburring media slurry to define a dynamic zone of capture to capture noncompliant media. The media screening device can comprise a housing defining an inner chamber, and can comprise a plurality of openings each sized to restrict compliant deburring media from passing through the opening, and each opening sized to permit passage of noncompliant deburring media into the inner chamber. Each opening can comprise a counterbore. The media screening device can comprises at least one removable housing body removably coupled to the housing to facilitate removal of captured noncompliant deburring media. A method is disclosed for screening deburring media during deburring of a hardware part.
