Processing surfaces with the deburring machine | ARKU

If desired or not, when you deburr sheet metal, you will always process the surface as well. Hence, if the deburring machine is already processing the surface – why not consider applying an actual surface finishing as well?

A deburring machine processes the entire sheet metal that is passing through, even though the burrs may only occur on the edges. Due to the design, it is inevitable that brushes or abrasive belts leave marks on the sheet metal surface. This is especially true for materials made of stainless steel or aluminum. These metals do not corrode because they are often finished without paint or other coatings. In cases, where the surface is clearly visible, trim parts affect the overall appearance of a product.

For this reason, the materials have some surface texture after deburring process - whether intended or not. However, a deburring machine cannot produce all the surfaces as required by the DIN standards. For obvious reasons: To begin with, the main function of a deburring machine is to remove burrs from sheet metal. These occur on the edges and not on the entire surface.
