Edge rounding.
The edge rounding of sheet metal delivers the desired edge radius to the material. The sharp edges are removed and the edges are prepared for further processing such as painting.
Slag removal.
Often not fully ejected slag (dross) sticks to thick materials during plasma or oxyfuel cutting. This slag has to be removed before the part can undergo further processing. Unlike burrs, slag can easily be chipped off with the right tools.
Oxide removal.
Oxide byproducts are removed from the cutting edges via a combination of tools and machine operations. This byproduct occurs when cutting metal via CO2 laser.
Surface finishing.
Usually, the sheet metal surface is already treated during the mechanical deburring operation. This could be the result of the deburring and rounding tools or purposefully applied by a surface finishing unit.
Removing Stubborn Burrs with Our Deburring Tools
There have been many positive changes for the employees at O'Neal Manufacturing Services with the EdgeBreaker®. “It doesn’t just allow us to produce high-quality deburred parts on time, our staff loves the machine. It ensures their safe return home, every day.” according to Daniel Webster, Engineering Manager, about the EdgeBreaker® ease of use. “Our operators only needed a few hours to get used to the machine,” he sums it up.
O'Neal Manufacturing Services relies on the EdgeBreaker® 4000. The grinding drum outfitted with an abrasive belt removes stubborn burrs. Edge rounding blocks round the sheet metal parts on both sides in a single pass.
Success stories from the field.
Edge rounding tools:
Optimil Machinery Inc. edge rounds the parts to ensure that the powder coating of its wood processing equipment won’t chip off. Optimil Machinery Inc. outfits their EdgeBreaker® with edge rounding blocks.
Tools for flame-cut parts:
MISA Metal Fabricating is a full-service steel fabricator with a focus on thermal cutting heavy duty parts. Mike Talis, President of MISA Metal Fabricating, believes in ARKU’s automated deburring solution with the grinding drum and rounding blocks.
Flame-cut parts without slag formation:
O’Neal Manufacturing Services has growing demand in cleanly deburred and rounded flame-cut parts. This includes small-batch and large scale production with time constraints and high-quality requirements attached.
