Flawless perforated parts for the medical industry.

Deburring with the EdgeBreaker® 6000. A success story MBengineering GmbH & Co. KG, Germany.

 

From tricky problems to special solutions

An engineering office became a consulting firm, and the consulting firm became a production company: In 2000, Manfred Butsch founded MBengineering for this purpose. In the meantime, there are 45 employees in Dürbheim who manufacture air and process engineering systems, special machines as well as products for the medical industry and provide technical services.

 

„Customers expect us to provide complete edge rounding, not just on the outer contours.“

- Manfred Butsch, Founder and Managing Director MBengineering

The medical industry requires perfect parts

The medical industry however, has some special requirements. For example, the surfaces must also be easy to clean and disinfect. For production, this means: no scratches, no unevenness in which dirt and bacteria can settle, nothing but flawless surfaces.

In the case of the screen baskets, this became a problem. An older belt grinder did not provide sufficient edge rounding for the perforated parts. Manual reworking, in turn, is too time-consuming in the long run.

Machine perfectly deburrs even inner contours of perforated parts

In order to sufficiently process the perforated parts, MBengineering opted for the EdgeBreaker® 6000 from ARKU. The machine deburrs via a grinding belt. The edge rounding is accomplished by rotary brushes. This ensures very uniform edge rounding because it means that the brushes always make contact with the part from all directions. The size of the products makes them an ideal fit for the EdgeBreaker® 6000: "The screen baskets are about 500 millimeters long and 300 to 400 millimeters wide. With a 1 millimeter thickness, this results in a part weight of just under 1 kilogram," explains Martin Zepf, project engineer at MBengineering and member of the management board.

The advantages for MBengineering at a glance:

  • Perfect parts for medical technology
  • Significantly improved quality with the EdgeBreaker® 6000 compared to manual deburring
  • Relief of the employees

EdgeBreaker® 6000

Specially designed for punched and laser cut parts: After removal of the burr by the grinding belt, the EdgeBreaker® 6000 rounds all inner and outer contours. In the last processing step, the machine can apply a specific material finish. For optimal deburring, edge rounding and finishing results in just a single pass.
