JakHow do you perform automated deburring correctly?

 

 

 

Automated deburring is a process that allows unwanted edges and burrs to be removed from the surfaces of metal elements. It is a key stage in the production of machine and equipment parts, as it ensures their proper operation and extends their life. In this article, we will take a closer look at this process, discuss its advantages and the steps required to perform it correctly. 

Choosing the right cutting tools

Another important part of the automated deburring process is the selection of the appropriate cutting tools. Depending on the type of material being processed and the required precision, you can choose tools made of various materials, such as carbide, HSS or cermet. It is also important to select an appropriately shaped tool, which will enable effective removal of burrs and edges and will also suit the specificity of the processed elements.

Preparing elements for deburring

Before automated deburring can begin, the elements must be prepared properly. This includes, e.g., cleaning the surfaces from grease, oil or other contaminants that may affect deburring quality. Moreover, it is worth checking whether the elements are properly balanced and do not have any mechanical damage, which may affect the precision and uniformity of deburring.

Setting the parameters of the deburring machine

Then, it is necessary to set the relevant parameters of the deburring machine, such as the tool's rotational speed, cutting depth and working time. These parameters affect the quality of deburring and the useful life of cutting tools. It is also worth remembering to position the elements correctly on the machine's worktable and to use appropriate clamping systems to ensure stable and safe working conditions

Optimising the automated deburring process

To achieve the best possible results, it is worth optimising the automated deburring process. This includes analysing the machining parameters, such as the tool's rotational speed and cutting depth, and adjusting them if necessary. In addition, it is worth monitoring the wear of the cutting tools and replacing them regularly to maintain high deburring quality, which translates into better final results.
