What is Metal Tumbling & Deburring?
Deburring is the act of removing sharp burrs from large and small parts edges to smooth them down. Tumble Deburring is a procedure used for medium to large, less-fragile stampings as a pretreatment for the next operation. It generates a softened edge on metal components that is safe to handle and promotes the adhesion of plating or other coating systems on the edges. Our vibratory finishing and shot blasting operations benefit greatly from this approach of deburring and cleaning.
Types of Metal Tumbling and Deburring
Barrel Tumbling
It would be very time-consuming and laborious to remove metal burrs individually, by hand. That is why we use a barrel tumbler to deburr many small parts at once. Barrel tumbling is excellent at rounding off corners and removing any sharp burrs on parts that have heavy radiuses. Different speeds and amplitudes of vibration are used when deburring different parts, but in general: High speeds and large amplitudes can get the job done by rolling over burrs and mushroom sharp edges.
Vibratory Deburring
When using the process of vibratory deburring, it can be compared to that of a filing action. As upward, angular force is applied, metal parts and media are rubbed together creating a cutting action. A vibratory tumbler applies a force 5 to 10 times greater than that of a barrel tumbling machine. This results in a much shorter cycle time as the vibratory tumbler is able to cut the entire load with one pulse. Vibratory deburring can be used on fragile parts because there are no unequal forces acting on the parts.
