The centrifugal plants ASM 18 and ASM 60 are suitable for small parts. Due to the higher machining intensity with deburring, they deburr 10-20 times faster than vibratory finishing machines. The centrifugal plant can be planned as a single device up to a fully automatic plant.

The grinding bodies and workpieces are accelerated through the rotational movement of the plate washer. Due to the centrifugal force, the workpieces are pressed outward and then transported up on the inner side of the system. Gravity causes these to fall back into the center of the plate washer to be accelerated again.

A noise protection cover reduces the noise and makes it possible to work in a workshop. The speed regulation ensures versatile processing options. The programmable timer rounds off the autonomous work process. The machine can be expanded with an optional paper filter and separator.

We recommend a paper filter or a fully-automatic water treatment plant for simple and comfortable water treatment. The process water is pumped in the tub and cleaned through a filter fleece or centrifugal force upon return. The separator simplifies the separation of grinding bodies and workpieces. Sorting sieves are available in many sizes.

The grinding bodies are poured back into the tub after separation.The finishing process: Barrel finishing doe snot just mean a procedure for surface processing workpieces, but rather offers a wide range of possibilities for changing and refining surfaces. Optimal processing results are achieved through the right combination of machine as well as chips and compounds. Whether rough grinding or to achieve polished surfaces, Assfalg always offers the optimal process media.

The deburring process and surface treatment can be set according to the customer’s request depending on the shape, quality and dimensions of the ground bodies. The form of the chip must be coordinated to fit the workpiece geometry. All contours should be achieved and processed and deadlocks must be simultaneously avoided. The grinding behaviour is influenced by the shape of the chip as well - round shapes are less aggressive than pointy shapes.

The grinding performance and surface appearance are determined by the quality of the chip. The heavier or larger the chip, the rougher the surface structure and more intense the grinding performance.

The main task of the compound is to keep surfaces from workpieces and chips clean during the handling process. The selection of the compound is carried out depending on the place of use, the material to be processed and desired processing target and the properties of the compound.

Vibratory grinding (also known as trowalising) is an industrial process for surface treatment of workpieces. In this process, workpieces are moved together with abrasive media (so-called chips) and often also a special compound in a container. The relative movement between the workpieces and the abrasive media removes material and smoothes the surfaces.

  1. Deburring: Removing sharp edges and burrs that occur during manufacturing.
  2. Polishing: Achieving a smooth, shiny surface.
  3. Edge Rounding: Rounding off sharp edges to improve the feel or functionality.
  4. Cleaning: Removing impurities, oxide layers or scale.
  5. Compacting: Improving the material surface through cold hardening.
  • Metalworking: Workpieces made of steel, aluminium or brass.
  • Plastics processing: Smoothing and polishing of plastic parts.
  • Medical technology and jewellery industry: Processing of small, sensitive parts.
  1. Trough Vibrators: Open containers, suitable for larger parts.
  2. Circular Vibrators: Common choice for medium to small workpieces.
  3. Centrifugal Systems: Particularly efficient for intensive machining.

Vibratory grinding is a cost-effective, versatile method for improving the surface quality and functionality of components.
 

Vibratory finishing is suitable for numerous materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, plastic and even ceramics.

Choosing the right vibratory finishing machine depends on various factors:

  • Size and shape of the workpieces
  • Number of parts to be processed per day/week
  • Processing objective (e.g. deburring, smoothing, polishing)
  • Cleaning requirements and surface values
  • Need for drying or cleaning the parts

Choosing the right process media depends on various factors:

  • Material of the workpiece: Different materials such as steel, aluminium or plastic require specific abrasive media and compounds.
  • Processing objective: Do you want to deburr, smooth or polish?
  • Degree of soiling: Special cleaning compounds are useful for oily or heavily soiled parts.
  • Surface requirements: A precisely matched process agent is required for certain roughness values or high-gloss polishing.

Yes, a water treatment system makes sense when using compounds. It extends the service life of the abrasive media, reduces operating costs and fulfils environmental requirements.

In industry, deburring includes methods for removing edges, splinters and fraying on workpieces, which are known as burrs. Burrs occur during various production techniques such as stamping, milling or turning and appear as unwanted changes in shape on the component, often in the form of sharp edges.

Deburring is necessary to ensure the functionality and quality of workpieces. Burrs can make further processing more difficult and lead to parts that no longer fit together or reduce the efficiency of the end product. In addition, burrs on the edges can cause considerable risk of injury during machining and handling.

There are various methods such as manual deburring, mechanical deburring, thermal deburring, electrochemical deburring and grinding. The choice of method depends on the requirements and the nature of the workpiece.

The selection of the right deburring machine depends on the type of material, workpiece size, burr hardness and the desired surface quality. Our experts will be happy to help you select the most suitable machine.
