The Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. portfolio ranges in mass finishing machines from a basic rotary vibrator, to fully automated surf finishers equipped with robotic equipment. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is a leader in the design and implementation custom-designed systems and processes. Metal, wood, ceramic, and metal...deburring, demulsing, descaling, rust elimination or polishing: The possibilities for Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s mass finishing machines are endless.

Industry workhorses, centrifugal barrel finish systems can be used to finish many metals, such as brass and aluminum, stainless, chrome, and steel. Plastic parts are not deburred by this type system, as plastic is too malleable for this process.

Our in-house laboratory allows us to design custom solutions for customers, which allows us to provide a unique, creative solution.

Two major problems faced by a medical device manufacturer when developing a citric-passivation solution was the manufacturing process. After cleaning the parts, the water-break test had to be performed before passivating. The manufacturer could not use fully automated passivation. For quality control purposes, the system needed data tracking. Semi-Automated [...]

Air between sheets is created by the AJ 700 air-feed paper jogger. It reduces jogging and helps eliminate static. This allows press sheets and digital copies of the paper to be dried quickly after printing. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. drills boast a 2-inch depth drilling capacity and movable, bearing-mounted tables for precise paper positioning. 5 pre-set patterns can be selected from the 25 or 55 tabletop models.

It is vital to use the correct tumble media for centrifugal finishing. The wrong media, especially with the wrong geometry, can significantly increase the time it takes to complete a cycle. The use of cones or rings for tumbling media can reduce processing time by a significant amount.

Systems

Employers can benefit from a deburring system to reduce the risk of repetitive movement injury like carpal tunnel syndrome. The centrifugal machine is much more ergonomic than handwork. The machine is faster than manual barrel loading, but operators still need to manually load the barrels.

To create sliding friction in barrel tumblers, rotary motion is combined with abrasive tumble media. The idea is simple: put rocks in a barrel, then roll it down a hill. Deburring and polishing occur when the parts slide against other parts.

The use of a centrifugal barrel-finishing machine improves consistency and quality. Handwork yields only a 20% acceptance rate. But, with a centrifugal finisher, you can get much higher acceptance rates. Aside from being consistent in all directions, the surface finish following centrifugal part tumble is also isotropic. This is a big advantage over hand polishing.

Each Triumph trimmer has either movable or stationary transparent Lexan safety bars. All models have been tested in independent safety labs to ensure they comply with all international safety regulations. All Triumph trimmers have been certified by a quality management program that is based on the DIN EN ISO 9001 2008 standards.

A centrifugal barrel-tumbling machine allows the operator to adjust the speed of tumbling. This allows for finer finishing or polishing at lower speeds while aggressive deburring or edge smoothing can be done at higher speeds.
