One medical device manufacturer faced two major challenges when designing a citric passivation system. First, they had to perform a water-break test on the parts after cleaning them. Then, they had to proceed with passivation. They couldn't use an automated passivation system. Data tracking was required for quality control purposes. Semi-Automated [...]
A centrifugal barrel finishing system can also increase consistency in quality. Handwork can only achieve a minimum of 80% acceptance rate. A centrifugal barrel finisher allows you to attain much higher acceptance rates. Furthermore, the surface finish from centrifugal parts tumbling is uniform in all directions unlike hand polishing.
Ask us how we can solve any surface finishing issues. You would like to know more about our products or services? Do you need to speak to an expert?
Tumbler media is the abrasive used in mass finishing that grinds away the burrs and cutting lines on a metal surface. Tumbler media comes in many shapes and forms.
Top/bottom machine processes top and bottom in one pass, with 100% uniformity. Every square inch of any part is processed the same way over 100% of the machine's width.
We have clients who trust our metalworking equipment in many different industries.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is the most trusted dry metal machine manufacturer. Our customers can choose from a wide range of dry-metal machines to improve the safety, efficiency, and dependability of their metalworking operations.
A centrifugal barrel parts tumbler eliminates 95% of the manual work involved in polishing or deburring parts by hand. The reduction in hand sorting is a significant improvement on production and return of investment. A centrifugal barrel finisher eliminates the need to use a microscope to find defects and remove any burrs. This reduces waste and costs.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. will go to great lengths for you to ensure that you have the right parts to keep your machines running smoothly.
In ascending order of smoothness, there are three types of work an industrial tumbler machine does.
No matter how many steps you have, each step must be done separately. You cannot do polishing and deburring at the same time. Deburr first and then polish. If more than one step must be done, each step should be completed in ascending order of smoothness. Deburring first, then polishing last.
At Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc., we offer top-quality abrasive finishing solutions to meet our customers’ individual application and material requirements. Our machines complete various tasks depending on the application, including deburring, slag grinding, edge rounding, calibrating, and finishing. Among other metal finishing machines, we offer dry metal machines, which function in many applications and provide numerous benefits.
In addition, using a centrifugal barrel finishing machine increases consistency in quality. Handwork at best yields an 80% acceptance rate, but with a centrifugal barrel finisher you can achieve much higher rates of acceptance. In addition, the surface finish after centrifugal part tumbling is isotropic and consistent in all directions, unlike hand polishing.
Our dry-metal machines are available to industries in metalworking, woodworking and plastics. It allows for more uniform and effective finishing processes. To help our customers achieve the best finish, we distribute our products across North America.
Finishes are applied at the end of a construction or manufacturing process to form the final surface of an element. They can protect the element they finish from impact, water, frost, corrosion, abrasion, and other elements, as well as be decorative.
