Use of the correct tumbling media is crucial for centrifugal barrel finishing. The wrong media, particularly the wrong geometry, can double the cycle time for parts. Using cones or cylinders for tumbling media when not appropriate can slow down processing time significantly.
We have clients that rely on our metalworking machinery in many industries including:
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. will provide you with a complete, worry-free package. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass production equipment and media is made in house. Our own trained service personnel, application technicians, spare parts, recycling of waste water and reline services make Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass manufacturing equipment a robust and sustainable option for customers.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. tabletop folders offer the perfect blend of speed, precision, & ease of usage, making them ideal for small offices, schools, as well as corporate environments. Automatic programmable folders store fold programs and can be set to run at the touch-of-a-button.
Use of a deburring machine also contributes to worker safety, since it reduces the risk of repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome associated with deburring and polishing by hand. The centrifugal barrel machine is far more ergonomic than handwork. While centrifugal tumblers do require operators to load each barrel manually, the high speed of the machine makes up for this labor intensity.
For centrifugal barrel finish, it is essential to use the correct tumbling medium. The wrong media, and especially the wrong geometry can increase the cycle time of parts. Processing time can be significantly slowed down by using cones and cylinders for tumbling media if they aren't needed.
The correct tumbling media is critical for centrifugal bar finishing. The wrong media and particularly the wrong geometries can make it twice as long to finish a part. When appropriate, cones or cylindricals are used for tumbling media. This can dramatically slow down processing times.
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.
Top/bottom machines process both top and base surfaces in one pass. Every inch of every piece is processed exactly the exact same across 100% of the machine width.
The FC 10 Automatic Collator is one of the most versatile collators on the market today. Reliable and easy to use, it interfaces with a variety of bookletmakers including the Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. Sprints and SF2 series.
Mass finishing can be done either dry or wet with a centrifugal bar tumbler. Wet processes employ a liquid cleaner, lubricant, or abrasive while dry processes don't. Each barrel holds approximately 50-80% capacity.
Our in-house lab allows us to create custom solutions for our customers.
A centrifugal barrel tumbler can perform mass finishing either wet- or dry. Wet processes use liquid lubricants, cleaners, or abrasives, while dry processes do not. Each barrel is filled to 50-80% capacity with the following elements.
The 2000-Series machines were designed with higher production requirements in mind. They are designed to handle such applications as deburring, slag grinding, calibrating/dimensioning, edge radiusing, paint/surface preparation, finishing/polishing or a combination of these applications.
Finishing processes can be used to improve the following characteristics: appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs and other surface flaws, and control surface friction.
Surface Finishing Machine has a metallic bowl that holds media, water, and finishing compounds.
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.
