When selecting a metalworking machine to perform finishing, deburring, and other processes, you must choose between wet or dry metal machines. These complete the same process using different methods, with wet working machines dispersing a coolant mix onto the surface of processed parts, while dry machines function without this mix.
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.
Regardless of the number of steps in your process, each step must be performed separately. In other words, you cannot perform deburring and polishing simultaneously. Instead, deburr first, then polish. If more than one step is required, the steps must be performed in ascending order of smoothness, with deburring first and polishing last.
Do you prefer a matte, or satin finish? To make your centrifugal barrels shine, add aluminum oxide blasting medium.

The Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. portfolio consists mainly of a rotary vibrator, but also fully automated surf finishing machines with robotic equipment. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s main strengths lie in the development and implementation of customized systems and processes that are tailored to each customer. Metal, plastic, clay, or wood...deburring, greasing, discaling, rust reduction or polishing: There is no limit to the possibilities with Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass completing machines.
Flat parts make you feel lost? Flat parts, like washers, pose one of the most difficult challenges in centrifugal-barrel finishing. Parts tend to stick to the barrel and wick together so that only one side can be deburred. To solve this problem, you can add glass bead blasting medium to the centrifugal drum finishing process. The beads protect the parts from sticking to each another and to the barrel. Glass beads can be used for parts that have a tendency to cup together.

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 [...]
These machines can remove large burrs and blend lines from machining. They can also be used for polishing or burnishing. Use them with organic media such as corn-cob or ceramic to achieve almost any finish.
Finishing operations, also known as finishing manufacturing, occur at the end of the manufacturing process, after the part has been formed and secondary processes have been completed.
