Burrs, which are a ridge or area of roughness, typically occur when the material used to create a part is cut or pieces of material are removed. Methods such as welding, molding, casting, and shearing cause sharp, bumpy edges which affect part performance. These imperfections can also impact the quality and longevity of a part, as well as influence its ability to hold up when subjected to stress, strain, or pressure.
Deburring is a truly valuable step in the manufacturing process. Deburring removes build-up of burrs and other imperfections from a material’s surface and is also a prerequisite for other processes – including powder coating and electroplating.
In addition to reducing product waste, deburring improves product quality, reduces friction, mitigates risk, increases the lifespan of a part, and enhances aesthetic appeal. Other benefits of deburring include:
Utilizing centrifugal barrel finishing (CBF) equipment, parts are placed in a barrel with tumbling media, water and surfactant. The barrel spins rapidly on a turret to create centrifugal force. The friction from the parts and media moving against one another in the opposite direction removes the burrs and creates a superior surface finish.
