Mass Finishing

While at first glance vibratory deburring may seem somewhat a niche market it should be noted that every an enormous range of mass produced metal, plastic and even (in some cases) wooden components require deburring.
The UK has been the home of vibratory deburring. These vibratory deburring machines are also a standard solution for the manufacturing community internationally.

It is now common-place to find a vibratory deburring machines adjacent to laser cut, waterjet cut and CNC milling operations.

The benefits of being able to take stillages of sharp edged laser cut or waterjet cut, CNC milled components and make them clean, bright and deburred, at a consumable cost in the region of £1 / £2 per stillage, are numerous.
Vibratory deburring machines rarely breakdown and the uniformed results are easy to duplicate time after time.
With the latest machines coming complete with sealed for life bearings and the fabrications being stressed relieved these machines require nominal levels of maintenance.

Along with the traditional deburring of metal pressings and casting applications the latest consumables from the PDJ Vibro range of can now improve surfaces from 0.2 ra to 0.03 ra.

Given the above it is clear to see why the medical, motor sport and aerospace industries have depended on vibratory deburring for decades.

MACH is the UKs premier manufacturing technologies event, encompassing metalcutting and metalforming machine tools along with all ancillary and related products and services.

We will be in Hall 4 on stand 4310, so why not come along and see some of our industry leading machines and discuss your deburring, polishing or surface finishing requirements. Whether you are looking for an in-house process or subcontract, PDJ Vibro can offer you a cost-effective and time efficient solution.

Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important for vibratory, barrel and centrifugal finishing.

We have in development a new low cost system to filter solids and water bourne trace elements from vibro, barrel and centrifugal effluent.

The reason for this new system is that traditional thinking has offered either overband filters or centrifugal waste systems which are:

1. Often more expensive to purchase that the finishing equipment it serves.
2. Given that they have moving parts spares are expensive.
3. Fabrications tend to be manufactured from mild steel which corrode.
4. The systems are messy, involve operator intervention and prone to breakdown.
5. Water bourne particles are not removed.

The new systems can remove particles to 1 micron, process up to 400 litres per minute and start from £2675 + VAT.
