Introduction to Vibratory Deburring

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.
