Machine tool users concern with deburring grows
In spite of the widespread use of CNC machine tools, some users are not machining out loose burrs, at best they are being made smaller, but customers expect zero burrs.
Thermal deburring is consistent, reliable
The thermal deburring process is non selective - 100% of potential loose burrs are removed and computerised controlled conditions mean that every process is consistent.
They are far better than any in-house department because their aim is to please us," stated Garry MacDonald the cell leader at ITW, who co-ordinates the work.
Paddy House the managing director at Deburring Centre explained that thermal deburring is by nature an extremely fast process.
Batches are often done within 24h and it's not unknown for drivers to take the same batch back with them on the return trip.
The nature and flexibility of the process allows the company to work extremely closely with their clients.
"We find that we have become a crucial part of companies' lean, fast, just in time mentality.
As long as they work closely with us, we pull out all the stops when working for them.
It gives us enormous pleasure, that our normal service is so highly regarded by ITW," said House.
Thermal deburring is a little known process, but converts now build it in at the design stage.
Many drawings no longer state 'remove all burrs' but 'this component must be thermally deburred'.
The process guarantees the 100% removal of all burrs and potentially loose parts, especially impossible to reach internal burrs.
Difficult assembly and component failure attributed to burrs are a thing of the past.
Deburring has now become a positive process.
ITW have recognized the benefits of thermal deburring, and coupled with Deburring Centre's customer service attitude has made Deburring Centre a winning combination, for the fourth year running.
