Larger chamber for thermal deburring
Thermal deburring specialist, Deburring Centre, is able to machine larger workpieces thanks to an increased chamber size.
Responding to demand, Deburring Centre, the thermal deburring specialists have now the ability to process even larger components 'The 'size' issue has always limited what we can do.' says Managing Director Paddy House

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.
'To thermally deburr items we need to place them inside a sealed chamber to contain the thermal blast which passes across the burrs and oxidizes them and any contaminants whether external and internal.
Now whilst the majority of the components that we process easily fitted into our old chamber we increasingly had to turn away components that were ideal for the process save that they were slightly too big.' The length of the chamber has only been increased by 10%, but that extra 30mm to 330mm makes all the difference.
Already, new opportunities are presenting themselves.
So when it comes to thermal deburring, size obviously does matter.
They have three thermal deburring machines, the largest chamber is now 330mm x 250mm diameter.
Images show typical burrs that are guaranteed to be 100% removed with thermal deburring - where ever they are within the component - as the gas will completely surround and oxidise them.
