Deburring and polishing service try-out offered
Precision part makers seeking subcontract deburring and polishing of machined and pressed parts are encouraged to bring along samples to test at Northwest Manufacturing 2002 exhibition.
Finishing Techniques has a 20 year history and is well known to precision part manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, tooling and engineering for the supply of Otec deburring machinery.
However, the company has recognised that manufacturers sometimes need a temporary solution to finishing problems.
Machine breakdown, a sudden but temporary surge in orders, prototyping/testing or simply waiting for the arrival of new equipment are all reasons why manufacturers appreciate the availability of a quality subcontract service.
ITT Industries made a 57% saving by using Finishing Techniques' service.
The part in question was made from aluminium and manufactured on a CNC machine.
It was then hand deburred before being gold plated.
Danny Elliott, process engineer with ITT explained, "On a batch of 500 parts, Finishing Techniques could deburr each part for 50p whereas previously it would cost us GBP 1.38.
We also saved time and were able to achieve a constantly high quality over hand finishing." Quality is a key concern for all precision part manufacturers so Finishing Techniques has equipped their lab with high powered digital video microscopes from Sony.
These enable the company to visually record and report to customers the achieved surface finish improvement to components.
Finishing Techniques even provides a free sample processing service so manufacturers can see the improvements to finishing that can be achieved.
