Spiral-Design Deburring System

聽The SBB-12 is a spiral-bottom, round-bowl deburring unit with a full circle baffle that keeps parts in the media mass constantly for faster, more precise processing. The unit features a 12-cubic-foot, urethane-lined tub for parts protection. Other spiral-bottom models have tub capacities of 8 to 12 cubic feet and custom-designed models can have capacities as much as 100 cubic feet.

Tapping Holder Improves Thread Quality And Tap Life

聽The Mega Synchro tapping holder compensates for synchronization error during rigid tapping by reducing the thrust load to both the tap and workpiece, improving thread quality and tap life. This is facilitated through a mechanism that absorbs the pitch difference between the tap and synchronous spindle. Capable of supplying coolant through slits to the tap periphery, the holder is available in various lengths and spindle interfaces to suit any company鈥檚 needs.

Deburring System Features Return-To-Operator System

聽The company has expanded its Tri-Ten planetary head deburring system to include a return-to-operator (RTO) configuration. The series is designed to deburr both sides of a part in a single pass. Parts are loaded at one end and a magnetic conveyor passes them through an offset planetary deburring head where three fiber abrasive brushes deburr the upward-facing surface.
