Process

Method
Rotating spindles in a tub of rotating media
Tooling
Spring-hold, air-release part holding
Tub
Variable speed with perforated drain section
Integration
Robot-ready load and process positions

Features

Built In

  • One or more rotating spindles drive parts through a tub of rotating media for a fast, consistent, repeatable finish.
  • Spring-hold, air-release tooling locks the part to the spindle, and repeatable load positions make the machine easy to drop into a robotic line.
  • A variable speed tub with a perforated drain section pulls liquid sludge out of the media as it runs.
  • Options add spindle orientation and flush stations, a rotary actuator for easier load and unload, hydraulically actuated tooling, and a safety enclosure.

Applications

Where It Works

  • Small to medium precision parts
  • Shafts, gears, and transmission components
  • Aerospace, medical, and firearm parts
  • Bearing races and automotive parts
