Sheet metal manufacturing is a fundamental guarantee for enhancing market competitiveness and reliability. However, sharp edges or burrs often occur throughout the manufacturing process, which can cause a series of problems in future production and processing applications

The issue of. Therefore, it seems particularly important to quickly and cleanly eliminate such defects, as there is a sheet metal deburring equipment available

To address this type of issue. Now we will gradually help you master the characteristics of sheet metal deburring equipment, explore your company's requirements, and help you select a good sheet metal deburring machine.

Burrs are inevitable

Firstly, it should be clarified that the production of sheet metal parts inevitably involves sharp edges, burrs, and residues, which are mainly derivatives of cutting processes such as laser cutting and flame cutting. These flaws also hinder the original

The originally smooth and fast processing process. Sharp burrs can also increase the risk of injury to personnel. That's also why we need to

The reason for deburring the cut metal sheets and parts. The use of a sheet metal deburring machine ensures that we can quickly obtain ideal machined parts.

There are various traditional methods for deburring. Firstly, the basic process is manual deburring, which is carried out by skilled workers using brushes or angle grinders to remove burrs. However, this method is very time-consuming and cannot guarantee consistency of results, and the processing effect largely depends on the skills and experience of the operators. Another option is to use a drum to

Burr machine, which is mainly suitable for smaller parts. After mixing and rolling the sheet metal parts to be processed (such as small flame cutting parts) with abrasive in a drum for a certain period of time, burrs can be removed, and the originally sharp edges will also be passivated. However, the disadvantage is that it is not suitable for large parts, and some workpieces cannot be chamfered. If you

If it is necessary to remove burrs from large quantities or large sheets, purchasing a fully automatic deburring machine would be a wise choice. Nowadays, there are various deburring equipment available in the market for different specific needs. When choosing the appropriate equipment for your company, we suggest that you consider the following three standards:

1. Number of sheet metal parts that require deburring

The more parts you need to process, the greater the value of using a deburring machine for processing. When processing in large quantities, it is particularly important to consider saving time and costs. These two factors play a crucial role in the company's profitability. Based on experience, the efficiency of a worker operating a modern sheet metal deburring machine for machining is improved

Less than four times the traditional manual processing of workers. If manual deburring takes 2000 hours per year, then the deburring machine * takes less than 500 hours, which is a standard for sheet metal processors to consider whether to invest in purchasing a deburring machine. In addition to reducing indirect labor costs, several other aspects also have a positive impact on investment calculations

Sound: Firstly, the deburring machine eliminates the risk of injury caused by manual tools, significantly improving occupational safety. Secondly, due to the centralized recovery of all grinding dust by the machine, the working environment becomes cleaner. If you add up the total cost of labor and the cost of abrasives, combined with the increase in production efficiency, you will be surprised to find a machine that

How low is the operating cost of the modern sheet metal deburring machine.

Enterprises that produce large quantities and diverse sheet metal and steel structural components require continuously high-precision and thornless (including formed) parts. These factors are crucial for downstream manufacturing and meeting customer needs. The solution to such high requirements is to invest in an automatic sheet metal deburring machine. In addition, modern deburring machines can also be used

Quickly adapt to changes in machining tasks by enabling or disabling a machining unit, or quickly turning off abrasives. When processing large quantities of workpieces, a mode that can handle a large number of parts in a short period of time should be used. This mode should be flexible enough to meet various edge requirements of workpieces.

2. Types of sheets that require deburring

The key issue is what kind of machining goal needs to be achieved when facing burrs of different thicknesses and sizes. When searching for a suitable deburring machine, you need to clarify the scope of the processed parts and the requirements for edge machining. The selected model should cover the main range of parts, provide processing quality, and bring high process reliability and low part cost

Advantages.

For example, the automatic deburring of flame cutting parts has been validated as a cost-effective method. Although there may be limitations in the size and machinability thickness of small parts, there is no reason to abandon this economical deburring solution if the main machined parts are all flame cut parts. On the contrary, what needs to be considered is the occurrence of "exceptions"

Frequency. This is a method of focusing on effective programs when dealing with major businesses.

The situation of laser cutting parts is likely to be completely different. Ideally, you should choose a solution that covers all ranges of laser cut parts, including thin and thick parts. However, there may also be questions: to what extent must the edges be rounded? How consistent is it? Is processing speed more important? When answering these questions, please ensure that

You have considered the customer's requirements and your sheet metal processing chain situation.

The sheet metal processing chain has always been an important factor affecting cost efficiency. Record all manufacturing and processing steps, their duration, and the cost of each workstation. Overall, consider the cost of sheet metal deburring machines. In this way, you can compare the purchased equipment with other processing steps and create a detailed cost-benefit calculation table, which is expensive

The key factors for a company's financial efficiency.

3. Do you need to remove burrs on one or both sides?

The third criterion for choosing a deburring machine is whether sheet metal parts need to be deburred on one or both sides? For enterprises that usually only require single-sided deburring, a single-sided deburring machine can meet their needs. But when zero

When the parts are no longer pre classified before being fed into the machine, the operator must check whether the parts are correctly positioned and make corresponding adjustments.

However, using a double-sided deburring machine does not require pre classification or flipping of parts.

However, the board usually needs to be deburred and rounded on both sides. In this case, the advantages of double-sided processing equipment are highlighted. Compared to equipment that only performs single-sided processing, double-sided processing can be less utilized

Complete the deburring and rounding process in half the time and half the manpower. This calculation result is self-evident: double-sided deburring

Usually, there is a return after spending 10-20 working hours per month.

Single sided is mainly used for small parts. As with the above situation, the main issue here is whether deburring small parts is the main machining task or just an additional requirement. Most devices with double-sided processing capabilities also

This also includes solutions for sporadic operations of small parts. In this case, the savings obtained by the user from double-sided processing are comparable

An additional model for handling small parts is worth purchasing.

Similar selection criteria also include delivery time, cost-effectiveness, type of technology used, and quantity and characteristics of the board. Enterprises familiar with their own processing requirements will definitely find a suitable sheet metal deburring machine for themselves.
