"New
literature that details the precision deburring capabilities and overall
features of a new model in ALMCO's line of unique spindle finishing machines is
now available," said a company spokespersons.
The Model 2SF-48A deburrs individual parts at a speed of up to 480 pieces per hour with the use of double spindles that are lowered into a tub filled with finishing abrasive. The abrasive slurry is spun by centrifugal force into a "form-fitting grinding wheel," according to the manufacturer, that assures uniform deburring of all part surfaces.
The new literature points to the machine's 48-inch diameter tub that handles pieces up to l6 inches in diameter and delivers exceptionally close tolerance radiuses. An equipment operator can load and unload large or clusters of small parts on the spindle-mounted chucks, or robots can be employed to achieve 100 percent automation, the company said.
"As the new literature notes, spindle finishing, a concept offered only by ALMCO KleenTec, offers numerous benefits not possible with conventional mechanical finishing equipment," said the spokesperson. "Highest precision of parts is attained, and many can be finished in no other way when extreme accuracy is required. Process repeatability is assured through elementary adjustments of the equipment and other simple procedures.
"The 2SF-48A is suited to deburring complex parts such as gears, bearing cages, splined shafts, pump rotors and jet compressor discs and blades. The machine requires minimal floor space of approximately 5 by 8 feet."
