Deburring machines by gKteso: Perfect deburring
Our deburring machines at a glance
We offer two innovative models, tailored to different requirements and applications. Both machines impress with precision, flexibility, and efficiency. Here’s an overview of their functionalities, applications, and benefits:
Deburring System DS base – The entry-level model
The DS base from gKteso is the compact solution for automatic deburring, brushing, and inspecting of milled, cast, sheet metal and plastic components. Thanks to 5-axis technology and CAD/CAM programming, it processes even complex geometries precisely and reproducibly. Standardized modules allow for the flexible use of processes like threading, re-milling or marking. The modular system makes the deburring cell cost-efficient to expand and easy to integrate into existing production lines. Ideal for companies looking to economically start automated post-processing and improve their quality.

Deburring: More than a Necessity
Deburring is a processing step where unwanted burrs – i.e., sharp edges, protrusions, or material residues – are removed from workpieces. These burrs typically arise during manufacturing or processing operations such as cutting, milling, stamping, drilling, casting, or 3D printing.
This makes deburring an essential work step in almost any industry where metal or plastic parts are processed. In doing so, unwanted burrs are removed, to ensure the functionality, safety, and quality of workpieces. Its relevance ranges from the automotive industry (engine, brake, and transmission components) to mechanical engineering (gears, shafts, and bearings) and even electronics (connectors and housings) – everywhere that demands the highest precision.
Challenges and Impacts in Deburring
Different Material Requirements
Deburring poses specific challenges depending on the material. Hard materials like steel or titanium are significantly more difficult to process than softer materials. Plastic parts require special techniques to achieve perfect surfaces without damaging the material.
High Quality Requirements
In many industries, quality requirements are steadily increasing. Customers expect flawless and precisely manufactured workpieces. However, burrs can lead to fitting problems, malfunctions, or even damage, significantly affecting product quality.
Safety Risks from Burrs
Sharp edges pose a significant risk of injury not only to operating personnel but can also lead to safety deficiencies in sensitive applications such as aerospace or medical technology. This makes deburring an indispensable step in manufacturing.
Costs from Defective Products
Workpieces where burrs have been inadequately removed often need to be reworked or even scrapped as waste. This not only leads to increased production costs but also raises the risk of complaints and dissatisfied customers.
For these materials & parts, our machine is suitable
Our deburring machines are suitable for a wide range of materials and workpieces. They precisely and efficiently process metal parts such as milled parts, turned parts, stamped parts, and cast parts, as well as plastic components from injection molding or sheet metal bent parts. Particularly suitable for complex geometries and materials with high hardness like aluminum, steel, or titanium. Whether small precision parts, large structural components, or delicate surfaces – our machines ensure consistently high quality and adapt flexibly to the requirements of your production process.
Advantages of gKteso deburring machines
- Precision in every detail: Thanks to 5-axis processing and a repeat accuracy of 0.05 mm, our machines guarantee absolutely uniform results, even with complex geometries or hard-to-reach areas.
- Flexibility for different workpieces: Our machines can process different materials such as metal and plastic as well as workpiece sizes and shapes, from simple milled parts to complex cast parts.
- Automated quality control: Integrated systems such as laser scanners and measuring probes allow for parts to be checked immediately after deburring and defective parts to be automatically sorted out, significantly reducing waste.
- Time savings through parallel processes: Options like exchange tables and multiple workstations allow for parts to be prepared and processed simultaneously, significantly increasing throughput without sacrificing quality.
How the deburring machine works
The deburring machine removes burrs and sharp edges from workpieces to smooth their surface and improve quality.
The process begins with the workpiece being either manually loaded or automatically fed by a conveyor system. Inside the machine, special tools such as grinding wheels, brushes, cutters, or water jets are used to precisely remove excess material. Simultaneously, the machine adapts to the shape and material properties of the workpiece.
After deburring, many machines perform a fine processing stage where edges are rounded and the surface is smoothed to achieve a perfect result. Subsequently, the workpiece is cleaned to remove material residues and is then automatically or manually removed. This automated process is efficient, precise, and saves both time and money compared to manual labor.
