Deburring of sheets for secure components
Burrs on sheet metal parts affect fit accuracy, increase the risk of injury, and disrupt the appearance. During laser cutting, punching, or forming, sharp edges almost always occur. Therefore, if you want to deburr sheets, you need a process that operates precisely, safely, and reliably. Our machines take on exactly this task and deliver burr-free results in reproducible quality.
Why burrs on sheets are problematic
Burrs are produced by mechanical or thermal separation processes such as laser cutting, punching, or shearing. They are often sharp-edged, irregular, and interfere with further processing. The consequences:
- Inaccuracy of fit: Burrs prevent the precise assembly of components.
- Safety risks: Sharp edges endanger employees and end users.
- Assembly problems: Burrs hinder automation and lead to assembly errors.
- Variable quality: Uneven edges deteriorate the appearance.
A precise deburring process is therefore not only a quality feature but a prerequisite for reliable, safe products.
Deburring sheets with a machine: precise, consistent, and efficient
While manual deburring is time-consuming and error-prone, machine deburring provides consistently clean results. Our systems automatically capture the workpiece, select the appropriate tool, and process sheet metal parts precisely along their contour. The advantages:
- Repeatable quality: Consistent results even in high quantities
- Safe processing: Reduction of cut injuries due to clean edges
- Less scrap: No material damage from untidy reworking
- Short cycle times: Integration into automated lines possible
Our machines can deburr not only outer edges but also boreholes, interior cutouts, and hard-to-reach areas. They are suitable for steel, stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized sheets.
Our deburring machines at a glance
We offer two modular systems that can be optimally adapted to different production requirements. Both machines impress with process reliability, flexibility, and ease of use.
Deburring System DS base – Entry into automated reworking
The DS base model is particularly suitable for companies that want to easily enter into automated deburring . The machine reliably processes components such as milled parts, die-cast parts, or plastic components. Thanks to its compact design and modular structure, the system can be easily integrated into existing production environments.
The 5-axis processing with a repeat accuracy of 0.05 millimeters enables precise reworking such as thread cutting, brushing, rounding, and adjusting fits. The machine is ideal for changing series sizes, short setup times, and medium requirements, as often occur in mechanical engineering or the supply industry.
Deburring System DS integrated – For maximum automation and performance
The DS integrated is a sophisticated deburring cell for demanding applications and high volumes. It offers up to 16 work stations and can be equipped with a changeover or rotary table. This machine meets the highest demands for throughput, precision, and process reliability.
Typical applications are complex aluminum cast parts in the automotive industry, components in aerospace, or parts for the medical technology sector. The system processes even difficult geometries fully automatically and combines several work steps in one pass, including deburring, back processing, sandblasting, and marking.
How deburring sheets with our machines works
In sheet metal deburring, sharp edges and protruding material residues are reliably removed. The goal is a clean, smooth edge that can be further processed without rework. The process is fully automated and can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines.
First, the sheet is either manually inserted or automatically positioned via a feed system. Sensors register the geometry of the workpiece, after which the machine selects the appropriate tool. Depending on the material and application, grinding wheels, brushes, milling cutters, or water jet technology are used. The tools precisely follow the contours and process all relevant edges, even on interior cutouts or hard-to-reach areas.
After burr removal, a fine finishing usually follows. During this process, the edges are rounded, and the surface is smoothed to achieve a high-quality finish. The workpiece is then cleaned and either automatically or manually removed. This continuous process ensures reproducible quality and saves significantly on time and costs compared to manual processing.
Advantages of deburring sheets with machines from gKteso
Highest precision for every contour
Thanks to 5-axis processing and a repeat accuracy of 0.05 millimeters, even challenging geometries are processed with consistently high quality. Even tight radii and complex cutting lines can be safely deburred.
Versatile applications
The machines process different sheets made of steel, stainless steel, or aluminum just as reliably as composite materials or coated surfaces. Whether large form parts or fine cuts – the systems adapt flexibly.
Integrated quality control
Laser scanners and gauge sensors check each sheet directly after processing. Faulty parts are automatically detected and sorted out, reducing scrap and increasing your production security.
Efficient through parallel processes
Options such as changeover tables or multiple machining stations allow for sheet metal to be fed, deburred, and removed simultaneously. This increases throughput without compromising machining quality.
