Deburring milled parts for ready-to-assemble edges
Burrs on milled parts block fits, degrade surfaces, and increase scrap. Our solutions deburr milled parts automatically directly in-line. This saves rework, reduces cost per part, and ensures consistent quality in every series.
Why is deburring milled parts important?
Milling creates burrs on exit edges, holes, and pockets. These projections interfere with fits, cause injuries, and increase scrap. In subsequent processes, burrs additionally strain tools and extend setup times. Typical problems caused by burrs on milled parts:
-
Clamping of assemblies during assembly
- Cut injuries on sharp edges
-
Time expenditure due to manual rework
-
Increased rejection rate for sensitive components
- Damage to tools in subsequent processes
A defined deburring process is necessary to allow milled parts to proceed without rework directly to the next manufacturing step.
What methods are available for deburring milled parts?
Milled parts often have burrs on fits, pockets, or holes. These areas require processes that can flexibly adapt to different geometries. In practice, these methods are primarily used:
Brushing
Brushing smooths edges after machining and removes light burrs. It is especially suitable for exterior contours and open surfaces.
Grinding
Grinding wheels and belts remove stronger burrs on planar surfaces. The process simultaneously improves the surface quality.
Milling
Mills also reach deep pockets, grooves, or hard-to-access areas. This allows complex milled parts to be targetedly machined.
Countersinking
A deburring countersink creates clean bore edges and improves the fit accuracy of parts. It prevents breakage or sealing issues.
Thermal Deburring (TEM)
In milled parts with many internal contours, the procedure burns off burrs on all edges simultaneously. Even hidden areas can be cleanly processed in one step.
Electrochemical Deburring (ECM)
This method is suitable for sensitive milled parts with tight tolerances. It removes burrs gently without mechanical stress, thereby maintaining dimensional stability and surface quality.
Vibratory Finishing (Tumbling)
Through movement with grinding media, uniform edge profiles and improved surfaces can be achieved. At the same time, the method increases the components’ resistance to wear.
Blasting
Blasting is suitable for large milled parts and creates uniform surfaces. Depending on the blasting media, decorative effects or adhesive structures are produced.
Ultimately, the combination of geometry, material, and quality requirements determines the appropriate method. In serial production, many companies rely on systems that combine several methods in one process to ensure reproducible results.
Automated deburring of milled parts with gKteso
Our systems capture the geometry, automatically select the appropriate tool, and follow defined processing paths. This ensures consistent quality, even with changing components and high quantities.
Technical features of our systems
- Consistent edge profiles: The processing creates uniform radii on all edges and delivers reproducible results for every part.
- Automated deburring of complex geometries: Even bore exits, cross drilling, and hard-to-reach internal areas can be processed safely.
- Direct line integration: A change table or rotary table integrates the machine seamlessly. Wet or dry processing is possible depending on the component.
- Defined processing paths: All steps run on predetermined paths, protecting tools and enabling stable processes.
Our systems process steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals.
What are the advantages of machine deburring?
Ready-to-assemble edges
Parts come assembly-ready from the machine. You save manual deburring, shorten processes, and reduce personnel deployment.
Seamless quality assurance
Scanners capture each part and record measurement results. This provides you with seamless documentation for approvals, quality control, and customer acceptances.
More parts per shift
Parallel steps like loading, processing, and removing significantly reduce downtimes. This noticeably increases output without needing additional machines.
Lower tool costs
Clean edges relieve brushes, mills, and subsequent processing steps. This significantly extends service lives and lowers costs per part throughout the entire production process.
Overview of our deburring machines
We analyze your parts with you and create a cost-free concept. Send us drawings, photos, or sample parts: we develop several automation variants and choose the right solution for your production.
DS Base
The DS Base is ideal for small to medium series with changing geometries. It handles deburring, brushing, rounding, and optionally threading in one process. With up to 16 stations and a workspace of 500 x 500 x 300 mm, it processes versatile parts. Its compact design allows direct integration into existing lines. Suppliers benefit from short setup times and consistent edge quality.
DS Integrated
The DS Integrated is suitable for serial producers with high quantities and complex geometries. It combines deburring, brushing, measuring, marking, back processing, and optionally sandblasting in a continuous process. A rotary or change table significantly shortens the idle times. With up to 16 stations and a workspace of 500 x 500 x 300 millimeters, the system also processes challenging parts. It is equipable for wet or dry processing and can be seamlessly integrated into existing lines via automatic feeds.
