Semi-manual Deburring Process

Semi-manual deburring is also known to be a semiautomatic deburring system. This include a setup with a 360 brush-deburring motion often found in manual deburring system. When the you start to load the extrusions, two palm buttons are pushed. The action leads to a pneumatic clamping mechanism. In comparison, the setup and operations of a manual deburring system only needs minimal training. Its adjustments for extrusion dimensions well as brush penetrations are easy to make. In such cases, the operator holds the extrusion to the table using the clamping arm, and starts to move the table in a steady motion.

Like any deburring system, semi-manual deburring aims higher productivity than the conventional hand or manual deburring in terms of cycle times. Quality is also another factor. The depth of brush penetration with such deburring is more precise. Such action is maintained during the entire cycle with minimal effects in the lateral parts.

The deburring system is considered safe. The wheel's multi-directional wiping motion eliminates the need for turning the part of material. The part is usually held or clamped in the deburring cycle. In the system, the wheel or the disc brushing tool moves on a vertical plane. Always remember that extrusions should be presented to the wheel in a controlled and steady manner while facing the brush.

Some semiautomatic deburring systems require wheels. Such discs are made of abrasive materials similar to pot scrubbers. They also come in different sizes. Typically, there are specific kind of wheels use for certain parts or material. For instance, there are wheels for aluminum parts that often provide to a satin surface finish.

Semi-manual or semiautomatic deburring are great for small-scale garage and hobbyists. They are not that expensive like most deburring machines use in most companies.
