Machine deburrs powdered-metal parts in the green state

Abtex Corp. has introduced a machine to deburr powdered-metal parts when they’re still in the green state before sintering. Green parts are much less expensive to deburr than the same parts after they’re hardened in the sintering process, states the company.

The unit deburrs both sides of any part in a single pass. The machine/brush interface is designed to remove only the burrs, preserving each part’s geometry. Brushes can be customized for the specific deburring task.

The chassis can be raised and lowered by up to 10 in. to interface with existing equipment. It is built on casters for movement around the manufacturing floor.
