ARKU EdgeBreaker 6000 deburring machine’s settings adjusted automatically with software

ARKU Maschinenbau GmbH has introduced the EdgeBreaker 6000 deburring machine, designed to meet the requirements of laser job shops. Its vacuum conveyor belt and rotary brushes enable extremely uniform edge rounding, the company reports. Other processing modules include a grinding belt for deburring and a finishing unit for surface finishing.

ARKU Wizard software can be added to the machine to adjust processing settings automatically during deburring. The operator enters a few parameters—burr size, material type and thickness, desired edge rounding after deburring—and further information comes from the automatic wear measurement of the rotary brushes. The software then calculates the appropriate tools and the correct machine settings.

Processing speed is optimized and the material removal during edge rounding is reduced to the necessary level. This helps decrease processing time and tool wear.
