Turbo Abrasive Blasting
Turbo-abrasive machining is a loose abrasive machining method that can deburr and produce edge contour effects very rapidly. The method is especially useful for the final machining and finishing of larger complex rotating components. These types of parts often are not good candidates for other mass media finishing techniques and until now have required very tedious and expensive manual deburring. The Turbo-Abrasive Machining process can automate much of this work, not only reducing labor and costs, but improving the uniformity and consistency of edge and surface effects in a way not possible to duplicate with single-point-of-contact machining methods. This uniformity and the isotropic nature of the edges and surfaces that are developed can also markedly improve the surface integrity and fatigue resistance of many types of critical components.
Sample processing can be arranged for your parts. Additional detailed information about this new technology will also be presented at the 7th International Deburring and Surface Conditioning Conference at the University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. USA June 7-9, 2004, and at the Society of Manufacturing Engineer’s IMTS 2004 Manufacturing Conference at Chicago, IL, Sept. 8-10, 2004.
