Deburring tool tolerates wide component variation

CNC-Flexicut 250 is a high speed deburring tool that automates the removal of burrs generated during machining processes. Fixed tooling cannot cope with large variations in burrs. These unpredictable departures from the expected contours introduce error into the tool’s position relative to the part, resulting in unacceptable variations in chamfer dimensions. By contrast, CNC-Flexicut complies with the edge it is following, compensating for edge deviations of up to 8 mm. It has a unique gimbal suspension allowing it to deburr around corners without changing tool orientation. A throttle valve can set pressure against the part to allow a variation of chamfer width and materials. The spindle of the machine is stationary during the deburring process while the tool is driven by an air spindle rotating at 35,000 rpm, allowing high feed rates of up to 15m/min. The air is fed through the hollow shaft usually used to feed coolant to the cutters. The tool is available in a range of standard machine tool mounts including SK, Weldon, etc.
