11-Axis deburring and chamfering machine
—
“James Engineering revealed an automated alternative to traditional deburring and chamfering methods with its patented, 11-axis MAX System™ CNC-type deburring and chamfering machine that includes technology to increase speed and simplify programming, set-up, and operation. This machine consists of two, five-axis heads and a C-axis rotary worktable. Servomotors position the heads via an X-Y overhead gantry using hardened, chrome, ground shafts and carriers with multiple, preloaded bearings.
In addition, the MAX System™ features multiple nozzles delivering water-based coolant with a rust inhibitor at 200 gpm, noy only to keep the part and tools cool during an operation but also to wash the part and machine work zone. The two heads can perform finishing operations concurrently using various brushes and abrasive tools to minimize overall cycle times…”

Hand deburring is a thing of the past
—
“It’s impossible to design a machine part without ‘burrs.’ In fact, it’s only after the part has been designed and a process has been selected for producing the part that any issue involving burrs on the part become apparent. And yet, those burrs have to be removed for the part to function as it’s designed to do.
Experienced part designers have learned that even if a deburring process is included during the manufacturing plan, the possibility of additional burrs developing remains. In many cases, unexpected deburring is needed in a hurry. Until a better solution can be implemented, a temporary hand deburring solution usually works as a remedy…”
