CASE STUDY: Manufacturing Customer Survey Finds The Following Results

In 2011, we conducted a client survey of over 1500 manufacturers, across varied industries doing manual and hand deburring.

How Much Production Time Are You Losing?

Set up? Processing Time? The MAX speeds all of this!

FASTEST CHANGE OUTS:

This doesn’t even include the faster processing time of each part... If you deburr 250 parts a month, you could save approximately 120 hours in setup time alone.

How much production time are you losing?

Set up? Processing Time? The MAX speeds all of this!

Once a setup is made, it is saved as a recipe.

Recipes are called up by filename instantly.

No Changeover or setups!

*As an option, we also offer auto-part ID.

Lower your Cost Per Part!

The MAX Systems are ideal for applications where parts are run on a repeat basis. The frequency and

volume is not important. In other words, you can run a different part every single cycle as long as

the parts are re-run at some point; even if it is five years down the road. Your saving yourself time and money!

Fastest Cycle Times in the Biz!

Run a different part every cycle!

Automatic Wheel Wear Compensation

Chamfer, Radius or any other type of edge finish

It has been about five years since we bought your deburring machine. I can boast that we have greatly improved the quality of gears as opposed to hand deburring. The productivity is unmatched! Many of the parts used to take 30 minutes by hand and now the same part is done in about 30 sec.

— Ramdas Amin, Mfg Engineer, GE Aviation Systems

I have been using a James Engineering 462 for about 4 years now. It works wonderful I can’t imagine working without that machine. It has done our company justice!

— Tim Fuller, Manufacturing Engineer, Baldor

We have benefited from faster set-up times to faster cycle times. The machine has functioned effectively without failure ever since we powered it up in 2005.

It is extremely easy to set up on spiral bevel ring gears and many other parts we manufacture.

We highly recommend it for any company interested in improving their deburring processes

Understanding Deburring:

Deburring is the process of removing unwanted rough edges, burrs, or imperfections from machined or manufactured parts. In aerospace, where precision is non-negotiable, deburring ensures that components fit seamlessly together, reducing the risk of mechanical failure and enhancing overall efficiency.

Importance in Aerospace Manufacturing:

Aerospace components undergo intricate machining processes, leaving behind sharp edges and burrs. These imperfections can compromise the structural integrity of the parts and, consequently, the entire aircraft. Deburring is not merely a cosmetic enhancement; it is a critical step in maintaining the safety and reliability of aerospace systems.

Industry Standards:

The aerospace industry adheres to rigorous standards and regulations to ensure the highest level of safety and performance. Deburring plays a pivotal role in meeting these standards, as components must not only meet precise dimensional specifications but also undergo thorough inspection to eliminate any defects that could compromise the integrity of the final product.

any jagged edges

inconsistencies and so on.
