Parallel axis gears before deburring(above) and after (below).

The Challenge

Our customer is a major manufacturer of heavy machinery and they needed a solution to the problem of deburring moderate quantities of many different parts. Their main concern was the wide variety of deburring methods and machines in their plant. Many of the same types of gears were deburred in many different ways. Hand deburring imposed a steep learning curve on new employees. Inconsistent quality and output led to high inventory costs. The customer was re-organizing production into cellular modules and needed a comprehensive solution to implement the change. OLS built and delivered six machines.

The Solution: Model 5000 Deburring Machine

• Allowed for manual or robot loading

• Eliminated the subjectivity and variables of many different processes

• Part is placed on spindle and is completely deburred top and bottom without flipping

• New setups can be achieved in about five minutes; stored setups can be recalled with the touch of a button

• Auto Amp Comp monitors and adjusts brushes for wear automatically for consistent quality and maximum brush life, enabling one set of brushes to produce tens of thousands of parts

• Rugged, dependable, and easy to maintain with predictable and reliable output

The Result:

The customer realized so many efficiencies and savings with the the first six deburring machines that they ordered six more.
