What machining operations to carry out with metal machines

The mechanical engineering industry today demands very high performance in metalworking and the use of machines capable of transforming the shape and size of objects. The result is light and heavy metalwork, such as plates, flanges, casings and even tubes with square or rectangular sections.

In recent years, the installation of automatic metalworking machines has brought about an enormous evolution in the production departments of large-scale industry, enabling the digitisation and improvement of production processes.

This is a considerable advantage for customers who can increase their competitiveness in the market and guarantee their own level of quality in the finished product.

 

TYPES OF PROCESSING

There are many different types of metalworking that can be carried out with our machines:

• Deburring
• Finishing
• Radiation
• Calamine removal
• R2

Let's now take a closer look at what we get from each individual process and which machines we use:

SBAVATURA

The process of deburring process consists in removing burrs, i.e. that part of material which appears in excess in products obtained by moulding or by mechanical or cutting processes. The aim of deburring is therefore to make the workpiece clean and to eliminate excess material along the contours and between the joints.

SATINATURA

satin-finishing is a specific aesthetic finishing treatment for metals. By using special abrasive belts, the machine is able to eliminate surface imperfections on the pieces and make the finish uniform. Satin finishing is also used to prepare the workpiece for polishing thanks to a sequence of belts of different grits.

RAGGING

radiusing edge radiusing is often an essential technical requirement to ensure the functionality of these components. Especially in the vernishing process, edge radiusing is essential to ensure the quality of the finished product. Before machining the edges are at right angles, after machining the same edges will have a radius that can measure more than 2 mm (see section R2).

CALAMINE REMOVAL

The calamine removal means the removal ofoxide from the surface or edges of the cut workpiece. This process is necessary to prepare the workpiece for further processing such as painting or welding.

Machines that carry out this work:

 

 

R2

The machining process R2 consists of 2mm radiusing around the entire perimeter and joints of the workpiece, achieved by working with brushes such as those fitted to OXY M650 4B. Available working widths are 650 and 1350 mm.

WHICH MACHINE TO CHOOSE?

The consistent and homogeneous finish over the entire working surface makes our machines perfect for any type of machining. However, the choice will depend on a number of specific factors such as the working width required, the workload and the different machining operations to be carried out in a single pass.
