Relative to gear hobbing, shaving, and/or post heat-treat grinding to generate accurate tooth morphology, there may come a time wherein vibratory deburring is a requirement to remove adherent burrs.
Sky Island Capital, a Dallas‐based lower middle market private equity firm with a portfolio company, Polished Metals Limited, has acquired Pride Metal Polishing, a Los Angeles-based metal polisher.
I have written numerous articles on tooth flank surface roughness measurement. This is such a page-turner of a subject! Actually, I was thinking I was done with this topic.
Roush Yates Engines announced it has reached a multi-year partnership agreement with Mass Finishing Inc. to provide polishing and deburring equipment.
A recent Materials Matter article compared generic deburring versus chemically accelerated vibratory finishing (CAVF). Both techniques are conducted in a vibratory unit. The main advantage of CAVF processing is its ability to use HDNA, high-density non-abrasive media, to generate an isotropic superfinish, a surface with a non-directional texture and roughness values of ≤ 4 µin (0.1µm).
