Abtex Tri-Ten deburring systems have solved problems for some of the world’s most quality-conscious companies. For competitive reasons, we protect our customers’ identities, but here are some stories of the Abtex technology behind their deburring success. Fineblanking See what happens when an automotive supplier needed to deburr huge volumes of fineblanked parts of many different shapes and sizes. No problem for the Tri-Ten! This powdered-metal manufacturer needed to save floor space while deburring two sides of a transmission ring. Watch the Tri-Ten deburr one side, flip the part, and deburr the other. Flow-Through vs. RTO Tri-Ten deburring systems are generally configured either as flow-through or return-to-operator (RTO). Flow-through systems are specially designed to integrate seamlessly and provide maximum efficiency with customers’ existing upstream and downstream operations. Conveyor beds and mechanisms are designed to be easily raised and lowered to line up with existing conveyors and other parts-moving devices. Below, a brief, 3D video shows the basic operation of a flow-through Tri-Ten, designed to deburr both sides of fineblanked parts. Next, is the process in action for a real fineblanking customer. Return-to-operator systems are designed for freestanding operation. Burred parts are placed into the system by a human or robotic operator and precisely deburred parts are returned to the same place for inspection or delivery to the next stage in the manufacturing process. This first 3D video demonstrates the RTO process in animation.
