The , stainless steel pin media, can be added to a single or multiple tubs along with liquid solution, cutting fluid or even water. The parts that require deburring are added to the container and the desired cycle time and other parameters are dialed in to the controller.  

When it's time to separate the demurred parts from the media, simply pour everything through a strainer that sits in a second container.  Place the strainer and the container back in the tub of the sPINner unit, momentarily turn it on and all of the magnetic pins are sucked through the colander/strainer.  And you're ready for your next batch of deburring parts to be added.
​
Here are a few usage tips to operate the Magnetic Deburring Machine:

• When working with hard materials that require more power, choose media with a diameter of 0.5mm or larger.
• For softer materials, use media with a diameter of 0.5mm or smaller.
• When dealing with parts that have small holes and crevices, opt for 3mm length media.
• Always make sure that the diameter of the media is smaller than the holes present in your parts.

By following the recommended operation procedure and usage tips, you can effortlessly achieve optimal results, ensuring your parts undergo a thorough and efficient deburring process.

There are some distinct advantages of Techniks Spinner Magnetic Deburring Machines over Manual and Vibratory Deburring

Operator Safety
Manual deburring exposes workers to potential ergonomic and safety hazards, including repetitive strain injuries and exposure to sharp edges. Vibratory deburring machines require regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure safe operation.

Techniks Spinner Magnetic Deburring Machines prioritize operator safety. By automating the deburring process, they reduce the need for workers to handle sharp-edged components manually. This minimizes the risk of accidents and workplace injuries, creating a safer working environment.

Cost-Efficiency
Manual deburring is labor-intensive and can be costly, particularly when skilled operators are required for precision work. Vibratory deburring machines, while more efficient than manual methods, consume significant amounts of energy and may require expensive abrasive media replacements.

Techniks Spinner Magnetic Deburring Machines strike a balance between precision and cost-efficiency. Their automated operation reduces labor costs, and their magnetic field eliminates the need for abrasive media, as a result of the the long life of the stainless steel media, saving on consumables. Over time, this cost-saving advantage becomes evident in reduced operational expenses.

Environmental Impact
Vibratory deburring machines often generate noise and vibration, potentially affecting the working environment and requiring soundproofing measures. Additionally, the disposal of used abrasive media can have environmental implications.

Techniks Spinner Magnetic Deburring Machines operate quietly and without vibration, creating a more comfortable and environmentally friendly workspace. They also produce less waste, as there is no need for disposable abrasive media, contributing to sustainability goals.

The Challenge 
The challenge was to achieve both hard and soft cost savings, as well as time spent on drilling flanges from one side, chamfering the backside and creating a controlled chamfer on the top surface which was a secondary process.

The Solution
We designed an indexable drill with our rear cutting carbide deburring insert along with a fixed pocket chamfer insert to create the precision top chamfer that was required. The spade drill insert also had a special feature that allowed it to chamfer the top side of the bottom hole that was pre-drilled.

The Results
​Four operations were completed in one pass.

The EZ Burr Burr-Free Drill drilled the hole, deburred and chamfered the back all in one step, thus eliminating the secondary step of chamfering the bottom surface on the top hole.

This saved time as well as money, plus the tool life of the Burr-Free Drill achieved a more consistent result and had a longer tool life than the previous method.

EZ Burr was tasked with deburring a series of internal ribs in a very long high-silicon aluminum engine block. A special extra-long (14” OAL) Carbide Series tool with a rear cutting only inserts was required to get down into the internal ribs for the deburring. 

​If that where the only parameters to that need to be met it would be a challenge.  The customer also needed cycle time to remain at 12-15 seconds while running at 1250 RPM and 15.750" IPM. 

EZ Burr had to make an extra length tool that could handle these cutting conditions without adding any cycle time to the process. The insert had to produce a clean, smooth surface and run a consistent number of blocks each and every shift.

The initial testing resulted in a built up cutting edge on the inserts. EZ Burr's solution involved working closely with thier coating vendor to apply the perfect coating to the inserts to get the desired results.

​In the end, the tool design, cycle time and performance all met the stringent requirements as specified by our customer. We also made sure to always have a batch of these specially coated inserts ready for release at our local distributor, and enough long reach arbors on hand at EZ Burr to have ready to deliver in less than 2 weeks.
