Automated Deburring and Chamfering Make a Difference
James Engineering introduces a dedicated process with compliant technology as a faster, more repeatable and automated process.
Posted: April 13, 2023
James Engineering revealed an automated alternative to traditional deburring and chamfering methods with its patented 11-axis MAX System™ CNC-type deburring and chamfering machine that includes technology to increase speed and simplify programming, setup, and operation. This machine consists of two, five-axis heads and a C-axis rotary worktable. Servomotors position the heads via an X-Y overhead gantry using hardened, chrome, ground shafts and carriers with multiple, preloaded bearings.
In addition, the MAX System features multiple nozzles delivering water-based coolant with a rust inhibitor at 200 gpm to not only keep the part and tools cool during an operation, but also to wash the part and machine work zone. The two heads can perform finishing operations concurrently using various brushes and abrasive tools to minimize overall cycle times. Both of the heads are fully customizable with 12 types of tools available.
One of the main features of the MAX System is having the ability to store as many as 100 part programs, referred to as “recipes”. Individual operations can be chained together to further speed programming. The MAX is capable of such high precision that the company calls it “Focused Deburring™” so only the part or place on that part that requires finishing operations are touched, ensuring the finished product will meet perfect standards.
When it comes to deburring and chamfering machine parts, it is vital to be able to create flawless work on a consistent basis. Due to its easy to learn nature and advanced technology, the MAX System is truly a game changer in the deburring and chamfering industry.
