Deburring is perhaps the most critical post-machining operation for ensuring the functionality of the machined part, as well as the safe handling of the part. Deburring has traditionally been a task that takes place after machining to remove any remaining sharp pieces of metal necessary to achieve the desired finish. Deburring has traditionally been a manual task, but various technologies exist for reliably automating deburring.

What is the Best Process for Micro-Deburring?
Various techniques address the challenge of getting a clean machined feature at microscopic scales.
Deburr Small Parts With Swarming Stainless Pins
This deburring system uses magnetism to excite small pins that remove light burrs from small, non-ferrous parts.
A Cool Deburring Technique
Ice blasting is a process that uses ice crystals as impact media to remove contaminants. It is popular in Europe for industrial cleaning work because it uses no detergents, solvents or abrasives.
4 Considerations for Electropolishing Machined Parts
Manufacturers considering this non-contact finishing process should expect test runs and close collaboration with service providers before production begins.
