V for various machines and modes of operation
1. TE Series: The High-Speed Solution (Disc Centrifugal Machines) When speed is of the essence, the TE Series is the top choice. These machines operate using massive centrifugal force: A rotating disc at the bottom sets the abrasive media in extremely rapid motion. Your benefit: Processing times up to 10 times shorter than with conventional methods. Ideal for: Small to medium-sized precision parts that need to be deburred or polished in record time. Special feature: Perfect f

U is for Unmöglich(Impossible) - where vibratory finishing reaches its limits.
Vibratory finishing is a very versatile process, but like any process, it has its limitations. A common misconception is that vibratory finishing can be used for grinding. Material removal is uneven across the entire surface, which categorically rules out the possibility of grinding. Another problem is the time factor. Reducing the dimensions of components by several tenths or hundredths of a millimeter would require an extremely long process. This process would be associated

T for Trocknen (drying)
After wet processing, rinsing (cleaning) or drying often follows. After rinsing, the workpieces are covered with process water and compound, which can have negative consequences for different workpieces and materials. Metals can rust and damage the component, and stains or deposits can form on polished visible surfaces. Plastic parts cannot rust, but stains and deposits can also form here, which impair quality. Drying is the final step that determines the final quality and fu

S wie Schaumbildung und Compound (foaming and compound)
Foaming during vibratory finishing does not occur at all in some processes and occurs to varying degrees in others. Sometimes foaming is desirable, while in other cases unwanted foaming impairs the machining result. Foaming depends on factors such as the compound itself, but also on water hardness, the amount of water-compound mixture supplied and other attributes. Grinding – compounds with low foaming: Low foaming results in shorter processing times and rougher surfaces.
