GARANT Vibratory finishing machines GMT35 and GMT2 for perfect surfaces

Vibratory finishing has huge potential

Vibratory finishing, also known as barrel finishing, is used to finish the surface of metal and plastic workpieces.

The workpieces are placed in a trough together with grinding or polishing media (grinding bodies) and an additional agent (compound) in an aqueous solution. The oscillating movement (vibratory finishing) of the container creates a relative movement between the workpiece and the media. The abrasive media, so-called grinding bodies or chips, remove the material as required. Depending on the specific requirements, the removal rate can be set higher or lower by different process parameters.

For automated finishing of small to medium batch sizes, we recommend the vibratory finishing machines from GARANT in a compact design.

A simple solution for any requirement

Requirement: Deburring

Example: Holders made of S355 steel, laser-cut edges and machined holes, deburred on all sides. No high demands on the final surface condition. Quantity: 80 pieces

1st process step: Deburring

The ceramic grinding bodies in a triangular shape with straight edges were selected for this step. This shape is characterised by its robustness and long tool life. It is often used to process simple, flat workpieces with pronounced edges.

  • Abrasive media: 501510 1010T
  • Ceramic grinding bodies: coarse
  • Shape: triangle, dimensions: 10 × 10 mm
  • Compound: 501650 UNI, universal for steel and stainless steel, for grinding and polishing with corrosion protection
  • Processing time: 30 min
  • Water: on
  • Speed: 3000 rpm

Requirement: Deburring and polishing

Example: Turned parts made from steel 42CrMo4, with bores in the shell, deburring on all sides. Surface glossy in final condition. Quantity: 10 pieces

1st process step: Deburring

The ceramic grinding bodies in the oblique cylinder shape were selected for this step. The round shape is ideal for processing bores and round workpieces. The oblique ends also enable the stepped edges on the upper side of the workpiece to be easily reached.
