Versa-Flow Spin-Finish Vibratory Tribofinishing Machine

The Versa-Flow Spin-Finish Machine is a very high energy finishing system.

The machine uses a spinning tub of media that is either a very aggressive abrasive to remove heavy burrs from a work piece…or a very fine wet or dry polishing media for producing a very high color, or a low raw surface finish. Parts that are processed in the Spin-Finish are normally parts that: cannot have part-on-part contact; are high value parts; or where a lean manufacturing single part flow is needed.

The tub revolves at a range of speeds dictated by the need of aggression, the need of a more gentle action, or a light slurry. As the tub spins, it creates centrifugal energy and surface feet. The combination of the two create a dramatic combination of forces on the surface of the work-piece which is very effective in removing burrs and producing very low Ra surfaces. The centrifugal force produced by the spinning tub and weight of the media provides a form fitting abrasive mass moving around the work-piece.

Versa-Flow Spin-Finish is very well suited for several industries:

• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Firearm
• Tool & Die

This is a very small sample of where Versa-Flow Spin-Finish can be used for solving finishing problems.

• Parts are fixed using collets or special tooling on the spindle.
• Rotating spindle tilts parts into rotating mass/slurry.
• Part presentation to the mass is critical.
• Once process is complete, the part tilts out of the tub.
