Inside and outside tube-end deburring Burrs are projections of material beyond the workpiece limits, which consist of an undesirable extended surface over the piece. Also, there are some disadvantages to the manual process: brush wires may be unleashed; and the operator can lose control of the tube and, since the operator is more exposed to the brush and the cutting edges of the tube, may suffer hand injuries.

Magneti Marelli, a FIAT subsidiary, produces a wide range of products and solutions for the automotive segment. One of its main areas of interest is exhaust systems for vehicles such as catalytic converters, particulate filter converters and engine noise attenuation. The tubes used for this type of system are, most of the time, cut to an angle and due to this process have burrs on their extremities. The solution for this automotive company was the OD Tube End Deburring Machine. The result is a machine with the flexibility of the manual process and a safer and faster way to remove the burrs and

The burr formation is almost impossible to avoid due to manufacturing process- es, formation mechanisms, shape and material properties. However, there are several deburring processes that can be used to remove the burrs from a variety of geometries. The usual process consists of manually removing the burrs by using an abrasive or wire brush deburring tool. This method is widely used because of its flexibility, low cost and lack of technology required. On the other hand, the process is time consuming and reduces the productivity in the production lines.

The OD Tube End Deburring Machine is an efficient solution to remove tube and profile end burrs and clean and remove the tube’s sharp edges caused by sawing. This machine enables simultaneous outside and inside tube burr removal, without rotating the tube. To deburr tube ends with the OD Tube End Deburring Machine is an alternative to the manual process offering a productive, safer, simpler and more flexible deburring method.
