Cleaning line THE Kombi 24/4M A ultrasonic cleaning line was designed and built for the cleaning of several parts in different areas of application, including automotive, watchmaking, aeronautics, medical, general and precision mechanics. The machine is an automatic multi-tank with loading and unloading inside the covering. MEG designed and built the plant for the cleaning and drying of metal parts. The machine is composed of an ultrasonic cleaning tank, a tap water rinsing tank, a demineralised water rinsing tank with ultrasonic, and a drying station. The parts are positioned into specific baskets and immersed into the tanks through an automatic handling system with two axes, managed by an easy-to-program PLC with a touchscreen. The Kombi 24/4M A is protected by a partial covering with horizontal sliding doors that allow the operator to monitor the cleaning cycle and to easily access to the machine, eg for maintenance. The tanks are constructed in AISI 304 stainless steel, and the ultrasonic tanks are insulated with an anti-vibration system. Other features include loading and unloading water collector; tank discharge valves on the platform inside the machine for ease of activation; tank cleaning gun for cleaning/rinsing the tanks; and a level control system and electrovalve for the refilling/replacement of the cleaning and rinsing tanks. Deburr for cut and bent tubes KENT Corporation has developed a new Burrmaster deburring machine to automatically deburr the ends of mitre cut and bent tubes. The machine, which can be used in many industries, was recently purchased by a major US manufacturer of exhaust systems. This is the company’s second system and it is considering the purchase of a third. The new Burrmaster machine allows the operator to control the machine completely from the push button station. The process begins when the tube is loaded into the custom clamp fixture by the machine operator. The tube is then clamped and transferred across a spinning wide- faced brush. The head of the spinning brush also rotates simultaneously and this dual action movement gives a high quality and consistent finish around the complete periphery of the tube. The machine is available with manual feed, automatic feed or can be fed by a robot. It is capable of running round, square, shapes, tubes, bars and aluminium extrusions.
