Deburring and Smoothing the Edges Using Vibro-abrasive Machining

The paper presents an analysis of the applicability of vibro-abrasive machining for smoothing sharp edges and deburring. The basic conditions for the formation of burrs in machining and shapes of burrs on the edges of objects machined, at the exit of the tool have been defined. Possible ways of removing burrs are quoted. The results of research of deburring and smoothing, rounding sharp edges using vibro-abrasive machining are presented. To illustrate the surface taper ratio and edge the optical microscope Nikon Eclipse MA 200 with the image analysis system NIS 4.20 was used. The effect of treatment time on the final effect of removing burrs from aluminum tube after cutting with band saw was defined.
