Automated Deburring Solution for High-Volume Production
Furniture hardware is a volume game. A hinge plant ships millions of parts a year; a drawer slide line runs around the clock. Every one of those parts carries zinc die cast flash, stamping burrs or gate vestiges — and the finishing step between casting and plating has to keep up.
Manual deburring caps out at human speed, drifts in quality across the day, and burns labor that plated hardware margins can't afford. Our fully automated robotic grinding machine does what a bench of grinders cannot: continuous, consistent, automated deburring at line speed.
- Fully automated loading: vibratory bowl / conveyor / palletized
- Force-controlled material removal head + adaptive path
- Multi-station index table — the robot never waits
- Per-part process logging for quality records
- No melting on zinc, no scratching on brass
- Material-matched recipes switchable per part family
- Predictable consumable life across materials
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can one cell handle hinges, handles, slides and locks?
Yes — quick-change fixtures and validated recipes switch between hardware families in minutes keeping small-batch runs profitable.
Q2. What automated loading options do you offer?
Vibratory bowl for regular parts, conveyor/tray for complex shapes, and palletized load for mixed production — sized to your cycle.
Q3. How do you avoid damaging soft zinc and brass surfaces?
Material-matched force setpoints and low-heat parameters remove flash without melting zinc or scratching brass.
Q4. Can the cycle time match our high-volume line?
Yes — multi-cavity fixtures and index-table overlap keep pace with line output.
Q5. Does the cell prepare parts for plating or polishing?
Yes — conditioning passes bring the surface to a uniform base before plating/polishing, reducing post-plating rejects.
Q6. Can you run a trial on our actual hardware parts?
Yes — we process your real parts and return cycle time, edge quality and consumable cost before you commit.
