The Next Gen process is a novel process of electrolytic deburring and polishing for small, delicate and high precision components where burr extraction is in microscopic values. The utility could be extended to larger, less delicate components to enhance existing deburring methods. A highly discriminating inherently edge-seeking process, which ensures bur removal with surfaces intact.
The biodegradable nature of the residue renders the process totally environment friendly.
The Next GEN Electrochemical Deburring consists of 50A and 300A, 500A, 750A Models which can be used for deburring of various components depending on the size.

 
Based on the fundamental process of electrolysis, the component to be deburred is made the anode and a carefully dimensionally designed cathode is placed near the area of deburring. The excessive material is dissolved in the electrolyte.
 
 
The Next Gen Electrochemical Deburring 50A model is designed to handle small Two-wheeler gears, Shafts, Hydraulics, Brake cylinders, small aerospace components and other similar components. Next Gen 50A is managed by a PLC controlled system.

The Next GEN Electrochemical Deburring 300A, 500A, 750A models are designed to handle larger components compared to 50A. These can deburr transmission Components (Four-wheeler gears, Shafts, etc), Engine components (Connecting Rod, Piston, etc), Brake Components (Master cylinder, Wheel, etc) and Turbo Components. An optional Industrial PC enhances the accuracy of these models.

The burr on the component with a thickness less than 0.2 mm and height 1.00 mm can be deburred to maintain an rounded edge of radius[R] 0.2 to 0.5 mm. This cycle can be completed within a time period of 20 - 30 seconds. If the burr exceeds specified limits, then the rounding varies from a radius[R] of 0.5 to 1.5 mm and can take 60 - 100 seconds.

 
Next GEN Electrochemical deburring process actively contributes to the quality initiatives of our customer by extending the use of technology for the following adaptations. The following applications of improved deburring is facilitated by Next GEN Electrochemical deburring:

  • Deburring is critical where smooth performance of synchrogear in automobile and machine tools is of utmost importance.
  • Electrochemical Deburring provides the only means of deburring at inaccessible areas and intersection of oil holes in Hydraulic components.
  • The machining of grooves at the intersection of oil passage holes for smooth movement of piston rod in automobile components can be achieved by electrochemical deburring providing greater efficiency and least defects.
  • Rounding of edges for aesthetics and to eliminate injury from jagged edges on timepieces/watches cases.
