Thermal deburring combines aggressive deburring with fine finishing.

SPHOTA removes burrs of steel, cast iron, brass, Zinc or aluminum created due to operations such as turning, milling, broaching, grinding or die-casting. Using SPHOTA, both internal and external burrs from work pieces can be removed safely. In thermal deburring, the work pieces are placed in a pressure chamber. The chamber is then closed and filled with a mixture of gases, which is later ignited.

Due to the instantaneous high temperature the burrs are burnt since their surface is large relative to their volume. The work pieces are moderately heated.

In order to set free the energy required, the gas mixture has to be compressed prior to the ignition. Higher the chamber charging pressure, higher is the energy, which results in high deburring efficiency.

Gas as an energy transmitter can be easily metered by pressure and has the advantage of an even distribution in the space available.

Consequently it also fills cavities and holes in the work piece. Therefore burrs located internally are also removed during the combustion of the gas.

The burr that vaporizes deposits on all the cooler surfaces inside the deburring chamber.

The deburring chamber is spherical in shape. It is installed on a rigid machine frame. The top part which closes the deburring chamber is mounted rigidly on the machine frame. This is also in a spherical shape. The parts to be deburred are loaded into the bottom part of the spherical chamber. Start push button is pressed. The bottom chamber moves up to the top chamber and gets locked. According to the set parameters the industrial PC calculates the required volume of gases and loads it into the chamber directly. This is followed by ignition. Resulting in deburred components.

There are various indicators and limitations set as per standard safety guidelines.

Charging pressure of the chamber has a set limitation.

Gases are not stored, they are generated when required.

Generator senses slightest leakage and automatically shuts off.

Pressure chamber has been designed to take 7 times its optimal operating force.

Chamber is designed to absorb the pressure generated during deburring process.
