What Is a Magnetic Barrel Finishing Machine?
Magnetic barrel finishing machines are machines that use magnetic force to vibrate and rotate to perform polishing operations.
Magnetic barrel finishing machines are characterized by the use of magnetized abrasive grains to polish the surface of the object. The abrasive grains are made to move in various ways by the magnetic force, and when they collide with the object, the surface is gradually polished.
The superiority of magnetic barrel finishing machines is that they can easily polish even objects with complex shapes. In addition, since no special skills are required and anyone can work with ease, the machine can be used for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, polishing time is short, enabling efficient work.
Uses of Magnetic Barrel Finishing Machines
The main uses of magnetic barrel finishing machines are deburring and surface polishing of metals. The collision of abrasive grains caused by high-speed rotation effectively polishes the surface. Because they are capable of polishing even complex shapes, they are also suitable for intricate shapes and minute metal parts that normal polishing machines cannot handle.
Furthermore, magnetic barrel finishing machines can provide excellent performance for polishing operations in a short period. They do not require specialized skills, and their high polishing speed makes them easy for anyone to use. Because of their convenience, they are useful in many industries.
The wide range of uses of magnetic barrel finishing machines is due to their characteristics and ease of use, enabling efficient polishing operations in a short time. They are useful in situations where objects with complex shapes and limited time are required for polishing.
Principle of Magnetic Barrel Finishing Machines
There are several methods for moving abrasive grains, such as vibration and rotation, but the one mainly used is the rotary magnetic barrel finishing machine. The rotary magnetic barrel finishing machine uses magnetic force to rotate the abrasive grains, which are then bumped against the object to be polished.
The unique feature of the polishing machine is that it has a container with a magnet and a rotating disc attached to the bottom of the container. The container is filled with the object to be polished, magnetic abrasive grains, water, and compound. As the magnet rotates with the rotating disc, the magnetic abrasive grains in the container move violently and polishing is performed.
The compound is a surfactant, which makes it possible to polish while cleaning the surface of the object. The greatest advantage of magnetic barrel finishing machines is the simplicity of the polishing process. Simply place the material in the container, press the switch, and polishing begins automatically. Skilled techniques are not required, and efficient polishing can be done in a short time.
Types of Magnetic Barrel Finishing Machines
In addition to the rotary magnetic barrel finishing machines described in the principle of section, there are also vibratory magnetic barrels finishing machines, centrifugal, magnetic barrel finishing machines, and magnetic disk finishing machines. Each model has its own principle of and features, so it is important to select the right one for your application.
1. Vibratory Magnetic Barrel Finishing Machine
Vibratory magnetic barrel finishing machines use magnetic force to vibrate the abrasive grains and strike the object for polishing. The short polishing time and high polishing power make it suitable for high-volume polishing operations and polishing of hard materials.
2. Centrifugal Magnetic Barrel Finishing Machine
The Centrifugal magnetic barrel finishing machine uses magnetic and centrifugal forces to rotate abrasive grains at high speed and strike the object for polishing. Because of its extremely high polishing power, it is suitable for high-volume polishing operations or when high-quality polishing in a short time is required.
3. Magnetic Disk Polisher
Magnetic disk polishers use magnetic force to arrange abrasive grains in the shape of a disk and polish objects while rotating them on the disk. They are particularly suitable for polishing flat surfaces and thin parts.
In addition, magnetic disk polishers are easy to adjust the polishing force and can be used for delicate polishing operations. Furthermore, the discs are easily interchangeable, so polishing with abrasive grains of different coarseness can be performed smoothly.
