What Is a Roller Burnishing Tool?
A roller burnishing tool is a specialized tool designed for smoothing metal surfaces using a roller mechanism.
This tool is equipped with a roller that has abrasive materials, such as diamond or CBN (cubic boron nitride), attached to its surface. The rotation of the roller is used to effectively polish the metal surface. The key benefits of using a roller burnishing tool include achieving a smooth finish, improving the surface roughness, and enhancing the hardness of the metal surface, thereby contributing to higher production efficiency. These tools are widely used in the manufacturing of automotive components, aircraft parts, and precision machinery.
There are different variations of roller burnishing tools, including diamond roller burnishing tools and CBN roller burnishing tools, which are selected based on specific material and application requirements. During use, it’s important to adjust the roller size, hardness, polishing speed, and force appropriately. For safety, operators are advised to use protective gear such as safety glasses and masks.
