Automation of secondary processes, like De-burring or De-flashing were neglected in past in most of the die casting shops and steel foundries due to cost that end customer offered for such operation. These operations were done most of the times manually, as the manpower cost were economical if compared to automation.
In past few years or so, esthetical requirements of parts, consistent parting line requirements in castings, Balancing of casting to packing lines, increased cost of manpower, Safety of manpower, Repeatability of de-burring outcome have forced industry to think on automation of process. When it comes to automation, it becomes very necessary that such automation must be cost savvy, Flexible enough to cater various types of castings and user friendly.
B.E.I Technologies got partnered with Taiwan Smatech to bring such versatile process which enables casting companies to avoid hassles of Robotic de-burring. Our De-Burring machine have below benefits over the Robotic de-burring. We are very sure that the advantages of these machines will create much more value than Robotic De-burring or any other process available in this domain. Just think over it before you plan de-burring solutions
