Historically, deburring and material removal has largely been a manual operation due to the limitations of previously available automated deburring tools. Conventional automated deburring tools can perform adequately along a straight edge or surface, with little or no compliance for cavities or protrusions, but these tools ultimately fail when part tolerances or paths are not exact. The Engineers at ATI have developed three types of compliant deburring tools that make automated deburring cells a safe, consistent, and economical process.
