Thermal energy machining deburring machine Extrude Hone
The patented Extrude Hone®/SurfTran® Thermal Energy Method (TEM) uses intense heat for deburring and/or deflashing. Parts to be processed are sealed in a pressurized cylindrical bell chamber with a mixture of a combustible gas and oxygen. This mixture completely envelopes the workpart's burrs and flash, regardless of their internal or external location. The gas mixture, ignited by a spark plug, creates an intense, rapid burst of heat. Burrs and flash, because of their high ratio of surface area to mass, quickly raise to a temperature well above their auto-ignition point and burst into flames.
