Deburring Sheet Metal Edges

Deburring and edge rounding of sheet metal is one of our main fields.

Deburring sheet metal edges.

Deburring of sheet metal and components. A rotary file is part milling cutter and part flat file and goes in a dremel or rotary air tool. When you have deburred edges on your sheet metal you are ensuring safety of your metal piece. Workpieces that have been laser cut or punched.

Whether by hand or by machine more and more sheet metal fabricators are incorporating edge deburring into their sheet metal processing chain. We integrate widebelt grinding systems as well as planetary cup brush technology. Hand files are those flat blades with rows of tiny teeth. Its no question why sheet metal needs to be deburred.

Below are some examples. Removing sharp edges on parts not only protects against injury but allows for optimal downstream processing. This when abrasive paper is rubbed over the edge. Finishing is done to alter the surface of a workpiece getting rid of any scaling and pitting to enhance its quality or prepare it for a next step like painting.

Loeser is building machines for deburring edge rounding grinding and polishing of flat material like fine stamped parts or fine blanking parts as well as profiles. Today fabricators are becoming increasingly aware that edge deburring makes sheet metal fabrication easier during downstream processing. Metal components that need deburred edges that cannot be sharp to the touch. This uses specialized deburring tools which are like tiny knives you run along the metal edge.

We will give you five tips you should be aware of when deburring sheet metal edges. Deburring involves removing any raised edges or small pieces of material that remain attached to a workpiece after it s been modified.
