Spindle Finishing

Spindle Finishing

The Versa-Flow Spin-Finish Machine is a high energy finishing system.

The machine uses a spinning tub of media that is either aggressive, to remove heavy burrs from a work pie, or fine (wet or dry), for polishing, producing high colors, or low RA surface finishes. Parts that are processed in the Spin-Finish are normally parts that: cannot have part-on-part contact, are high value parts, or where a lean manufacturing single part flow is needed.

The tub revolves at a range of speeds dictated by the need of aggression, the need of a more gentle action, or a light slurry. As the tub spins, it creates centrifugal energy and surface feet. The combination of the two creates a dramatic combination of forces on the surface of the work-piece which is very effective in removing burrs and producing very low RA surfaces. The centrifugal force produced by the spinning tub and weight of the media provides a form fitting mass moving around the work-piece.
