Sutton: CFCA Series
The Sutton Centri-Flo machines are specialized heavy-duty spindle-finishing machines designed for high production environments. These large part deburring systems are primarily designed to finish parts such as turbine disks, blades, blisks, and impellers – with the capability of finishing many other types of parts. These machines are able to finish parts much faster than hand finishing. ALMCO offers 3 models of Sutton machines, the CF Series, CFT Series, and CFCA Series. These large part deburring systems differ from each other based on the movement of the tub and spindle.
Ideal for finishing:
- Large parts
- Parts with tight tolerances
- Parts with hard-to-reach areas
- Parts with long finishing times
- Parts that can’t be finished by hand
- Where part consistency is important
Once the part is placed or fixtured to the spindle, the spindle is lowered into the vibrating tub of abrasive media and processing liquid. The part then oscillates very quickly through an arc of 79-degrees in the vibrating tub of media in one direction and then stops and switches directions continuously. The oscillation allows the abrasive slurry to access valleys that would be difficult to reach with the CFT Series.
Equipment Movement:
– Tub: Vibrates. No rotation.
– Spindle: Oscillates
