Vertical Drag Finishing
Drag finishing machines are a specialized type of surface finishing equipment widely used in manufacturing to achieve high-quality finishes on precision components. Unlike tumbling or vibratory systems, drag finishing involves mechanically dragging parts through a bed of grinding or polishing media using specially designed fixtures. This process offers precise control over the interaction between the part and the media, making it ideal for applications such as deburring, polishing, and chamfering of complex and high-value parts that require specific edge or surface specifications.
One common application of drag finishing is in the manufacturing of cutting tools, where it is used for tasks like edge preparation, polishing, and honing to enhance performance and longevity. The benefits of drag finishing include rapid and effective finishing, uniform treatment of all surfaces, repeatability, protection of delicate parts, and improved surface quality leading to enhanced component performance.
Available in various configurations, ranging from 2 to 6 heads, offering flexibility for different batch sizes. Well-suited for:
- Deburring and polishing cutting tools such as drills, taps, and end mills.
- Finishing medical and pharmaceutical parts like pill punches.
- Processing smaller, intricate components.
