Gentle Surface Finishing of Metal Components
A production line with rotary vibrators, model CB 300
A Turbotron (TT) centrifugal disk finishing system of double batch version
At the exit of their processing channel rotary vibrators are equipped with an integrated screen that allows the separation of the finished work pieces from the processing media
The new Rotamat R 100 coater can handle work pieces with a diameter of up to 300 mm
At the AMB 2024 exhibition, Walther Trowal showcases its equipment to demonstrate the versatility of mass finishing technology for finishing the surface of high-value components. The company also displays a Rotamat system for eco-friendly coating of mass- produced small parts with PFAS-free lacquers.
For grinding, deburring and edge rounding of metal components Walther Trowal exhibits a centrifugal disk finishing machine, type TT---A/2C. Due to the fact that it practically eliminates non-productive idle machine time, this finishing system offers a particularly high productivity with a high work piece throughput and requires a surprisingly small footprint. The so-called “double batch” principle allows one batch of work pieces to be processed -- like deburring, edge rounding or surface smoothing -- while a second batch is passing through the separation system.
The company also presents its CB rotary vibrators, which can be easily integrated into interlinked manufacturing operations. Optional featureslike the work piece infeed chute on the outside of the processing channel and the gate clearing function greatly facilitate the integration of these machines into automated production processes.
Walther Trowal also exhibits the Rotamat R 60 system for the decorative or functional coating of mass-produced small metal parts. This innovative machine enables the use of eco-friendly PFAS-free lacquers, which are increasingly employed by customers. Numerous functional coating materials still contain hazardous materials like polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) and solvents, which, for environmental reasons, must be replaced by less hazardous substances. Even though their use is not yet prohibited, the pressure to eliminate these hazardous materials is increasing. With its redesigned Rotamat system, Walther Trowal now offers manufacturers of metal parts and coating shops a system that enable a quick and problem-free transformation to PFAS-free lacquers.
