Proceco's high-pressure water jet technology
uses up to 10,000 pounds per square inch to effectively remove
loose burrs, trapped debris and chips from narrow cavities,
threads and edges of aluminum and steel parts. The high pressure
water stream is accelerated to supersonic speeds to effectively
remove burrs and non-parent metal which could potentially
detach during assembly or operation subsequently causing component
failures.
Proceco engineers develop processes using
a wide range of nozzle configurations, from precision aimed
and probing nozzles to rotary probing and rotary jet nozzles.
Parts may be fixtured for continuous processing or directly
manipulated by articulating or Cartesian robots. The use of
robotics achieves high precision and process flexibility by
adapting to various part configurations. Because Proceco's
hydro deburring technology uses continuously recirculated
filtered liquid, a consistently high level of precision cleaning
or deburring can be achieved. As an added bonus, this technology
is solvent free and environmentally safe.
Hydro-Deburring Integrated into a Parts
Washer
To provide a complete turn-key solution,
high-pressure deburring stage can be integrated into a Proceco's
cleaning systems or in a custom engineered system. These systems
can include cleaning to specs, rinsing & drying or other
operations such as, phosphating, rustproofing, marking or
leak testing.
Accu-Jet®
High-Speed CNC High-Pressure Deburring System
The Proceco Accu-Jet® is
a five-axis, CNC controlled, hydro-deburring machine tool
designed to flush and deburr precision metal or plastic parts.
At the heart of the Accu-Jet® is a four-axis
CNC controlled Cartesian gantry robot designed to pick a part
from a conveyor, flush and deburr machined surfaces and narrow
cavities using high-pressure water at high speed, and replace
the parts onto a conveyor. Cycle times can be greatly reduced
with an optional fifth axis, allowing simultaneous processing
of multiple parts features. High-pressure water up to 10,000
psi is recirculated and filtered to provide a closed-loop
and environmentally friendly process.
The Accu-Jet® is also available with optional
feed conveyors, high impact air blow-off, and vacuum drying
to provide users with a complete integrated solution.
Part manufacturers seeking flexibility, reliability and repeatability
can rely on the Proceco Accu-Jet® to solve
their production deburring requirements.
Accu-Jet Advantages:
Integrated parts loading/unloading
Full four-axis CNC programmable movement
Fast cycle time
No tool changer to maintain
Can receive up to 12 deburring nozzles
of various types
SK-400
Six-Axis, Robotic High-Pressure Deburring System
The SK-400 is a six-axis robotic cleaning
and deburring system designed to remove burrs, chips, and
non-parent material from medium size complex machined components.
Using high-pressure water jets through a rotary lance nozzle,
the articulated robot is programmed to position the lance
to deburr all machined holes, intersections and difficult-to-access
cavities of a workpiece mounted on a fixture. The lance precisely
sprays the pressurized water-base solution to clean and deburr
in one operation. After the cleaning stage, air is directed
through the lance nozzle, and the robot passes through all
machined areas again, blowing excess solution from the part.
The SK-400 is a flexible system that combines reliability,
precision and quality suited for machining shop environment.
