AI Technical Summary
Existing deburring and edge rounding processes for 2D and 3D workpieces are inefficient due to low feed rates and deep infeeds, leading to extended process times, tool wear, and undesirable heat input, with state-of-the-art tools failing to achieve satisfactory stock removal rates.
A tool with multiple finger layers, each containing flat, elongated fingers that can be bent independently, arranged to overlap or be offset, allowing for high finger density without support material, enabling higher feed rates and greater edge rounding in a single process step.
The tool significantly increases removal rates, allowing for more pronounced edge rounding in less time, combining primary burr removal, secondary burr removal, and edge rounding into a single step, improving production efficiency and enabling new machine configurations.
