Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Deburring machines struggle to uniformly process and deburr elongate profiles cut to length in stacks, as sections in contact with each other hinder uniform peripheral processing and deburring due to mutual screening and protection.
Innovation Solution
A deburring machine with a receiving means for stacks or bundles of elongate profiles, a separating device, and a conveying device with rotating brushes that individually process each section, ensuring meticulous deburring by rotating brushes that contact the ends of separated sections during conveying.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If sections are processed in stacks to increase production quantity, then productivity increases, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to mutual screening and protection preventing uniform deburring
Solution Approach 1:
The conveying device is divided into multiple conveying discs that can independently hold and convey individual sections. Each conveying disc has a notch that receives a single section, allowing the stack to be segmented into individual units for processing. This enables each section to be deburred uniformly around its entire periphery while maintaining high throughput by processing multiple sections in sequence.
2Productivity
If multiple sections are conveyed simultaneously to maintain high cycle rate, then productivity increases, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to mutual interference between sections
Solution Approach 1:
The conveying device uses multiple conveying discs with individual notches to segment the stack into separate sections. Each section is held in its own notch on a specific conveying disc, preventing mutual interference during deburring while allowing simultaneous conveyance of multiple sections through the system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from processing sections in a single stacked layer to processing them across multiple conveying discs in a vertical arrangement. This dimensional change allows sections to be spatially separated during processing, eliminating mutual screening while maintaining high productivity through parallel conveyance.
3Productivity
If sections are cut to length in stacks to increase quantity, then productivity increases, but device complexity increases due to need for separating and conveying individual sections
Solution Approach 1:
The conveying device is segmented into multiple independent conveying discs, each capable of holding and conveying individual sections. This segmentation allows the system to process stacks of sections efficiently while keeping each conveying unit relatively simple in design, balancing productivity gains with manageable device complexity.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables efficient deburring of all sections in a stack or bundle, maintaining high processing speed by ensuring each individual section is processed as if cut individually, effectively removing burrs from the entire periphery, including hard-to-reach areas.
Implementation Method 1
at least one brush which is arranged along the conveying device and which preferably rotates and which is in contact with the ends of the separated sections during the conveying of the separated sections and which by means of the rotation deburrs the cut faces of the sections cut to length
