Mechanical finishing can be loosely divided into three technology areas: mass finishing, abrasive blasting and buffing/brushing/polishing. All three types of processes can be used for deburring parts as well as for cleaning and creating a desired surface finish and appearance.
Regardless of process type, today's mechanical finishing technology is all about doing more with less--getting higher throughput and improved part quality with reduced use of consumables and lower waste generation. Here's a look at some products that can help users be more productive in the mechanical finishing applications.
