Deburring is the removal of irregularities and sharp edges on metal products. The burrs are tiny pieces of metal that are stuck to the surface of the sheet metal, mostly around the cut edges. These are caused by machining work such as laser, water jet, punched or plasma cutting.

Your problem, our solution
Why is deburring of sheet metal required?
- Burrs do not look professional and qualitative, from an aesthetic point of view it is recommended to deburr.
- Chance of minor injuries to assembly personnel, due to sharp burrs.
- Burrs can cause problems during assembly due to incorrect fitting.
- Burrs pose a risk to the proper functioning of the installation in which they are installed. Such as the damage that a burr can cause in the long run in a running motor, due to friction and corrosion.
- Burrs cause problems during post-processing with, for example, a coating. On the sharp side, the layer thickness will be thinner than elsewhere, with all its consequences.

Timesavers deburring machines
Timesavers has developed deburring machines for sheet metal to ensure an optimal manufacturing operation. The deburring tool that is used in the machines is the abrasive belt. Each belt has its own grit size, which is required for different types of burrs and alloys. A finer grit is recommended for softer alloys, whereas a rougher grit is best for alloys like steel.
Deburring can be combined with other machining operations, such as edge breaking and finishing. The machine will then not only remove burrs, but also apply a perfect surface finish. Timesavers offers six machines that can debur sheet metal products.
