The Future of Wet Metal Deburring & Finishing
The 41 Series Trident: The Future of Wet Metal Deburring & Finishing
As the metalworking industry evolves, the manufacturers of deburring and finishing applications constantly strive to innovate in their field, creating even more powerful and durable machines to meet the needs and expectations of customers. As a leading manufacturer of metalworking solutions for over 75 years, Timesavers works tirelessly to create dependable machines that save metalworkers time, money and energy. This drive for improvement drove the development of the 41 Series Trident, a line of peerless metal deburring and finishing machines that are engineered, designed and built for 24/7 operations.
Deburring & Finishing With a Wet Machine
A wet deburring machine works by spraying coolant on the workpiece, eliminating the need for an external dust collection unit. Wet deburring machines also come equipped with a filter that allows for the coolant to be recirculated. Larger machines come equipped with filters that use sensors to automatically advance the filter paper when necessary. Additionally, wet deburring systems include a drying unit, so even though the processing is wet, the finished pieces emerge mostly dry. After exiting the machines, some pieces may have residual coolant left on their surface, which will be beneficial to the piece as the coolant used in the process contains rust inhibitors—helping to ward off rust accumulation while the parts sit on inventory shelves.
Many abrasives are more aggressive and last longer in a wet environment due to the lubricity. Wet deburring often provides a higher quality of finish, and parts coming out of a wet machine typically generate very little heat, eliminating the need for cooling, allowing for safer part handling.
Removing the Holdups from Metal Finishing
One of the biggest challenges of metalworking is striking a balance between speed and quality. In many cases, metal finishing machines slow down production runs by taking too long to deliver an exceptional product, delaying downstream processes and inhibiting profitability. The 41 Series Trident rectifies this dilemma with incredibly efficient machines that don’t delay production, ensuring that the final product gets out the door as quickly as possible. Moreover, Trident deburring and finishing machines utilize heavy-duty designs that allow for simple, operator-friendly use, enabling continuous operations that maximize productivity and ROI.
Revolutionary Designs, Unrivaled Results
The Timesavers 41 Series Trident models are 100% made in the USA and equipped with a Siemens Control HMI PLC Interface, electronic abrasive belt tracking systems, integrated filter and coolant systems (with centralized lubrication points for each head), and large infeed loading areas to deliver superior finishes or dimension metal parts with outstanding precision. The Trident also has a plexiglass door for operators to easily see what is happening while the part is running without opening the door.
Robust customization is another key component of the Trident Series. These solutions can be equipped with up to 2 heads in any combination of brush and wide belt abrasive heads. The 41 Series Trident machines come in a 52” width for maximum flexibility. Thanks to the versatility of their designs, Trident machines can handle almost any metal material imaginable, ranging from aluminum to titanium and copper. When you pair these benefits with the incredible durability of Trident components, it’s no surprise why metalworkers across the country rely on these deburring and finishing solutions when they need the highest level of quality and reliability.
Influencing the Future of Metalworking
The 41 Series Trident sets a new standard in the world of metalworking by pairing superb performance with high production speeds. When combined, these advantages have the potential to expand shop floor possibilities by allowing operators to spend less time waiting for downstream processes to finish and more time on adding meaningful value to their shop through additional responsibilities. The Trident Series of machines make use of the superior finishing heads available, significantly reducing the amount of wasted product due to surface blemishes without sacrificing the quality of finished metal parts. When utilized properly, the Trident shows great promise in refining and optimizing finishing and deburring runs in large and small metalworking shops alike, acting as comprehensive solutions that deliver superior results.
