Our wet metal machines stand out for their innovative features, quality surface finishes, and a longstanding legacy of reliability. Highlighted below are the features of Timesavers wet metal machines and why wet metal processing is critical for many industries.
The Importance of Wet Metal Processing
Wet metal processing involves using coolant or water mixed with abrasive media to deburr and finely finish metal parts. This method offers several key advantages:
- Reduced Heat: The coolant minimizes heat generation during processing, which helps maintain the integrity of the metal and prevents warping or damage.
- Enhanced Surface Quality: Wet processing ensures a smoother, more uniform finish by eliminating pits and handling scratches while achieving lower Ra values than dry machines.
- Dust Suppression: The wet system captures and contains metal dust, creating a safer work environment by eliminating abrasive sparks and floating dust.
- Longevity of Abrasives: Wet processing prolongs the life of abrasive belts and brushes by keeping them clean and cool. Wet machines add lubricity to the abrasives, which enhances abrasive life by up to 5x’s.
- Clean Parts: A wet system cleans parts as they are being deburred and dried as they exit the machine.
- Ra Values: Timesavers wet machines can accomplish single-digit Ra’s and pre-polish finishes
For industries where high-quality finishes and safety are paramount, such as aerospace, medical devices, and automotive, wet metal processing is indispensable.
