Finish Parts Held in Dedicated Fixtures
A drag finishing machine holds parts in fixtures and moves them through a bed of finishing media. The holders and part spacing are designed for the actual geometry, so the process can limit contact between neighboring parts. Review fixture grip, exposed surfaces, immersion, and clearance before selecting the machine.
Review the Listed Machine Specification
The listed machine has a 100 L vessel, 2.2 kW main motor, 0.37 kW lifting motor, and a workpiece-clamp speed range of 0–160 rpm. Dimensions are listed as 1020 × 860 × 1840 mm, with a weight of 450 kg. Verify these figures against the supplied configuration and installed layout.
The table lists 24 parts per cycle. The actual batch depends on part dimensions, fixture design, loading clearance, and the process. Confirm the fixture arrangement instead of treating this figure as a capacity guarantee for every component.
Select Media and Process Controls
The source describes a Siemens touchscreen and PLC, variable speed, stored programs, and interchangeable media tanks. Confirm the controller, program capacity, tank-change method, and supplied fixtures. Choose media, immersion, speed, and time from trials with representative parts.
Applications and Inspection
Potential applications described on this page include cutting tools, dies, turbine blades, and suitable implant components. Each application needs its own dimensional, surface, and cleanliness criteria. A polished appearance does not establish regulatory acceptance, structural performance, or a universal improvement in service life.
Request a Drag Finishing Proposal
Send part drawings, material, dimensions, weight, required exposed surfaces, permissible holding locations, burr condition, target finish, and batch quantity. Inovatec can review fixtures, media, machine configuration, loading, and sample-process evaluation.

What Is Drag Finishing?
Parts are held in fixtures and moved through finishing media. The fixture exposes the required surfaces while controlling how the workpiece is supported.
How Does the Finishing Action Work?
Relative movement between the fixtured part and media treats the exposed surface. Media, speed, immersion, and time determine the proposed process.
Which Components Need Review?
Review the vessel, drives, lifting arrangement, holders, controls, guarding, and process media. Confirm the supplied configuration and utilities in the quotation.
Which Operations Can Be Considered?
The source describes deburring, edge refinement, surface smoothing, and polishing. Confirm the required operation and permissible stock removal through testing.
Why Use Dedicated Fixtures?
Fixture design and spacing can limit contact between parts. Verify clamping, clearance, contact marks, and the surfaces shielded by the holder.
How Does It Differ from Loose-Part Finishing?
Drag finishing holds parts individually instead of processing them loose in a media charge. Compare loading effort, access, batch size, and the desired result.
Which Parts Should Be Evaluated?
Suitable delicate, valuable, or complex components may benefit from fixture-based processing. Send drawings and material details to assess holding and media access.
How Are Industry Requirements Checked?
Tooling, aerospace, and medical applications require their own inspection and acceptance criteria. Process selection alone does not establish compliance or component performance.
Which Media Should Be Used?
Match grade, geometry, and process conditions to the material and target surface. Verify the result and stock removal with representative parts.
What Maintenance Is Required?
Follow the supplied manual for holders, drives, lifting equipment, controls, and media inspection. Qualified personnel should perform adjustment and servicing.
Is Speed Adjustable?
The listed workpiece-clamp range is 0–160 rpm. Confirm the speed controls for the supplied machine and establish settings for the actual part and process.
How Is Production Cost Compared?
Compare fixture loading, cycle time, labor, consumables, inspection, rework, and maintenance at the required output. A fixed productivity multiplier is not a general guarantee.
