Linear Vibratory Continuous Finishing System

Data Sheet
Features and Applications
Video

Inovatec’s linear vibratory finishing system is designed to move parts and media through an elongated processing chamber. It brings finishing, separation, and media return into a continuous production workflow.

Review the system around the part material, geometry, required finish, and output. The proposal should define the processing conditions and the equipment included in the line.

Process Controls and System Features

System features can include the following, depending on the configuration. The quotation should identify the features and control scope included in your system.

PLC controls and a process timer
Adjustable vibratory settings
Variable-frequency drive
Compound dosing and process-water distribution
Air cushions supporting chamber inclination adjustment
A parts-and-media separation stage
Media discharge and return equipment
Spray rinsing
Automatic lubrication

Application Review

Applications to evaluate include aluminum and magnesium die-cast components and steel parts. The required process may involve deburring, edge rounding, surface smoothing, or polishing.

Provide representative workpieces and inspection criteria. Review part contact, delicate features, separation, and the result of the finishing process before establishing production settings.

How the System Works

Parts enter the processing chamber with the selected finishing media.
Vibratory movement brings the parts and media into contact while moving the load along the chamber.
At discharge, the parts and media move to the separation stage.
Finished parts leave the line for the agreed rinsing, drying, or downstream operations.
Separated media returns to the chamber for reuse.

The loading arrangement, chamber settings, and separation method should be developed together. These determine whether the system can meet the required finish and production output.

Processing Chamber and Base

The chamber and base use welded construction suited to the machine’s load. A polyurethane lining forms the working surface of the chamber. The equipment proposal should identify the lining specification and construction details for the selected system.

Residence Time and Finishing Conditions

Chamber inclination, vibration settings, media selection, and loading influence the movement of parts through the system. Establish the operating conditions against the required finish during process development.

Separate residence time from production output. An hourly-output estimate should also account for the loading rate, part spacing, separation, and any downstream operations.

Parts Separation and Media Return

The separation arrangement should suit the size and shape of the parts and media. Review screen selection, discharge handling, and the removal of undersized media for the application.

The media return system carries the separated media back to the processing chamber. Its arrangement should account for the media quantity and the handling of residual process water.

Water, Compound, and Rinsing

Define the compound supply, water dosing, and rinse arrangement as part of the line specification. If water recycling is required, include the treatment equipment and operating requirements in the proposal.

Configuration Options

Options to discuss include water dosing along the chamber, a conveyor and collection bin for media changes, alternative separation arrangements, and an access platform.

Discuss these against the application. The quotation should distinguish the supplied equipment from optional additions and customer-supplied handling or utility systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this system be integrated into an existing production line?

Review the loading and discharge positions, available space, required output, and upstream and downstream equipment. The proposed interfaces should be identified in the system layout.

What determines the processing time?

The part, starting condition, media, and required finish determine the process requirements. Chamber movement and settings then need to be established through application testing.

How many operators are required?

Staffing depends on the loading arrangement, automation, inspection, and downstream handling. Review the complete workflow before setting the labor requirement.

Is drying included?

Drying should be identified separately in the proposal. Discuss the required part condition after finishing and the equipment needed for the next operation.

What information do you need for a proposal?

Provide the part material, dimensions, weight, quantity per hour, starting condition, target finish, drawings, floor-space limits, and loading and discharge requirements.
