Motor

This is the machine part which supplies the vibratory power needed to kickstart and complete the process.

Water/compound system

Ideally, vibratory trough finishing machines have control systems that regulate the flow of water and compound for cooling and cleaning effects.

Electrical controls

Like other industrial machinery, vibratory trough finishing machines have electrical control systems. The control board includes push-button controls and display units for all machine functionalities.

Water-Water helps normalize the machine’s cooling system, during the finishing process. It also helps wash away scraped materials from the workpieces.

The Media – These are the solid material which put the required touches on workpieces. These controlled materials ‘rub-off’ on workpieces, efficiently fine-tuning workpiece surfaces.

The Compound – These are dry or wet substances that protect the machine itself from corrosion and rust. They mix with the media, to enhance the polishing process.

4. What other names does Vibratory Trough Finishing Machine, bear?

Vibratory trough finishing machines are also called rectangular vibratory finishing machine, linear vibratory finishing machine, tub vibrator machine, Vibratory Tubs, Tub vibratory finishing machines, amongst other names.

5. What are the functionalities offered by a Vibratory Trough Finishing Machine?

Deburring: Deburring is the process of removing sharp edges or burrs on metals, left after machining. A common deburring example is smoothening a sharp corner into a rounded corner in a piece of metal.

Blending: This is similar to deburring. It also smoothens the finish on a metal workpiece. Blending removes the leftover machine lines in the process of milling and shape-cutting metals.

Smoothing/Polishing: Polishing – also called burnishing – take the workpiece to the next level of smoothness. It makes the workpiece shiny and to attain a mirrored look.

Cleaning/Degreasing: One of the usages of a Vibratory Trough Finishing Machine, is surface cleaning. They help to cleanse a part from specks of dirt. Such dirt or stain may include grease, dust or other residues stuck on the workpiece, from previous processing.

Deflashing

Descaling
