Aerospace Component Manufacturer Turns to Fintek
to Solve Hand Deburring Bottleneck
Aerospace is possibly the most exacting and
technological advanced industry there is today.
However, even here, some traditional methods of
engineering can still cause a manufacturing
nightmare.
A leading second tier aerospace component
manufacturer faced a crisis when hand deburring
connectors with difficult external threads was causing
a backlog and a serious month-end bottleneck.
‘The company approached Fintek with two parts for
Us to test. We made the tooling necessary to hold the
parts and used an OTEC pulse head stream finishing
machine, After a litle time experimenting with different
media and cycle times we could precisely deburr each
part in five minutes per part. In the same process,
edge radiusing and a degree of smoothing was
achieved to yield a more finished part, saving the
manufacturer even more time.
We were able to clear the backlog of components for
the manufacturer in just three days. Fintek continue to
process up to 300 components a month for the
‘company, ensuring bottlenecks do not delay production.
Fintek are certified to AS9100 and we can advise you
‘on superfinishing for most aerospace engineered
‘components. We provide a complete sub-contract
service from free trial processing to full scaled-up mass
finishing. One-off components are also catered for
and sometimes more than one surface finish can be
achieved in a single process - for example deburring,
‘edge radiusing and polishing.
Highlights
