  3. 1. Definition and process description Streamfinishing Streamfinishing is a mass finishing method of DIN 8589. It is also called abrasion finishing, because there is not always a grinding process, but also a lapping and polishing depending on the process. • Short processing times • Easy automation • Up to 5 processing stations • Possibility to charge and discharge in individual processing stations during the continuous processing • Targeted mass finishing with programmable (adjustable) angles 06.11.2013

  4. 2. SF vs. DF 06.11.2013

  5. SF – Stream-finishing process DF – Drag-finishing machine • Deburring, edge honing, k-factor • Deburring, edge honing, smoothing and design, the smoothing and polishing is polishing 5 – 10 times faster than in DF because of additional centrifugal forces • up to 5 processing stations, in manual • up to 60 tools per batch, for manual operation up to 5 tools at once, easy to charging, batch operation automate with robot • Targeted/focused localized surface • Low operating effort processing • also suitable for the processing of long tools 06.11.2013

  10. 3.2. Process container size and processing stations OTEC‘s stream-finishing machine is available with up to 5 processing stations (PS). The following container sizes are used: - 30 mm (for 1 PS) - 780 mm (from 1 to 2 PS) - 1050 mm (from 1 to 5 PS) - 1400 mm (from 1 to 5 PS) - 2000 mm (from 3 PS) Fast change of the process container without the need for tools. 06.11.2013

  11. 3.3. Quantity of lifting units There is either a separate lifting unit per work piece holder or a centered one. One lifting unit per work piece Centered lifting unit holder 06.11.2013

  12. 3.4. Standard holder The stream-finishing machines are available with various work piece holders. This includes e.g. a 3-jaw chuck, drill chuck, collets, as well as in the automated case e.g. a gripper. Interface S 8 Drill chuck Gripper Collet Jaw chuck 06.11.2013

  13. The work piece holding system has an integrated clamping system, which is activated by compressed- air. Thus, a work piece can be clamped. Clamping system for work pieces with boreholes 06.11.2013

  14. 3.5. Special work piece holder Special equipment such as a high-speed spindle is necessary for certain applications. • Significantly shortening of the processing time because of an additional processing speed • Rotation speed up to 8000 1/min • Work piece – Max. diameter of work piece: 150 mm – Max. length of work piece: 200 mm – Max. weight: 2 kg Areas of application: • Cam shaft • Rotationally symmetrical parts 06.11.2013

  15. 3.6 Positioning of the work piece In order to obtain the best possible quality of finish and the shortest processing times, it is often necessary to adjust the position of the work piece in order to align it in the media stream. The following setups are possible: • Work piece immersion angle (Swivel around the X axis): The tool can be immersed in the medium at any angle within the range of 0-35°. It is also possible to flow against the work piece in multiple steps (Pulsing) • Angle of rotation (Swivel around the Y axis): Positioning as close as possible to the drum wall • Six-axis finishing by integrated robot: Moving of the work piece through freely programmable paths during processing 06.11.2013

  16. 4. Pulsfinish 3.5.2. Pulsfinish • The work piece is accelerated up to 4000 1/min in less than 1 second. • After reaching 4000 1/min the work piece is being braked immediately and accelerated in the opposite direction (pulsing) • Supported with the inertia of the media and the relative movement between work piece and media hardly reachable areas can also be processed (e.g. intersecting bore holes of hydraulic components, recesses, etc.) • The processing is mainly depending of the density of the media (A higher density of the media results in a higher abrasion) Video SF 3/105 with pulse drive 06.11.2013

  17. Advantages compared to other technologies: • Shorter processing times • Significant lower Rpk-value (e.g. Rpk <0,1µm)  Lower coefficient of friction  Less abrasion  No running-in necessary => significantly less contamination of the oil  Up to 2x longer change intervals  Higher energy efficiency 06.11.2013

  18. Examples for Pulsinish applications: Processing of cam shaft Rpk ≤ 0,1 µm before processing after processing Juni 2014 18

  19. Possible improvement with Pulsfinish The four working station deburring, grinding, finishing and belt finishing can be replace with one OTEC PULSFINISH working station. Cleaning of the Deburring Turning/ Milling Hardening internal gear Finishing Grinding Belt finishing Hardening OTEC PULSFINISH for deburring, grinding, polishing and finishing (1 station directly after turning/ milling) 06.11.2013

  20. Possible improvements with Pulsfinish of cam shaft gears, etc. - less noise - lower temperature development - No roughness peaks (Rpk below 0,1)  No destroying of the lubricant film=> No punctual welding of the friction bodies => Reduction of surface pitting - Less abrasion  Less allowance of clearance necessary (Precision parts)  No running in necessary  No metal removal of running in => significantly cleaner oil - Higher degree of efficiency 02.09.2014 20

  21. 5. Influencing factors 5.1. Media The choice of the media determines the machine‘s field of application. They can roughly be divided into 3 classes: 1. Media for deburring/ smoothing (e.g. TZM 2/3, KXMA 24, DS 4/4, KM 6) 2. Media for polishing (e.g. H1/100, H1/400, M3/400) 3. Media for tool preparation (e.g. HSC 1/300) Many granulates can also be used for different tasks. 06.11.2013

  22. 5.2. Machine parameters Number of rotation and depth of immersion are crucial to the intensity of the processing. By choosing the rotation direction and alignment of the work piece, certain areas of the work piece can be streamed precisely. Depending on the surface of the work piece, the processing time has to be varied. 5.3. Work piece geometry Different work piece geometries can be processed in the SF-machine. Especially rotationally symmetrical parts work well. 06.11.2013

  25. • Faster chip flow – higher feed rate and cutting speed possible • Less chipping on the cutting edge (lower jaggedness), because of less notching • Better adhesion of the coating Special toolØ 32 0,2 0,18 0,16 Rauhigkeit Ra [µm] 0,14 0,12 unprocessed 0,1 processed 0,08 0,06 0,04 0,02 0 Source: TIK - 08 06.11.2013
