Safety, quality of finish and optimization of surface treatments.
Edge rounding is an integral part of the deburring process. This operation removes sharp edges created after cutting to make parts safer to handle. It produces smooth, even edges with a radius of up to 2 mm, depending on the application.
This finish is particularly recommended for parts intended to receive a surface coating or used in sectors subject to strict standards, such as the food or pharmaceutical industries.
Edge rounding solutions tailored to every need
Timesavers offers a complete range of deburring and edge rounding machines. Compared to manual methods, they guarantee faster, more consistent, and more precise processing.
Depending on the desired level of finish, several technologies are available:
Machines for gently rounding edges
These machines use abrasive discs and/or rollers. In addition to rounding edges, they simultaneously deburr and finish the surface.
Machines for rounding edges and corners
Equipped with rotary brushes (RB), these machines offer a particularly effective solution for obtaining uniformly rounded edges. They also allow for non-directional surface finishing, including on galvanized parts.
Advanced technology for a radius of up to 2 mm
The Series 42 RB incorporates a unique technology on the market. Thanks to its 8 rotating brushes, it allows for precise rounding of edges and corners, up to a radius of 2 mm.
The advantages of rounded edges
The rounded edges offer numerous advantages, both for safety and for manufacturing quality.
- Improving operator safety: significantly reducing the risk of injury (cuts, punctures) during the handling, assembly or use of parts.
- Meeting hygiene requirements: the absence of sharp edges limits the accumulation of dirt, bacteria, and contaminants. This feature is essential in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.
- Save time in production: thanks to automated solutions, laser oxide removal and edge rounding can be performed in a single pass. This reduces processing times and improves productivity.
- Protecting equipment and parts: rounded edges limit premature wear on processing machinery. They also help extend the lifespan of parts.
- Optimize coating adhesion: the rounded shape promotes better adhesion of surface treatments such as paint, galvanizing, or technical coatings. The result is more durable and more uniform.
- Ensuring consistent quality: rounding machines guarantee a uniform finish on all parts produced. This results in a professional and reproducible finish.
- Strengthening the parts: by reducing stress points on edges, rounding improves resistance to wear and corrosion.
- Reduce production costs: Automating deburring and edge rounding reduces manual operations. Labor costs are lowered while ensuring consistent quality.
Why automate the rounding of edges?
Automating edge rounding simultaneously improves safety, quality, and productivity. Timesavers machines offer a reliable solution for efficiently processing metal parts while meeting the highest industrial requirements.
This technology now represents a real performance lever for cutting, sheet metal and metal fabrication workshops.
