Due to missing alternatives, up to now short tubes were usually deburred by rumbling.  Since RSA introduced the RASAPLAN SK, a process-reassuring deburring machine for tubes from 20mm upwards, more and more manufacturers consider brush deburring for   technical reasons.

Vibratory deburring cannot be used by manufacturers who depend on unchanged surface quality. The workpieces strike each other, and the media leave traces too. This process be-comes totally unsuitable if workpieces are to be surface treated afterwards – e.g painted or chrome-plated. The abrasive stones will leave silicate residue on the tubes so that the coat-ing will not adhere.

With yields of 7,000 pieces per hour and a set-up time of only 15 minutes, vibratory de-burring loses its advantage over brush deburring.
