- TRUMLINGS-POLERING | Turnab
With the help of our drum can we: polish sharp edges, polishing, wash, and protect your mechanical components by vibratory finishing. VIBRATORY FINISHING WHAT IS VIBRATORY FINISHING? WHAT IS VIBRATORY FINISHING ? Vibratory finishing is a surface treatment method, also called trowalizing. By trowalizing metal components you can get several different properties, depending on what you are looking for. The properties vibratory finishing can offer are: DEBURRING OF SHARP EDGES POLISHING FOR BETTER SURFACES AND FINISH CLEANING CORROSION PROTECTION DEGREASING This creates surfaces that become smooth, clean and free from sharp edges. HOW DOES THE METHOD WORK? Vibratory finishing is done by putting the components in a drum. within the drum, the components are vibrated around and rubbed against chips in a liquid called compound. COMPOUND The compound is the liquid in which the components are spun. The function of this liquid varies depending on the purpose but may have properties such as: DEGREASING CLEANING RUST PROTECTION GRINDING POLISHING CHIPS Chips are the physical material that spins around among the components. These chips can vary between: CERAMIC STONES STEEL BALLS PLASTIC CONES The chips are there to separate the components from harming each other, but mainly to: REMOVE SHARP EDGES POLISH UP THE SURFACE EVEN EVENINGS WHAT PROCESSES CAN A VIBRATORY DRUM DO? Thanks to that the vibratory drum is using both compounds and chips as a method, the drum becomes a very universal machine. that one machine allows us to do all these processes: GRINDING POLISHING RUST PROTECTION DEGREASING REMOVE SHARP EDGES SMOOTH OUT IRREGULARITIES GRINDING With the help of a vibration drum, machined components that have visible unwanted lines can be grind down. This grinding is possible thanks to the chips , which rub against the mechanical component and then grind the surface. POLISHING Sometimes mechanical components or fasteners need to be polished. Polishing by hand is both inefficient and expensive. It is therefore both more time-effective and cheaper to polish the details by trowalizing. The surfaces that can be obtained by polishing in a drum are: MIRROR FINISH GLOSSY HIGH GLOSS REFLECTIVE RUST PROTECTION When using materials that are sensitive to rust, it is important to protect the component as quickly as possible. Instead of sending the details to a surface coating company, you can use a compound with rust protection when you trowalizing the pieces. DEGREASING & CLEANING When a mechanical component is machined in a CNC lathe, the machine uses oils or emulsion to cool the tools and the workpiece. This makes the pieces greasy and dirty. One way to solve this is to wash the details in an industrial washing machine . If the parts have to be drummed for other reasons, a process (washing) can be avoided as the drum can do two steps in one. REMOVE SHARP EDGES Rounded edges slide into each other more easily and reduce the risk of injuries. When processing in a CNC machine, there is a risk of getting sharp edges, especially when milling . In the drum, the details are rubbed against the chips , which grind away the sharp edges and rounded corners. REMOVE IRREGULARITIES There are many reasons to smooth out roughness on your CNC machined mechanical component: AESTHETICS LESS FRICTION LESS WEAR QUIET MECHANICAL RUNNING When the drum rubs the part against the chips it becomes smoother and nicer to hold. This is because the drum lowers the RA and RZ values of the product.

Adjust various factors in the configurator to find the solution that suits you best. TO CONFIGURATOR manufacturing methods WHAT IS A FIXING ELEMENT? A fastener is a component that mechanically joins two or more components together to form a structure. Fasteners are used for non-permanent joints. All components that have an external (male) or internal (female) thread can be called fasteners. The product we associate most with fasteners is screws and nut. Screws, bolts and nuts are one of the most important components of machinery. Without fasteners, everything would have just fallen apart. HISTORY The nail and screw are said to be one of the oldest inventions in the world. Screws have been used since the beginning to merge two different objects. The head of the screw was square at first and until the beginning of the 19th century. Then it became more standardized with round and hexagonal screw heads. DIFFERENT TYPES OF FASTENERS You have probably used both screws and nuts, as most industries use it. But since it is so versatile, it is available in a large number of designs. Therefore, it is good that you can get your screws and nuts exactly as you want, regardless of whether it is standard or tailored to your needs. In addition, fasteners are so much more than just screws and nuts. The different types of fasteners that are available are: SCREWS & BOLTS A bolt and screw is a threaded fastener with an external male. A bolt or screw can have either a full thread or a partial thread. PARTIAL THREADED Partially threaded fasteners is often used for bolts. There is a small unthreaded part after the screw head. The non-threaded part provides more strength than the threaded part, which makes it more resistant to other forces. FULLY THREADED Most often used for screws as they are screwed into a threaded hole all the way to the head. This is a good choice of thread type when side force will not be present for the screw. SCREW HEADS The type of screw head you choose for your screw or bolt has everything to do with the purpose. Needs strong force, a head that fits an external grip is best, but if you are short of space or do not require such a high force, a head with internal tool grip is best. SEXHANT SQUARE EXTERNAL TOOL GRIP An external tool grip is when you fasten the screw or bolt with the help of a tool such as a wrench on the outside of the head. INTERNAL TOOL GRIP An internal tool grip is when you fasten the screw or bolt via a tool pattern inside the head, such as a screwdriver. INSEX TRACK TORX SQUARE SIX- & SQUARE HEAD screws / bolts with hex and square heads are often of the coarser fasteners. When you use this type, you often need more power. This means that you use a tool that has an external grip. CALCULATE PRICE SLEEVE HEAD SCREW The length of the head is equal to the diameter of the screw. Is good when you lack space or want to hide the screw / bolt, but still need strength in your fastener. CALCULATE PRICE FLAT HEAD SCREW Flat head screw is also known as a countersunk screw because it has a very flat outer surface. The flat surface means that the screw does not protrude above the surface of the material, this means that it disappears into the material better and it becomes visually more attractive, and is not in the way if something is to travel along the surface where the screw is located. CALCULATE PRICE ROUND HEAD Rounded screw head is also called panhead has an oval top, but flat bottom. This causes the head to protrude beyond the material to which it is attached. As the head has more mass than, for example, a flat screw head, you can make the internal tool grip deeper, which means that you can apply more force when you attach it. CALCULATE PRICE SHAFT SCREW A shaft screw is a screw / bolt that is of the partially threaded type. The part that has no thread is thicker than the threaded part. Its difference in thickness creates an "axis". This allows the threaded part to be tightened properly, but still leave room for axial play in the non-threaded part. This means that the fastening element itself does not risk coming loose, but what you fasten together with the screw or bolt can move freely. CALCULATE PRICE PINOLE SCREW Pinol screw also called socket screw or pin screw is a type of screw that is used to attach two different components to each other and lock them. The difference between a standard screw and a pin screw is that it becomes much more stable to fasten two components together without having to use a nut as a counter force. This prevents the two components from becoming loose against each other. CALCULATE PRICE THUMBSCREW Thumb screw is a screw that uses an external grip head that can be screwed on and off with the help of the hand. This makes it easy and quick to mount on and off the screw and is used at those times where you need to lighten and close the screw quickly and several times. The advantage of this screw is that you do not need any tools. CALCULATE PRICE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCREWS & BOLTS AVAILABLE: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES ON A BOLT & SCREW? The only real difference between a screw and a bolt is the area of use. Bolts are used in through holes to later be fastened with a nut on the other side. Screws are turned in holes that are already threaded. Screws are more suitable for mounting as they only require one tool to be mounted, but bolts require a tool for the bolt and for the nut. NUTS A nut is a fastening element that is usually hexagonal (hexagon) and has an internal thread in the middle, also called a female. It uses an internal female so it is possible to bring the nut together with a male on a bolt to in turn bring several different components together. There are several different types of nuts for different purposes: SEQUENCE NUT The hexagon nut is the most common nut and has the task of locking two objects together with the help of a bolt. CALCULATE PRICE LOCK NUT A lid nut covers and protects the thread from being destroyed, while giving a slightly nicer look. CALCULATE PRICE FLANGE NUT The flange nut is similar to the hexagon nut but instead has a small collar (flange) that is to distribute pressure and thus reduce the stress level where the nut and component meet. With a flange nut, you do not need a separate washer, which then a hexagon nut may need. CALCULATE PRICE COUPLING NUT Coupling nut is a type of extension to threaded rods so you can connect several rods or extend them. A coupling nut is at least three times longer than a standard nut. CALCULATE PRICE SQUARE NUT A square nut has more contact with the surface of the component than a hexagon nut, this results in less risk of the nut coming loose. CALCULATE PRICE PANEL NUT A panel nut has the same function as a hexagon nut but has a much lower profile to fit in narrower spaces or when it must be lower. CALCULATE PRICE SOCKET NUT The socket nut is cylindrical and has an internal thread, but also an internal tool grip in the form of an Allen head. This type of nut is used when it is too tight to tighten with the help of a tool that uses an external grip. CALCULATE PRICE TRAYS A tray is a disk-shaped plate with a through hole in it. The purpose of the washer is to distance, create suspension or have locking properties for fastening elements such as screws and bolts. A washer is also very important when you want to avoid galvanic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is the rust that is created when two different metals meet, such as steel and aluminum. READ MORE ABOUT TRAYS HERE Countersunk Tray The countersunk washer can have a flat head screw that fits tight and nice for a nicer look. CALCULATE PRICE ELECTRIC INSULATING SLEEVE TRAY This type of washer insulates electricity from spreading, and prevents galvanic corrosion when two different types of metals come into contact with each other. CALCULATE PRICE SQUARE TRAY Fits into a hatch or channel that prevents it from spinning or rotating. This type of tray covers a larger area and can therefore distribute weight better than a regular tray. CALCULATE PRICE SLEEVE TRAY Reinforces and prevents holes from breaking around the screw / bolt. CALCULATE PRICE EASY INSTALLED TRACK TRAY The track means that you can easily get a washer there without removing the joints CALCULATE PRICE SUSPENSION LOCK TRAY The frame prevents the washer from unlocking the bolt through vibrations, abrasion or temperatures. CALCULATE PRICE THREADED BARS Is a rod that is threaded at both ends, or that the entire rod is threaded. Can also be seen as one axel . A threaded rod is a rod of the desired length and diameter that is completely threaded along the entire rod. The task of a threaded rod is to help structures such as concrete, wood or metal so that they can be installed with the help of the threads in another fastening element such as a connecting bolt. CALCULATE PRICE THREADED EFFORTS Also called threaded bushing, is a fastening element that is placed into a hole to create a threaded hole.

Svarvning finns i flera olika termer som CNC-svarvning, automatsvarvning och metallsvarvning. Svarvning är en typ av skärande bearbetning även kallat CNC-bearbetning , som utförs i en svarv för att skapa eller forma ett grundmaterial till en komponent. Ett skärverktyg subtraherar materia ifrån råmaterialet längs en linjär bana, även kallat axel och förädlar ämnet. Detta skapar den cylindriska geometriska formen som önskas. Svarvning förknippar man mest ifrån träslöjden i skolan, men vi integrerar med svarvade produkter varje dag. De flesta CNC-svarvade detaljerna ser man inte, men de finns bland dina möbler, fordon och maskiner, även det du sitter på just nu använder svarvade delar. Svarvning inom metallbearbetning är vanligt inom legotillverkning och kontraktstillverkning. Detta beror på att en CNC-svarv är universal och flexibla. Det innebär att man kan utföra legobearbetning av flera olika typer av produkter i samma maskin, vilket är en styrka inom legoproduktion. Metallsvarvning är den vanligaste typen av svarvning inom industriell tillverkning och metallbearbetning, men det går även svarva i material som plast, trä och keramik.
