Deburring
Deburring is perhaps the most critical post-machining operation for ensuring the functionality of the machined part, as well as the safe handling of the part. Deburring has traditionally been a task that takes place after machining to remove any remaining sharp pieces of metal necessary to achieve the desired finish. Deburring has traditionally been a manual task, but various technologies exist for reliably automating deburring.
