Vibratory finishing systems produce a cutting action by shaking the processing vessel (the finishing tub) at a high speed, causing the tumbling media and parts to scrub against each other. This scrubbing action precisely abrades the parts to remove burrs.
Vibratory deburring machines and finishing systems produce a cutting action that is very thorough. They remove material from pockets and recesses and inside bores, which cannot be done in a barrel tumbler. As a result, they can be used for very delicate or intricate parts.
