Deburring is the process of removing unwanted raised edges, sharp fragments, or burrs from a machined or fabricated metal surface. These burrs are typically formed during operations like drilling, milling, turning, or cutting and can negatively affect part functionality, safety, and aesthetics.
What we do
Erix Tool specializes in automatic deburring solutions, particularly in applications where access is limited—such as the backside of holes or internal features. Their tools are designed to integrate seamlessly into automated machining processes, reducing the need for manual labor and improving consistency.
Why Deburring Matters
- Functional Integrity: Burrs can interfere with part assembly or movement.
- Safety: Sharp edges can pose hazards to operators.
- Precision: Burrs affect dimensional tolerances and can lead to faulty fits.
- Aesthetic Quality: Clean edges contribute to a professional finish.
How Erix Tool Enables Efficient Deburring
Erix Tool’s patented systems automatically deploy a cutting wing (or blade) once inside the hole. This wing extends and engages the workpiece to perform the deburring operation, especially on the backside of holes, where conventional tools cannot reach. Once the task is completed, the wing retracts, allowing the tool to exit the hole safely.
This mechanism is especially advantageous in:
- Aerospace and defense components with internal channeling.
- Automotive parts requiring backside hole deburring.
- Hydraulics and valve bodies.
- Any high-precision manufacturing process.
Key Advantages of Erix Tool Deburring Solutions
- Automation-Ready: Compatible with CNC machines and automatic cycles.
- Single-Side Access: Performs back deburring from the front side of the workpiece.
- Tool Longevity: Uses high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide inserts for durability.
- Customization: Available in multiple sizes, including semi-standard and special designs.
