Burrs

In surface technology, the removal of burrs is an important step in ensuring the quality and functionality of workpieces. Burrs that occur during the manufacturing process can increase surface roughness, impair accuracy of fit and even pose safety risks.

Burrs are usually removed using various mechanical processes such as grinding, deburring or polishing. These techniques are used to smooth out sharp edges and protrusions and refine the surface of the workpiece. The removal of burrs not only improves the aesthetic appearance, but also increases the functionality and durability of the end product.

Specific deburring methods and tools can be used depending on the requirements of the particular application. For example, fine surfaces often require precise grinding or polishing techniques, while robust components may require more aggressive deburring methods to effectively remove burrs.

Burr removal is an important aspect of quality control in manufacturing and helps to ensure that manufactured parts meet the required standards. Careful machining of surfaces to eliminate burrs is therefore essential to ensure the reliability, safety and performance of end products.
