Cleaning line
THE Kombi 24/4M A ultrasonic cleaning line was designed
and built for the cleaning of several parts in different areas of
application, including automotive, watchmaking, aeronautics,
medical, general and precision mechanics.
The machine is an automatic multi-tank with loading and
unloading inside the covering. MEG designed and built
the plant for the cleaning and drying of metal parts. The
machine is composed of an ultrasonic cleaning tank, a tap
water rinsing tank, a demineralised water rinsing tank with
ultrasonic, and a drying station. The parts are positioned into
specific baskets and immersed into the tanks through an
automatic handling system with two axes, managed by an
easy-to-program PLC with a touchscreen.
The Kombi 24/4M A is protected by a partial covering with
horizontal sliding doors that allow the operator to monitor
the cleaning cycle and to easily access to the machine,
eg for maintenance. The tanks are constructed in AISI 304
stainless steel, and the ultrasonic tanks are insulated with
an anti-vibration system. Other features include loading
and unloading water collector; tank discharge valves on
the platform inside the machine for ease of activation; tank
cleaning gun for cleaning/rinsing the tanks; and a level
control system and electrovalve for the refilling/replacement
of the cleaning and rinsing tanks.

Deburr for cut
and bent tubes
KENT Corporation has developed a new Burrmaster
deburring machine to automatically deburr the ends of mitre
cut and bent tubes. The machine, which can be used in
many industries, was recently purchased by a major US
manufacturer of exhaust systems. This is the company’s
second system and it is considering the purchase of a third.
The new Burrmaster machine allows the operator to
control the machine completely from the push button
station. The process begins when the tube is loaded into
the custom clamp fixture by the machine operator. The tube
is then clamped and transferred across a spinning wide-
faced brush. The head of the spinning brush also rotates
simultaneously and this dual action movement gives a high
quality and consistent finish around the complete periphery
of the tube.
The machine is available with manual feed, automatic
feed or can be fed by a robot. It is capable of running round,
square, shapes, tubes, bars and aluminium extrusions.
