Deburring may sound like a small finishing step, but it’s a very important part of making quality parts. Whenever a part is cut, punched, or machined, tiny sharp edges, called burrs, stay stuck to the surface. If you ignore these burrs, they can cause big problems. They can hurt workers, damage machines, and cause issues during assembly or coating. Automated deburring is simply the process of removing these unwanted edges using machines instead of doing it by hand.
