High efficient and unbeatable in cleanliness

High efficient and unbeatable in cleanliness

How does it work?

This method uses an oxygen-fuel gas mixture in a deburring chamber to burn/oxidize all burrs.


Materials

We can treat: steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, die casting parts and machined plastics

Customer benefit

- Remove all burrs in one cycle
- Even hard-to-reach edges
- Burr roots are seals
- For bulk and single parts

Use case

How to deburr a hydraulic manifold in 1 or 2 minutes? 95% of all manufacturer's choose TEM

What our customers say?

“This machine has helped us to increase our manifold deburring throughput, part cleanliness, and relieve our colleagues from the stress and strain caused by the manual deburring process which we previously used.”

Rich McGrath
Global Manufacturing Operations Support Manager Sun Hydraulics

“We have tested tiny parts from tool steel and housing parts from aluminium, with an excellent result. A good process for hidden burrs.”

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

The TEM process is one of the fastest and most cost-effective removal processes in which high quality and repeatability are achieved. Burrs, adhering particles and deposits are reliably removed. The machining of a complex or many smaller components is possible after a short changeover time.

The primary areas of application are cast and turned parts as well as distributor blocks. Through the process, considerable savings can be achieved on bodies for hydraulic and pneumatic valves, as well as castings with internal bore intersections. For zinc die-cast parts, the removal of machining and casting burrs occurs simultaneously. In addition, precision turned and milled parts can be deburred in a matter of seconds using TEM.

The energy carrier of the process is gas, which is distributed evenly within the deburring chamber and the workpiece. For gas, especially under pressure, no opening is too small to penetrate. This means that gas flows around every machining burr, every edge, every shape burr and every particle.

The deburring success depends on the thermal conductivity and the specific heat absorption of the metals. Ferrous materials as well as metals such as aluminum and zinc alloys can be processed particularly well. Stainless steel can also be processed, but with limitations, by thermal deburring.

In principle, thermal deburring of plastics is possible. Due to low gas pressures and process temperatures, as well as low melting points of thermoplastics, the process requires special parameters for low energy densities. The thermal deburring machines from ATL are equipped with high-quality control technology so that the processing parameters for thermoplastics can be set sensitively and reproducibly.

In the case of smaller components, the process reaction can cause the workpieces to collide and be damaged. To avoid this, the components are picked up in fixtures. Larger components, such as hydraulic blocks, can usually be machined without a fixture.

New TEM Post-Treatment Center in Merchweiler/Saarland

A new service provider has been strengthening the deburring market since June 2023. Strategically positioned near the Sulzbach site, where HYDAC Group has its main location. In this innovative center, huge hydraulic blocks are now not only thermally deburred, but also thoroughly washed.

The CEO of the NBZ, Silke Ludwig, is proud to present what is currently the world's largest TEM system with an impressive deburring chamber size of diameter 460 x 630 mm (140l).

Jörn Struckmann, CEO of ATL Anlagentechnik Luhden GmbH, is convinced. 👉 #thermaldeburring remains the most effective process for deburring in the hydraulics industry. Within just 1-2 minutes, components can be cleaned from all burrs and chips, both internally and externally, and the result is precise. Sharp-edged and burr-free what completely minimize the risk of burr detachment during system operation even at high pressures. 😎
