Exploit – thermal deburring machine
We have accomplished a complex technology, drawing it nearer to medium and small enterprises by simplifying the purchase and management steps.
Dozens of patented innovations have made the machine simple and compact, halving old costs, taking the thermal deburring system to be one of the most convenient and efficient systems in absolute.
It is not necessary to have multi-disciplinary experts within the company because, thanks to the applied electronics and the remote control, both routine maintenance and any necessary interventions are guided and controlled at a distance.

Innovative construction
The deburring chamber is mobile with an horizontal axis, for a treble effect:
- the engineering of the system is simplified with greater compactness and a strong mechanical resistance; these characteristics lead to intrinsic soundproofing of the machine’s body and to the possibility of transporting it in a unique block, inside a container. In this way deliveries, connections and tests are notably simplified;
- the gas ignition performed is less disruptive than a vertical chamber, as the front of the main flame does not hit directly the elements to be deburred, greatly reducing both the risk of violent piece shifting (risk of scratching) and the use of special equipment for their fixing;
- the “immersion” effect of the elements to be treated is improved within the deburring volume (the gas is present on all sides) and this guarantees more efficiency to the process; resulting in improved deburring with lower power request (i.e. less initial pressure of the mixture).

Flexibility of use
The deburring chambers are interchangeable with lengths from 200 mm to 310 mm maintaining a diameter of 260 mm. This allows improved deburring of both small and large pieces, both steel and light alloy pieces. By means of a new system of low voltage spark plugs, there is no longer a problem of igniting a lower concentration mixture of methane and this is an advantage for the deburring of very delicate elements.

Safety and convenience
The Exploit thermal deburring machine is subjected to CE/PED certification, applicable by a specific notified body and is ready also to respect the north-American Standards such as ASME.
The machine can be easily inserted in to any industrial context. The only restriction is given by respecting the minimum and maximum temperatures for inserted electronics (from +4°C to + 32°C).
Authorisations are necessary from the local authorities for the storage of gases outside. Oxygen can be stored in the liquid form in specific evaporators or in the gaseous form in cylinders. For methane, it is necessary to have a supply of 10 bar and a quality that is at least equal to that used for motor vehicles.
As far as it is concerned the consumption of gas, we indicate the average value for the treatment of steel and cast iron, taking the two expected passages into account: the first is rich in oxygen and the second stoichiometric is used to clean the piece from any burrs condensation residual from the first passage.
Considering a Ø 260 mm deburring chamber with a capacity of about 13 litres the first passage is made at 16 bar and the second at 11 bar.
The following consumptions are obtained with these values:

The methane used for cars is sold in Italy on average at € 0.88/Kg; the oxygen in liquid form can be found at €0.28/m3: this gives an average cost of gas consumption for steel/cast iron cycle of € 0.062.

State-of-the-art electronics for better customer satisfaction
The flexibility of Exploit is even more increased by its electronics, which facilitate and valorize extremely its use. The electronic command system puts a series of utilities at disposal, which allow a capillary control of the machine’s functions, fast production change-over, indication of all the necessary maintenance operations.
The user always has the following data available:

• for the technical-economical part, data relative to productivity and the anomalies that have intervened can be extrapolated, just as an alarms log;

• for the part concerning quality management and production, for each article treated it is possible to memorise (and therefore recall with an easy command) the gas parameters and the type of cycle, the type of positioning with any illustrative photos, for the advantage of repeatability and treatment’s uniqueness.

Another peculiarity that is really innovative is given by the possibility of monitoring all the machine functions via any internet browser. Properly connected, the system is easily accessible by the company’s net system or via internet with a relative safety system (protection by means of a password and access approval).
During the process, a synoptic shows the cycle in its various phases on the video and this can be not only visualised on the machine but also on an external terminal. The display via web of all the diagnostic information allows to eliminate or however drastically reduce the maintenance interventions by the constructor, thus obtaining the objective of maximum customer/user autonomy.

Minimum interventions for a prolonged warranty
The delivery is made in a unique block that is already assembled and the simplicity of connection to the external networks combined to the connection in remote diagnostics, allow to minimise the direct interventions of our specialised staff, even if it is available if necessary. It is therefore possible for SGM to propose, with the payment of an annual fee, an extension of the warranty up to three years from delivery with consequent certain and limited costs for the customer/user.
The spare parts are always available at our office in Monza and, anyhow, the electric and electronic components, the valves and commercial parts used for construction are standard and easy to find on the market.
Contact us, without hesitation, for an in-depth technical view concerning, for example consumption and connections, or for any other information regarding your specific types of production or shapes or particular materials and we will supply the extra information on the subject.
