Drag Finish Machine

Drag Finishing system represent a very unique technology in surface finish.

The Components to be finished are attached to special Fixtures and a draggeda in a planetary movement through a bed of mass finishing media. The process provides 40 times higher grinding performance when compared to typical vibratory finishing process. The components are individually attached onto fixtures and therefore cannot impinge each other.

Parts well suited for drag finishing include:

a cHigh value or delicate components
a cParts with many contours and complex geometries.
a cExtremely hard materials that are difficult to machine.

Examples could include: Surgical implant, turbine blade, precision parts, pump & compressor components, parts made of hard metal.

The application for drag finishing range from aggressive grinding and radiusing all the way to surface smoothing and high gloss polishing of decorative parts.

In Drag finish systems, regardless of part shape, the grinding or polishing media totally envelop parts to be finished, reaching all surface areas. Especially in medical implant industry, drag finish systems have increasingly displaced robotic grinding and buffing systems which are limited when it comes to reaching certain surface area of parts with a complex geometry.

Drag finishing syaytem are usually designed around the customer requirements, so a range of types and sizes of equipment is available.
