Challenge: Machined finish on PEEK is too smooth. Our customer needed to rough the surface to help with coating adhesion. Solution: Microblasting units are generally used to help deburr parts, especially in applications where a razor may introduce small cut marks and can weaken the finished part. We took this…

Challenge: Manual deburring took too long to process required throughput. Additional risk of manual deburring error was undesirable. Solution: Fully automated deburring chamber. After months of studying, testing, validating and confirming results, THR Motorsports purchased a state of the art deburring chamber. The results of the study are shared on…

Challenge: 30% CFR PEEK application that pushes the limits of machineablity and tolerances. Additional challenge, part must undergo repeated autoclave cycles and hold a tight tolerance value. Solution: Fully automated deburring chamber. After months of studying, testing, validating and confirming results, THR Motorsports purchased a state of the art deburring…

Challenge: 5 axis machining centers work great, but additional throughput was needed to make tough parts with less handling. In addition, the future in healthcare will continue to have downward pressure on the device industry so finding more efficient ways of making parts is not just a benefit, it’s a…
