STREAM FINISHING UNITS SF SERIES

Product catalog summary
Overview of OTEC Stream Finishing Units
The OTEC stream finishing process offers significantly reduced processing times compared to traditional methods, allowing for easy automation without compromising reliability. This efficiency enables seamless integration into industrial production lines.

Process Description
In this innovative process, workpieces are clamped and immersed in a rotating drum filled with grinding or polishing media. The motion of the media around the workpiece, combined with the workpiece's rotation, allows for deburring, smoothing, and polishing in a single step. The high flow speeds of the media enable precise processing, achieving roughness depths below Ra 0.03 μm. The system's design allows for micrometer-level control of material abrasion.

Applications and Benefits
Stream finishing is applicable to various components such as gear wheels, camshafts, turbine blades, and milling tools. Benefits include reduced friction, increased energy efficiency, longer service life, and improved tool reliability. The process can stabilize cutting edges, enhance surface appearance, and improve physical properties.

Automation and Flexibility
OTEC machines offer versatile and efficient surface finishing for both small and large production series. They can be equipped with automation systems tailored to specific applications, enhancing process reliability and operating comfort. Options include immersion depth control and wet processing with adjustable compound concentration.

Technical Specifications
The SF series includes various models with different dimensions, loading methods, and processing capabilities. Machines are equipped with features like adjustable workpiece angles, automated process control, and optional PULSFINISH for intensive surface results.

Research and Development
OTEC's research lab provides professional services to develop processes tailored to specific workpieces and applications. Detailed process logs document parameters such as stock removal and surface quality, aiding in the selection of appropriate grinding and polishing media.

Company Background
Founded in 1996, OTEC has established itself as a leader in precision finishing technology, offering machines that are cost-effective, precise, and superior to conventional systems. The company is based in Southern Germany and supports a global sales network.

2 | THE PROCESS STREAM FINISHING OTEC: WE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE The OTEC stream finishing process offers much shorter processing times compared to conventional procedures. It also allows users to automate processes easily without jeopardising reliability. The shorter cycle times mean that the systems can be integrated smoothly into industrial production lines. Camshaft Lower Rpk values, leading to lower friction and greater energy effi ciency. Lower metal abrasion in the oil, resulting in longer replacement intervals In this new process, one or more workpieces are clamped in a holder and immersed...

STOP & GO HELPS ACHIEVE GOALS QUICKLY The smart optional PULSFINISH process ensures an extremely intensive and precisely controllable surface result in a fraction of the normal time. 1/min. Alternating direction of rotation The newly developed PULSFINISH process is 2500 based on repeated, precisely defined movement intervals between the media and the workpiece, with up to 2,000 rpm. The varying speeds caused 2000 by the inertia of the rotating media in the container, together with the fast workpiece speed changes, lead to relative accelerations of 1500 up to 40 g. The optional pulse drive is...
