The latest technology improvement to the Tecnomacchine (TM) series of gear deburring and chamfering equipment from Helios Gear Products incorporates full CNC capability into the TM 1000 platform. The upgrade offers manufacturers a higher level of repeatability, programmability and ease-of-use.

The TM 1000-CNC offers deburring/chamfering of parts up to 1,000 mm (39.37 in) diameter with a maximum Source: Helios Gear Productsface width of 1,000 mm (39.37 in). An optical sensor locates each workpiece for optimal deburring before the fully enclosed machine utilizes eight CNC axes for programmable positioning (axial, radial, tangential and inclination) of two tool spindles (top and bottom operations). The TM 1000 platform uses tool spindles with speeds up to 30,000 rpm for efficient deburring. The machine also offers an optional pre-deburring station for removing rough burrs before final deburring.

The TM equipment allows consistent, repeatable deburring and chamfering quality, and enables shops to recapture costly manual deburring time: After a short setup and one-time CNC programming, the machine deburrs top and bottom unattended with reliable quality. The TM 1000-CNC system is especially suited for manufacturing gears up to 1 m in diameter.
