Finishing metal parts using mechanical processes is an old practice, dating back to the time of armor and swords.

Over the centuries this process has evolved and become more sophisticated, and today it is possible to perform automatic finishing operations for almost all types of parts, and in large volumes.

The mechanical process that allows this type of operation is known as controlled tumbling and relies on the use of vibratory equipment and abrasive bodies, which, as a result of the vibratory movement, rub against the parts providing polishing, burr elimination, corner rounding, etc. The finishing work ranges from the removal of crusts and burrs, to finishing with tight tolerances.

Surface finishing by controlled tumbling is also used to prepare parts for subsequent operations that require dimensional adjustments.

The MAVITRON automatic finishing machine provides, in a continuous and automatic way, the execution of deburring, pickling, cleaning, and polishing services on parts of the most diverse forms, made of steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.
