High-Energy Disc Machines

Turbotron Series
The Turbotron range of high energy, centrifugal disc finishing machines are used for fast, aggressive metal removal and rapid cut down operations on small to medium sized components. However, through the use of special processing techniques, Turbotron disc machines can also be used for smoothing and high lustre polishing - even on extremely delicate components.

Turbotron disc finishing machines feature a rotating disc in the bottom of a cylindrical work bowl that generates a centrifugal force on the work mass.  This centrifugal force pushes the parts and media to the periphery of the bowl where it is forced up the stationary outer wall bowl before falling back to the centre under the natural force of gravity.  This continuous vortex-like motion results in a highly efficient process and therefore process times far shorter than can be achieved in conventional vibratory finishing machines.

Separation of parts and media is accomplished by tilting the work bowl over an external separating device. With larger models, part separation and return of the media into the work bowl is automated.

Features of the Turbotron range of disc machines includes:

  • fully automatic gap control (interface between work bowl and spinner)
  • automatic water level adjustment
  • optimum geometry of spinner and wear ring for optimal flow of media and parts
  • total batch integrity due to complete component unloading during each process cycle
