Operations like deburring, polishing and removing grease are often necessary to deliver a final product, but the steps can be time-consuming, especially if the workpiece must be moved manually between machines. Saving time by performing these processes in-machine or automating the movement of workpieces between machines is a common theme among the cleaning and deburring equipment highlighted in this month’s product spotlight slideshow.

The Emag VLC 100 C chamfering machine, for example, features a pickup spindle and a conveyor at the same height as other Emag machines for easy installation into an automated cell or production line. In the same vein, German Machine Tools of America offers an entire line of parts washing equipment that supports conveyor integration.
