Equipment Capabilities

Small Gears

Our technology allows the equipment to easily process parts down to the size of a pencil eraser.

Small gears have completely different requirements. Typically the chamfer or radius is very small; often ranging from .001" to .010'. While our equipment may vary slightly depending on the application and its size, the technology or premise remains the same.

Small Gears
Part Materials

Small parts tend to have many different material compositions. Brass, copper, aluminum and plastics are just a few popular materials used on small gears. These parts can be very soft and require delicate tooling capable of putting very precise amounts of pressure on the part.

Aerospace

Aerospace parts have very strict requirements. James Engineering has equipment throughout the industry. The equipment is capable of producing chamfers and radius with ±.005″.

The technologies developed to meet these requirements in the aerospace industry have been carried throughout our entire deburring line of equipment.

Pump Gears

Pump gears and other similar gears require all burrs to be removed and replaced with small, uniform radiuses. This must be accomplished without dimensionally changing the surface the part.

Large Gears

Large gears, as simple as they appear, can be quite difficult to deburr. These gears can have protuberances, teeth with steep angles and deep roots.

James Engineering’s technologies can excel with all these situations. With our technology parts with significant protuberances can be deburred in one pass.

Our deburring systems can accommodate large gears ranging from 40 inches and up. With the James Engineering systems, any size of part can be deburred.

Large Gears
Snap-Ring Grooves

James Engineering has created specialized tooling to address snap ring grooves. This tooling is very different from our standard tooling. This tooling is able to address the burr and debris present in the snap-ring groove without dimensionally changing the groove.

Non Gear

With our tooling, even non gear parts can be processed.

Machining burrs were removed from the parts shown to the right. The burrs were removed without dimensionally changed the face of the part. This is only possible through precise control of working pressures and geometries. The beauty of the system is that standard tooling can be setup to process gears and non gears alike.

The same tooling was used to remove the machining burrs from the part on the left. Instead of a disc, a brush was used to process this part. Again, because the energy of the deburring tool is put into the burr, the surfaces are not dimensionally changed.
