The Electrolytic Deburring Machine
Something I haven’t worked on in a while but is coming up is my new electrolytic deburring machine. I figured I’d post a couple of pictures for posterity.
-
- This is the facade of the machine. I used an old plastic sink for this machine. This is merely a prototype so it’s made out of whatever I could get my hands on. The lights mounted are those $12 LED flood light, they look and work great.
-
- This is the back end of the machine. The actuator isn’t installed yet but we’ll get there.
-
- This is the H-Bridge for the unit. This uses four solid state relays to produce the voltage. You can see the current limiting resistors mounted on the side.
-
- This is the board or the deburring machine. just simply a veroboard with a few items on it. There’s not much to it, just a lot of headers
In it’s current state, it does work to a degree. I need to work on the chemistry of the fluid. Right now it seems to just pit the material. Perhaps the voltage is too low or too high but I suspect it’s purely a lack of conductivity or the incorrect chemistry for this type application.
Eventually we should be able to deburr cutters and various other items. Just thought I’d share.
