Deburring with MicroBlasting
MicroBlasting delivers pinpoint accuracy that allows you to attack a burr at its root without causing dimensional changes to the part. Whether you need to deburr PEEK spinal implants or cross-drilled holes in aerospace components, Comco’s MicroBlasting equipment provides an efficient solution.

Unlike a knife, a rich abrasive stream at a low pressure follows the contours of the implant, covering a wider area in a single pass.
Polymers
Certain softer abrasives, like Sodium Bicarbonate, remove burrs quickly without damaging the underlying surface.
Bone Screws
Remove burrs while maintaining a sharp cutting edge. Can also create a compressive layer on the surface of the threads, which helps to improve the fatigue life.
Metals
Titanium hardens as it heats up, making it tough to machine. MicroBlasting with glass bead gently removes burrs without changing part geometry.
Nozzle Angle
Abrasive particles transfer the most impact energy when the nozzle is positioned at 90° to the target, but abrasive particles ricochet at this direct angle, crowding and slowing the stream. When cleaning or eroding surface material, hold the nozzle at or near a 75° angle to the target.

The Missing Measurements of Deburring
Are old burrs suddenly reappearing? Are burrs popping up in a new location on your part? Is a once-reliable deburring method starting to fail? Chances are, you’re missing a measurement. Manufacturing expert, LaRoux Gillespie, shares the deburring measurements often missed that lead to recurring problems and new burr formations.
