In order to answer this question, we first have to clarify what the term „burr“ generally refers to.

\nA burr is a material deformation that can be created through different production or machining processes. It is firmly attached to the actual component without, according to the component drawing, actually supposed to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

During casting, for example, the excess material which is pressed out between the two halves of the mould is referred to as separating burr.<\/p>\n

When removing a surface at the discharge edge of a mould, a machining centre creates a so-called discharge burr.<\/p>\n

Burrs can also be created through drilling, punching or turning.<\/p>\n

The range of burrs reaches from microscopically small to those with a thickness of multiple millimetres. Their shape depends on different factors. During a casting process, for example, the shape of the burr is affected by the age and material of the mould but also by the properties of the casting material.<\/p>\n

In case of mechanical processing, a burr can be more or less pronounced depending on the parameters of the process, the service life of the tool or the material properties of the workpiece.<\/p>\n

Burrs generally have a sharp edge after follow-up processes, such as subsequent production steps, or the assembling process. They are unwanted and have to be removed.<\/p>\n

The „deburring“ process describes the removal of a burr using different processes, which can roughly be divided into mechanical, chemical and thermal deburring. Neither the input nor the output variables are specified in greater detail.<\/p>\n

The users of deburring applications have to define their own objectives. In most cases, deburring specifications are created for this purpose. They clearly define which target values (and corresponding tolerance ranges) are permissible for the interiors and exteriors of workpieces. In addition, the corresponding dimensions are recorded on drawings.<\/p>\n

In order to determine the correct deburring process that can achieve the desired result, the type of burr first has to be defined.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/p>\n

Burr does not equal burr<\/h3>\n

If a component has a burr that is supposed to be removed, the first step is to determine the type of burr. This is done by taking into account the properties of the material as well as how the burr is created.
