The Abtex Tri-Ten Deburring System uses Three-Brush Planetary Head Units designed to produce optimal brushing action in through-feed applications. Three, 10" disc brushes offer 207 sq. in. total of abrasive surface area for each unit, compared to 151 sq. in. with six, 6" brushes or 75 sq. in. with three, 6" brushes. Further, independent variable speed drives allow for job-to-job fine tuning of the rotary head-to-individual brush speed ratio by the system operator.

Available in both wet and dry configurations, all Tri-Ten Series motors and electrical components are on the outside of the process cabinet. This design assures that critical components are safety isolated from the wet environment.

The wet system has a reservoir and filtration system at the rear of the machine for continuous circulation of coolant. Parts are placed on a conveyor, as they are in the dry Tri-Ten system. As they pass under the first planetary head, three brushes, bathed in a constant spray of coolant, deburr the top surface.

Parts are then picked up by a magnetized overhead conveyor and passed over the second planetary head whose brushes are also bathed in the coolant. This head deburrs the bottom surface.

Finally, the finished parts pass over a demagnetizer and exit the system.

Both Tri-Ten Systems have incorporated a unique, operator-friendly way to change out the brushes. There is no threaded bolt or nut retaining the brush from underneath. Instead, the operator simply turns a horizontally located set screw to release or capture the brush via a "knob-headed" retaining pin. This eliminates the need for a spindle lock since the brush and center retaining pin need only be held up in their mounting position during installation and removal.

The Abtex Tri-Ten System design is the result of extensive lab work and 25 years of machine building and brush application experience. Abtex' approach with all equipment is to make units that are simple in their design, but robust in their construction. The result is overbuilt equipment that performs reliably and effectively over the long term.
