Why is deburring resin (plastic) difficult? Explanation of deburring methods.

Resin is softer than metal and is more susceptible to heat, so when it is machined, it tends to stretch and form burrs.

Burrs on resin (plastic) products mainly occur during two processes: "injection molding" and "machining." ■ Three reasons why removing burrs from resin products is difficult: - The hardness and elasticity vary by material, requiring adjustments in processing methods. - There is a possibility of "melting" when heat is applied. - Many products prioritize safety and appearance, making it unacceptable to leave burrs. ■ What are the methods for removing burrs from resin products? - Manual labor… High precision, but dependent on the worker's skill and incurs labor costs. - Water flow / air blast… Can roughly remove burrs from products with a large number of burrs! - Chemical polishing… Not suitable for products that come into contact with the human body. - Automation with robots… Can consistently reproduce high-quality finishes! What was traditionally considered "difficult" in removing burrs from resin products can now be addressed with FINESYSTEM's burr removal automation technology.
