June 7, 2022 - From the 24th to the 26th of May, many interested parties, current customers and vendors from all over North America traveled to the Leveling + Deburring InfoDays at ARKU in Cincinnati. A large majority even brought their own production parts to be processed onsite. The focus of this years event revolved all around leveling and deburring technologies. The goal was to showcase reliable processes and consistently high-quality output in order to save time and money when it comes to metalworking.

Whether it is for the FlatMaster® 55 or FlatMaster® 88, the cassette feature allows for easy access of the leveling and backup rollers. With the simple push of a button, you can extract or retract the upper and lower leveling bank. This makes maintenance and cleaning quick and thus being able to process surface critical materials in no time. Even after leveling dirty materials prior. 

Some of the highlights of the event included the FlatMaster® 88 precision leveler with cassette feature. Thanks to its very wide processing range of 1 – 28 mm (0.04” – 1.10”) in terms of thickness and up to 2,000 mm (79”) in width, it is an extremely versatile machine. All ARKU levelers come standard with a quick-change feature that allow the users to remove the leveling and backup rollers for cleaning and maintenance. With the cassette feature, the leveling and backup rollers can be drawn in and out automatically with just a simple touch of a button. Thus saving tremendous amount of time

The FlatMaster® 120  precision leveler was also displayed with the FlatJack® flatness testing system. This automated flatness testing device allows for heavy and bulky parts to be measured for flatness directly on the outlet roller conveyor of the machine. Therefore making it easier on the operator instead of having to transport the part onto a flatness table. Ultimately it is an immense time saver and eliminates the dangeours need for handling the parts.

Precise but powerful. The discs outfitted with pins reliably remove the slag from the bottom of plasma and flame-cut (oxyfuel) parts. Thanks to bottom-sided deslagging, the parts don’t need to be handled again / flipped over and go directly from the cutting table(s) into the machine for processing.

Besides the entire lineup of deburring machines being on display, ARKU also showcased the efficient deslagging machine - the EdgeBreaker® 5000. The machine is a customer favorite when it comes to processing plasma and flame-cut (oxyfuel) parts. With the help of the powerful pins, slag and burrs can now be removed with a breeze. These pins can be changed easily thanks to an intuitive quick-change solution. The machine also does not require a dust collection system and has a very small footprint. No need to flip heavy parts anymore which is very time consuming and dangerous. Most customers utilize this machine right after their cutting table(s) to easily transport the cut parts directly into the machine for deslagging via conveyor belts.

The universal deburring machine - EdgeBreaker® 6000 delivers precise deburring, edge rounding and surface finishing in just a single pass. Each unit can be adjusted individually for high versatility when it comes to processing.
