In the past, sheet metal at Fuchs was deburred and edge rounded in time-consuming manual work. Due to the time-consuming use of employees, who could have been employed elsewhere in a more value-added manner, Fuchs invested in an F600 deburring and grinding machine from Q-FIN.

Thanks to the three machining stations – a grinding device followed by four oscillating brushes – various work steps such as deburring and edge rounding are possible in one pass – and at high speed. “We didn’t want to simply convert manual machining into a machine process, but our focus was also primarily on achieving very strong edge rounding within the shortest possible time while maintaining a high working speed or feed rate,” explains David Welter. “The Q-FIN machine is perfect for these requirements. We found the right tools to deliver top performance in this world of extremes in boeck’s HERO deburring discs.”

This is no coincidence, because the team of experts around engineers Marc and Jochen Böck developed the HERO deburring discs for exactly such challenges. “Customized tool solutions for sheet metal deburring, from slag removal and pre-grinding to deburring, rounding, oxide removal and surface finishing, are our passion – from development to production. Self-developed machines with a high degree of automation for the production of tools are an essential part of our structured high-performance processes, which guarantee the highest quality and short delivery times. With the high demands that Fuchs places on the quality and edge rounding of the sheet metal parts, it was quickly clear to us that only HERO deburring discs would come into question here,” says Marc Böck, Managing Director of boeck GmbH.
