VECTOR™

Precision Deburring and Polishing System

The Extrude Hone VECTOR™ Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) system is an extremely flexible machine. It is capable of polishing large extrusion and forming dies, deburring and polishing precision parts in small to medium batch quantities.

A wide selection of available media cylinder diameters offer a broad choice of pressure ranges to meet specific production requirements. The VECTOR features an ergonomic and robust design that is easy to maintain and will deliver years of reliable service. A large work envelope accommodates large components and tooling.

A standard feature on the VECTOR is an easy-to-use touch screen operator interface – monitoring and saving all major processing data. A five horsepower hydraulic power unit is also standard, delivering a generous range of process pressures. An optional 10 hp power unit is also available.

Features:

• AUTOFLOW™Advanced Control option
For maximum process control. State-of-the-art control system stores and monitors all major process data.
• Media Temperature Management options
Controlling the temperature of the abrasive media gives a more consistent machining rate
• Individually configurable AFM system
Many options create a tailor-made system.
• Fast set-up and change of media
Generously dimensioned work envelope for large workpieces and rapid tool change.
• All process data at a glance
Touch screen interface for easy operation and setup.
