Surface Polishing & Finishing
Rapid, Precise Polishing and Finishing
Orbital AFM polishes the edges and surfaces of complex shapes and cavities such as bottle molds and coining dies. with even greater precision, uniformity, and accuracy than our standard Abrasive Flow Machining process. In fact, the degree of edge radiusing and surface finish improvement often resembles a mirror finish.

In a matter of minutes, the Orbital AFM process produces a surface finish that is twenty to thirty times better than the original. Average surface roughness can be reduced to 0.01 micron (0.4 micro inch) Ra or better. Not only does this process produce surface finishes previously unattainable by conventional polishing methods—including hand polishing—but, it does it in one-quarter of the time and cost.

Wide Range of Materials
Orbital polishing is conducive to a broad range of materials, including tool steel, stainless steel, mild carbon steel, aluminum, carbide, and many others. It improves the surface quality of components manufactured by conventional machining, milling, drilling, EDM, casting, forging, or molding. Even the U.S. Mint in San Francisco relies on our Orbital AFM system to obtain an ultra-fine finish on its proof sets.

Easily Obtainable Process
The process, equipment, and abrasive media, engineered to your specific requirement is available directly from Extrude Hone. Installation and commissioning by our factory specialists is also available anywhere in the world.

Perhaps the easiest and most economical way to discover the benefits of Orbital AFM is by utilizing Extrude Hone’s contract machining services.
