Design and Development of Deburring Edge Cutter

Abstract

The design and development of a deburring cutter represent an innovative approach to improving the finishing process of machined components. In many manufacturing industries, burrs generated during machining operations affect the dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and safety of the final product. Traditional deburring methods often rely on manual operations, which are time-consuming, inconsistent, and labour-intensive. This study focuses on developing a compact and efficient deburring cutter capable of removing burrs from various machined job parts, particularly circular and cylindrical components. The proposed system emphasises efficiency, accuracy, and operational versatility. Different tool path strategies and cutter geometries are analysed through iterative modelling and experimental testing to achieve optimal performance. The design incorporates a streamlined cutting mechanism that allows smooth operation while maintaining high precision during the deburring process. Lightweight materials and robust tool construction are considered to enhance durability and reduce operator effort. Furthermore, the developed deburring cutter aims to minimise manual intervention and improve productivity in small and medium-scale workshops. By integrating simple yet effective mechanical design principles, the tool provides a cost-effective alternative to conventional deburring techniques. The study highlights the importance of automated and semi-automated finishing solutions in modern manufacturing environments, contributing to improved product quality, reduced processing time, and enhanced operational efficiency.
