Tumbling

The Tumbling Process

Tumbling is a critical finishing process that smooths and polishes components to perfection. Using vibratory or centrifugal force, the tumbling process involves placing parts in a tumbling machine along with abrasive media. This process effectively removes burrs, sharp edges, and surface imperfections, resulting in a uniform and polished finish. Our tumbling machines are equipped to handle various sizes and types of components, ensuring versatility and precision in every job.

Equipment and Techniques

At Reed’s Precision Machine, we utilize a range of advanced tumbling equipment to deliver exceptional results. Our machines are designed to handle different media types, from ceramic to plastic, to achieve the desired finish for each specific application. The choice of media and tumbling time is carefully selected based on the material and finish requirements of the component. This meticulous approach ensures optimal results for each project.

Automotive Industry

In the automotive industry, precision and durability are paramount. Our tumbling services are essential for finishing engine components, gears, and other critical parts. The tumbling process not only improves the aesthetic appeal of these components but also enhances their performance by reducing friction and wear. This leads to longer-lasting parts that perform reliably under extreme conditions.

Aerospace Industry

The aerospace sector demands the highest levels of precision and reliability. Tumbling is used extensively to finish components such as turbine blades, gears, and structural parts. The process ensures that all surfaces are smooth and free from imperfections, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of aerospace components. Our tumbling services contribute to the overall safety and efficiency of aerospace applications.

Biomedical Industry

In the biomedical field, the finish and cleanliness of components are critical. Tumbling is used to polish surgical instruments, implants, and other medical devices, ensuring they meet stringent hygiene and quality standards. Our tumbling services provide the smooth, sterile surfaces required for biomedical applications, ensuring patient safety and product reliability.

Electrical Components

Tumbling is vital for finishing electrical components, ensuring they are free from burrs and sharp edges that could interfere with functionality. This process is used to finish connectors, terminals, and other small parts, enhancing their performance and durability. Our precision tumbling services ensure that all electrical components meet the high standards required for reliable electrical performance.

Semiconductor Industry

The semiconductor industry requires components with ultra-smooth surfaces to function correctly. Tumbling is used to achieve the required level of smoothness and precision for semiconductor parts, such as wafers and microchips.
