FOCUS ON SURFACE FINISHING
The complete deburring line with Q2S system two F1200-MAG deburring and edge-rounding machines , two WES6000 wet operating extractors , two IOC1200 driven input and output conveyors and the Q2S1200 turnaround station .
DOUBLE-SIDED DEBURRING
Willems Baling Equipment invested in a Q2S double-sided finishing solution , with rotating unit , for its sheet metal parts production .
“ A novel feature of the automated deburring line is a rotating unit to automatically turn large workpieces or heavy sheet metal parts .”
Dutch deburring machine builder , Q-Fin Quality Finishing Machines , has installed an automatic deburring line at Willems Baling Equipment in Hapert , The Netherlands . A novel feature is a rotating unit to automatically turn batches or heavy sheet metal parts . This enables the parts to be deburred and edge-rounded on both sides in one pass , rapidly and with high finishing quality .
Willems Baling Equipment builds machines for the compressed packaging of bulky products . Typical machine products include bulk handling machines ( such as gravel , coil , sand etc .); balers and log shavers . Willems supplies complete production lines to its customers , from production of the raw material to the complete packaging of the product in handy bales ready for sale on a pallet . Engineering , production , assembly , control and service of these production lines are carried out in-house as a total package .
Willems values user-friendly operation , sophisticated logistics and maximum safety . Innovation is a key strength , as it continuously works on the development of new machine features and technologies .
Quality in focus
“ We want to keep our reputation for high quality so we continuously improve and innovate ,” explained Bram Willems , technical sales engineer at Willems , a family business . “ We need the best machines to produce efficiently and with high quality . We therefore have a modern machine park , expanded in recent years , with a press brake , a 5-axis milling machine and the Q-Fin deburring line .”
A lot of sheet metal parts are needed for the machines that Willems produces , including several large and heavy steel plate parts ( up to 25mm thick ). This is necessary because considerable force is applied when the products are pressed into bales . A high-quality finish is important for all these parts .
“ Willems builds to CE quality and no sharp metal edges are allowed . Part deburring is therefore essential . In addition , many parts must be rounded off before electrolytic galvanization and powder coating . All parts of a press
