TEM APPLICATIONS / INDUSTRIES

The TEM process is used in the hydraulic-pneumatics, automotive, die casting and general mechanical engineering sectors.

The process can be used on the following components:

Burrs are located in hard-to-reach areas
Workpieces with maximum “burr-free” requirements
For a large number of different types and quantities, where a universal process is required.
Reliable removement of burrs after mechanical processes such as drilling, milling, turning and grinding.
Deburring of zinc die casting parts.

THE WOW-EFFECT

In a before-and-after comparison, the differences and also the advantages in relation to other methods are clearly visible. Thermal deburring provides reliable and reproducible results in a matter of seconds. The listed examples show components from different industries as well as different materials.

MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT - TEM REPLACES HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JET DEBURRING

Method	High pressure water jet deburring method
Machine	water jet machine with 750 bar
Investment	from 300.000 €
Connection	Electricity Water
Cycle time	2.5 minutes per component
Capacity (pieces/h)	24 pieces
Energy costs	Electricity ~ 80 – 200 kW/h (selected 140 kW/h) Energy costs total ~ 0,55 €/piece
Advantages	Deburring, and cleaning in one cycle no thermal load
Drawbacks	High energy costs Difficult quality control Maintenance-intensive (nozzles, pumps) Selective process, each deburring point must be approached separately

Method	THERMAL deburring
Machine	iTEM320 SC
Investment	from € 305,000
Connection	› Electricity › Methane (CH4) or natural gas › Oxygen
Cycle time	10 components in 90 seconds
Capacity (pieces/h)	400 pieces
Energy costs	Electricity 6 kW/h Methane 0,0073 Nm3/piece Oxygen 0.0146 Nm3/piece Energy costs total 0,03 €/piece
Advantages	Unmatched cleanliness as chips and flitter burrs are oxidized Reliable removal of burrs, adhering particles and deposits, even on several components simultaneously Low energy costs and low expenditure of time Unselective process because the burning process reaches also hidden areas
Drawbacks	Mostly additional cleaning process necessary Slight heat input into the material surface (aluminium approx. 90 °C, steel approx. 150 °C)
