Spin Finish What It Is - What It Does

Spin Finish is a precision mechanical finishing process. One machine performs the work of a number of hand buffers or polishers on complex shape parts that, due to their many irregular surfaces and angles, are difficult or impossible to finish with automatic equipment. Since this is a mechanical process, Spin-Finish has the ability to produce a consistent finish on every part during every cycle with infinite repeatability.

Spin Finish is designed to produce a variety of surface finishes on all types of metal or alloys parts, ranging from a decorative satin to a very high luster comparable to a color buff, using specially developed dry compounds. A heavy cutting compound, with a minimum of hand work, will eliminate the majority of hand polishing. This may be followed with another compound to achieve a beautiful decorative finish. Two machines may be used together with a transfer of fixtures direct from one machine to another, or the compounds can be changed in the same machine.

Spin-Finish features a rotating head that moves four counter rotating vertical spindles on which parts are mounted on fixtures which spin through the loose abrasive compound. The number of parts per fixture depends on the size and shape of the part.

Typical Spin finish parts include, Dental instruments, Plumbing Fixtures, Turbine Blades, Fire spray Nozzles, Brass Door hardware, Trophies, Milking Machine components, and Hand tool bodies. Spin finish is capable other either high volume on a single part or low volume on a variety of different parts.

Spin-Finish is completely self-contained, dependable and provides maximum service with very little maintenance requirement.

With in the range of equipment listed above the following finishing medias can be used, Ceramic finishing Media, Plastic Resin Finishing Media, Synthetic Plastic Finishing Media, Corn Cob Finishing Media, Walnut Shell Finishing Media, Steel Finishing Media and Loose Grain Finishing Media.

In addition to the equipment and the Mass Finishing Media you are using, a good Finishing Compound should be used, to keep the parts your finishing clean, and the media in proper condition for burnishing or deburring. The following are some examples of Finishing Compounds you could use, Alkaline Cleaner, Acid Burnishing, All metal cleaner/inhibitor, Anti-Rust.

Selecting the right media for your final finish.

The key to a good final finish is knowing where to start. If your parts are made of Steel, Brass, Aluminum, or Stainless steel the type of media will play an important part in your initial surface finish. Plating or anodizing after finishing will also determine what media or medias you will use.

Some finishes require a two-step process, the first being a ceramic or plastic media cut-down, followed by a dry process of treated cob or walnut shell media.

For example: if you have brass or aluminum parts that you what a high lustre finish on. You should start with a good pre-plate plastic media, that would bring the surface finish down to about a 9Ra surface finish. You can either plate the part, or continue the process further, with treated cob media for a high lustre part that could be sealed.
