LOW MICROINCH FINISH

  • Produces a 4 to 8 Ra surface finish in one pass.
  • Improves surface irregularities and tool marks.

PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS

  • Burnishing is a repeatable and consistent process
  • Fast cycle times – measured in seconds, not minutes!

ACCURATE SIZING

  • ID burnishing tools produce accurate sizing in .0001″ increments.
  • Roller burnishing results in 25% size improvement in steel and up to a 50% improvement in high ductility materials.

LOW COST

  • Eliminates secondary machines and set ups.
  • Eliminates secondary processes such as grinding, honing and polishing.
  • Elliott burnishing tools feature long lasting and replaceable wear parts, reducing total cost over the life of the tool.

WORK HARDENING

  • Burnishing increases the surface hardness through the cold working process and compressive forces.
  • Increases metal’s resistance to fatigue and failure at stress points.
  • Produces a dense and uniform surface.

VERSATILITY

  • Burnishing is effective for many different part configurations.
  • Suitable process for a variety of metals – all ductile metals can be burnished!
  • Multi-roll burnishing tools are adjustable to cover a size range.

PROVEN QUALITY

  • The burnishing process has been refined and improved  for over 100 years and has a proven record of success.
  • RBT will continue to provide the industry’s highest quality burnishing tools.

EASY-TO-USE
