Abstract
In conditions when the production of competitive products becomes the primary task of the
machine building industry, the provision of a high level of manufactured products across the entire
spectrum of their performance is put forward. Similar requirements are imposed on the parts that
make up their composition. Obtaining the surface of a production object with optimal performance
is currently acquiring the same importance as productivity. This is especially true for machining,
usually the final stage in the production of machine parts.
Increasing productivity, reducing labor intensity and ensuring the safety of finishing
operations are urgent tasks of modern mechanical engineering. Such operations include the removal
of burrs from parts, cleaning of sharp edges formed during the processing of workpieces, etc. This problem is especially relevant for parts with complex contours and shapes with a large number of
wells, pockets, shelves, ribs and other structural elements.
The formation of unwanted burrs is a common problem in all types of machining: milling,
turning, punching and casting processes. Burrs must be removed for a number of reasons: safety
requirements, technical specifications for subsequent technological operations (surface hardening,
coating, assembly).
