ABSTRACT:
An automated part contour deburring apparatus has a deburring station which includes a pair of deburring brushes with a pair of gripping rollers disposed on either side of the brushes. The brushes and rollers in the respective pairs thereof are movably adjustable toward and away from each other simultaneously as they cooperate to transfer a part through the station. The adjustment to the positions of the brushes and rollers is determined through operation of stepping motors by a microprocessor-based controller. The contour profile of the part is sensed by banks of light emitters and detectors as the part is fed into the station. The controller repetitively reads the part contour profile and operates the motors to adjust the positions of the brushes and rollers so that they will accommodate the profile of the part as it moves through the station.
