Abtex Corporation Releases a New Capabilities Brochure
Since 1980, manufacturers worldwide have relied on Abtex as their primary defense against the burrs in cut metal edges that can quickly disable expensive engines and other machinery and that create safety hazards that sometimes lead to debilitating liability lawsuits.
The company has earned its reputation through decades of developing innovative machine/brush solutions for customers in automotive, aerospace, military, industrial, medical, metal-finishing, and many other industries.
Deburring is Abtex’s only business.
Abtex custom-designs brushes only for deburring – not for painting, sweeping or basting.
Whether the deburring challenge involves cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum or powdered metal, Abtex’s solutions offer unparalleled results.
Visionary Machine Design
Abtex brushes are the world’s best answer to difficult deburring problems. But when coupled with a custom-designed machine, engineered to take full advantage of the machine/brush interface, the deburring experience becomes an important element of your operation’s quality control systems.
Abtex has developed machine-based solutions – often using its proprietary, planetary-head design – for the deburring of aluminum extrusions, ground powder metal and fine blanking parts, and for powder metal parts in the “green” stage of manufacturing, when they are easier and less expensive to deburr than after the sintering process.
Abtex’s brushes eliminate every burr while never affecting the geometry of the part itself. The company’s machines are designed to guide, position and manipulate Abtex-designed brushes for maximum efficiency.
Total Systems Solutions
The Abtex Systems Group helps customers achieve even greater deburring efficiency by applying its expertise in vision, robotics, material handling and conveyance to solve customer problems – end-to-end efficiency in everything that comes before and after deburring.
The Systems Group was formalized in 2014 with the company’s acquisition of Nihmble Systems, which had earned a reputation for excellence by modern- izing and streamlining the operations of companies like Corning Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, General Electric, Motion Industries, TRW, CooperVision, and Alstom Signaling.
With Abtex as your deburring partner, you ensure that your manufacturing operation is both efficient and cost-effective, and that your products maintain the quality you build into them.
