Cartridge rolls are among the several types of deburring tools. They are often manufactured by wrapping abrasive cloth materials to specific-sized mandrel. There are many kinds of deburring catridge rolls. They include silicon carbide grain, aluminum oxide grain, or alumina grain. They are mostly configured for deburring, blending, polishing and deflashing. In most cases, fresh abrasive grain is on the outer layer of the cartridge. Such rolls are available in different lengths and sizes.

Such cartridge rolls are designed to be sturdy and long-lasting. They can be straight, half taper, full taper and sidewall. They are often attached to a hand-held deburring tool. Such rolls are effective in removing edge breaking and machine tool marks.

Burrs are the normal by product of the stamping process. Burrs are often not acceptable, usually for safety reasons, either for handling or for product safety (burrs cutting into insulation, or mechanical chafing). On the other hand, deburring is done by tumbling parts in a barrel or a vibratory bowl, along with finishing media. Ceramic media is often used for steels. For softer materials, plastic media, walnut shells etc can be used. This type of deburring is usually confined to unfinished materials. For materials that are already finished, such as pre-plated or pre-painted materials, other forms of deburring such as belt sanding or hand filing will have to be done with the associated higher costs.

Speaking of the other forms of deburring, there are many methods to achieving deburring; hand deburring, semiautomatic deburring, abrasive flow machining, thermal energy method, electrochemical machining, high pressure deburring, and so on and so forth. Nevertheless, only hand and semiautomatic deburring involves cartridge rolls, and such instances involve repetitive grinding and filing motion.

Yes, the use of cartridge rolls for deburring is labor-intensive manual work, and the process must be done in a controlled or steady manner or else the part or material you’re deburring may be thrown, which can ruin the product and cause you serious injury. Also, cartridge rolls need to be changed constantly because they wear out. Nevertheless, nothing beats the meticulousness and exactness of manual labor. Debur away at your own risk.
