Objective

An automotive manufacturer needed a reliable, automated process to deburr CNC- and Swiss-machined aluminum suspension components. The goal was to eliminate sharp edges and tool marks without affecting dimensional tolerances, while also reducing manual labor.

Solution

Bel Air implemented a vibratory tumbling process tailored for deburring aluminum suspension parts. Using non-aggressive media and compound combinations, the process removed machining burrs from edges and interior surfaces while maintaining tight tolerances. This method improved part safety and readiness for downstream operations, while eliminating manual hand-deburring and enabling consistent results across batches.

If you are unsure what equipment and media you require to achieve your desired surface finish, then send us your part, and we will evaluate it and provide you with a metrology report.
