Deburring
Although deburring is a post-processing step, it has a profound impact on a product's quality, function, and brand image. HIROKI not only has comprehensive deburring technology and equipment but also leverages its professional team and customization capabilities to provide the most suitable solutions for clients across various industries. We are committed to starting from every detail, providing a quality guarantee of "safety, aesthetics, and stability" for all our precision-machined products.
What is Deburring? A Critical and Unmissable Step in Manufacturing

Definition and Characteristics of Burrs
A burr is a small piece of excess material that appears on the edges or around the holes of a workpiece during metal processing. They typically present as sharp protrusions or fragments. Burrs are commonly formed during processes like stamping, cutting, milling, drilling, and tapping, and are especially prominent under high-speed or high-pressure conditions.

Negative Impacts of Burrs on Products
- Reduces Product Aesthetic Quality:
Burrs create an uneven surface, affecting both the visual and tactile feel of a product. - Causes Assembly Difficulties:
Burrs can hinder the precise fit between parts, reducing assembly efficiency and accuracy. - Compromises User Safety:
Sharp burrs can easily cause cuts, impacting product safety for the end-user. - Increases Wear and Failure Rates:
Burrs can detach during operation and enter the mechanism, causing internal wear or damage.
Common Technical Methods for Deburring

Manual Deburring
This is a traditional and flexible method that uses files, sandpaper, or grinding wheels for manual finishing. Its advantage is adaptability, making it suitable for small batches of complex-shaped parts. Its main drawback is that it is time-consuming and the quality is highly dependent on the operator's skill.

Mechanical Deburring
This method uses tumblers, grinding machines, or brush-equipped systems for high-volume processing. It is fast and highly repeatable, making it suitable for standardized, mass-produced products.

Vibratory Deburring
Parts, along with abrasive media, water, and additives, are placed in a vibratory finishing machine. The vibration generates friction to remove burrs. This method is especially suitable for small parts or high-volume production lines.

Jet Deburring
This method uses high-speed blasting (a mixture of sand, water, and air) or dry ice to remove burrs. It can treat intricate areas and internal structures, making it suitable for electronic and medical components.

Electrolytic Deburring
This is a non-contact method that uses an electrolyte and an electric current to dissolve burrs. It is ideal for precision parts and is commonly used in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Laser and Thermal Deburring
This method uses high heat or a laser to instantly melt burrs. It is primarily used for specific metal materials or high-value products requiring precision processing.
HIROKI's Deburring Technology and Equipment

Diverse Equipment Configuration
HIROKI is equipped with vibratory finishing machines, automated tumblers, and brush deburring equipment. This allows us to select the most suitable method based on the product’s material, shape, and quantity.

Customized Process Flow
For different industry needs, we design a process flow that pairs our initial stamping with automated post-deburring. This reduces processing risks and improves yield and consistency.

Stable and Consistent Quality
Through automated control and data monitoring systems, we can check deburring results in real-time, ensuring consistent and stable quality for every batch.
Application Examples of Deburring in Different Industries

Electronics Component Industry
Burrs on precision terminals, connectors, or sensor components can affect electrical contact, potentially leading to short circuits or poor connections. HIROKI uses a micro-vibratory, dust-free deburring solution for these products to ensure electrical stability

Automotive and Motorcycle Parts
Components like brake systems, structural brackets, and adapters must have safe, burr-free edges to ensure proper installation and operational safety. HIROKI guarantees meticulous detail by using a combination of tumbling and manual inspection.

Medical and Precision Equipment
Large quantities of hardware tool components, such as drill bits and wrench heads, are often rapidly mass-produced via stamping. HIROKI designs a process that integrates continuous dies with an automated deburring station to save time and cost.

Quality Control and Inspection Standards

Tactile and Visual Inspection
Every product is manually touched and visually inspected by an operator to ensure there are no sharp edges, cracks, or residual protrusions.

Optical Imaging Inspection
We use a CCD optical system for full inspection to detect burr residue at the micron level.

Precision Dimensional Measurement
We use projectors and CMMs to ensure that the dimensions after deburring remain within tolerance.
