has announced the introduction of its new single station Thermal Energy Method
(TEM) S-250 machine.
"With the entry-level, single station TEM S-250, Extrude Hone rounds out its robust line of TEM machines," said a company spokesperson. "The new S-250 makes Extrude Hone's distinctive and highly cost-effective TEM deburring technology more readily available for use in general manufacturing cells and smaller or specialty manufacturers that may not have the physical space or the production volume to warrant a full-size TEM machine. Like all of Extrude Hone's TEM machines, the S-250 uses the same patented and distinctive process that Extrude Hone pioneered more than 30 years ago. Through ongoing innovations, TEM remains a fast, accurate and highly controlled deburring solution. In fact, TEM offers the lowest overall burr removal cost.
"At approximately half the size and weight of Extrude Hone's five station TEM C-250 unit, the more versatile, and compact, yet full-featured single station S-250 easily integrates into lean manufacturing environments. While featuring the smallest footprint of all the TEM units, the single station S-250 does accommodate up to a 30 percent larger chamber volume capacity than the company's next largest machine. Depending upon component size, the single station S-250 can process a million parts or more per year and can easily handle small batch or mass production runs with average end-to-end cycle times of 60 seconds. It also features user-friendly computer controls for fast setups and fine-tuning of process parameters."
"Our new single station S-250 truly completes our TEM equipment line and fills a need within the market for this technology among smaller, specialty, or space-conscious manufacturers," said Jim Wawrzyniak, product manager at Extrude Hone. "We anticipate that the new Extrude Hone single station S-250 unit will be well-received within this market, providing rapid, controlled, and affordable burr removal. We remain dedicated to helping manufacturers and industries cost-effectively resolve their deburring challenges. The TEM technology is entirely unique among material removal processes and is instrumental to the overall quality, performance, and longevity of processed components."
