Cryogenic Deburring Consultation

Cryogenic deburring is one of the mainstays of our business. We take pride in solving our customers’ burr problems with efficient, fast, and affordable solutions. Within the last week, we ran the parts that are pictured at the top of our cryogenic deburring page for a new customer. I have included a photo of the part that was deburred above. We had run these parts previously for another one of our customers. It was a familiar part for us, but there were some variations from the original customer’s part. However, our new customer was very enthused with the results of our cryogenic deburring process.

Below is the email I received from our new customer.


Good Morning Ryan,

I received the parts back yesterday the 1st. of Sept.

They look great. The next time I run these we will change the ball end mill more often to get rid of the heavy burr that you noticed on some of the slots. And also I have a groove tool being made to cut the O.D. grooves in one plunge to prevent the chips from wrapping around the groove. I know you noticed these also. But your process made it much easier to remove those with just an air hose. This entire order has been a learning experience.

It will be a couple of months before these get in the machine again. I will give you a heads up at that time.

But your work has opened my eyes to approaching plastic parts in regards to quoting for the future.

Thanks again for the help,

K.F.

Cryogenic Deburring

This press release was released over the internet today. However, I wanted to add it to our blog for all of our customers to see.

Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Deburring Service Expands

Worcester, MA - December 2, 2008 - The Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. is pleased to announce expanded capabilities for the removal of machine burrs from complex machined parts. The process, known as Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deburring service, has been adopted by a wide range of customers in diverse industries including medical devices, aerospace, automotive, and process control, among others. Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deburring service is ideal for today’s advanced materials, including most plastics, composites, organics, polymers and advanced synthetics.

“The adoption of these advanced materials by engineers has expanded the market for associated finishing processes and the company’s Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deburring service has filled this niche”, according to Robin Rhodes, President of the Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. The company first offered its cryogenic deburring process in 2003 and it has since become one of its fastest growing product lines.

Many of the parts that benefit from this unique form of burr removal have intricate shapes that are cut or milled on sophisticated CNC machines. They contain critical dimensions and have strict requirements for a blemish free surface finish. The Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deburring process is able to protect the surface finish and critical dimensions of the parts during burr removal because the parts are processed in a cryogenically frozen condition. This not only protects the part, it also promotes the clean removal of the undesired machine burrs when precisely attacked by the systems cryogenic-grade polycarbonate blasting media.

“One of our biggest challenges is that many potential customers in need of machine burr removal solutions, including machinists, manufacturing engineers and quality managers, have not heard of Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deburring,” according to Ryan Taylor, Product Marketing Specialist at Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. “This is despite the fact that our cryogenic deburring offers many advantages, including consistent cleaning, repeatable results, and our ability to remove burrs in recessed and blind holes as small as 0.015 inches”, he added.

The company processes parts for customers on a job-shop or service basis. Typical batch sizes range from dozens of individual components to tens and even hundreds of thousand per week. Typical turnaround time is within a few days of receipt and fast turn service for prototype of other rush parts can be accommodated for a small premium charge. The process is environmentally-friendly, clean, fast and cost effective – especially when compared to other alternative deburring processes.
