EdgeBreaker® 4000

Deburring & Edge Rounding of Plasma & Flame Cut Parts and Metal Plates

The EdgeBreaker® 4000 is designed to remove heavy burrs and slag after plasma, flame cutting (oxyfuel). Its trademark is the powerful grinding drum. The drum is able to reach all of the corners by flexing slightly around the material. Thus making this deburring machine the ideal choice for plasma and flame cut parts and metal plate up 4" (100 mm) thick.

The second unit of the EdgeBreaker® 4000 can be equipped with different tools. Either grinding or deburring blocks can be used here. The machine can therefore be adapted to your individual requirements. This creates flexibility even with changing processing requirements.

Your Advantages as an Overview

icon-beidseitige-entgratung

Double-sided deburring and edge rounding

The EdgeBreaker® 4000 processes flame, plasma and oxyfuel cut metal parts or plates on both sides in just a single pass. You will save up to 50% of time compared to working with single-sided machines.

Tool storage for saving processing parameters

If you produce the same metal plate or part from time to time, you can save the processing settings directly in the machine and call upon the values when required. This allows you to quickly setup the deburring machine for repeat production runs. Thus, avoiding errors during setup.

Consistent results for every part thanks to automatic wear compensation for abrasives

For consistent results, it is essential to always know where you stand. The EdgeBreaker® 4000 measures the remaining length of your edge rounding tools (abrasives) within the machine and automatically compensates for the wear off. Leaving you with consistent results from beginning till end of the tools life.

Process reliable and unique

The oscillating grinding drum is the optimal tool to remove plasma cut burrs and flame cut burrs. With a diameter of 16.5" (420 mm) and a flexible grinding surface, it removes burrs from plasma and flame cut parts consistently. The EdgeBreaker® is also capable of accommodating unevenness in metal plate.

Simple operation and maintenance for the deburring machine

The graphical touchscreen HMI is very intuitive and easy to operate. It supports you in setting up the machine and provides tips on operation and maintenance. It can even be used while wearing gloves. For efficient processing without errors.

Quick-change for grinding belt and edge rounding blocks

All processing units (grinding drum and edge rounding units) are equipped with a quick-change system for the tools (abrasives) to minimize set-up times. The grinding drum easily slides on and off the drum fixture. The edge rounding brushes simply click in and out. All without the need for tools! The machine can be outfitted with a variety of different tools (various grits and material composites are available). 

See for yourself: the Video of the EdgeBreaker® 4000!

See for yourself how the Edgebreaker® 4000 gives flame cut and thick plasma cut parts a perfect appearance. All thanks to the efficient removal of burrs and light slag with the grinding drum. As well as double-sided edge rounding with the rounding blocks of thick metal parts and heavy metal plate.

Clean Flame or Plasma Cut Parts in Single Pass

Clean flame or plasma cut parts, without sharp burrs and with perfectly rounded edges is the goal. The EdgeBreaker® 4000 optimally prepares your heavy plate materials for further processing. Double-sided deburring produces the best results in a short time!

Always the Ideal Processing Settings – with the ARKU Wizard

The ARKU Wizard is an intelligent software that helps its operators to automatically adjust the processing settings of their deburring machine. During the process, the material, tool and machine data are linked together. Only four parameters (material, size of burrs, material thickness, desired edge rounding) need to be entered. The tools available to the operator are stored in the Wizard. The software automatically selects the best deburring tool for the particular processing requirement(s). In doing so, the Wizard always optimally adjusts the deburring machine to achieve maximum productivity and minimal tool wear. In this way, operators can be sure of achieving the desired processing results with minimum effort and no time wasted.

Processing Features for every Requirement

ARKU has developed various modules for processing sheet metal parts to ensure the highest quality, reliable processes and individual, tailor-made solutions that meet your requirements.

We were cutting faster than we could deburr the parts. We needed to take deburring to the next level - efficiently, safely and consistently.“
