AFM Two-way Flow Machines
The typical two-way flow AFM process uses two vertically opposed cylinders to extrude an abrasive media back and forth through or around passages formed by the workpiece and tooling. Abrasive action occurs wherever the media enters and passes through the most restrictive passages. The advantages of this system are:
  • excellent process control
  • can finish both ID and OD of component
  • good control of radius generation
  • fully automated system capabilities
  • faster setup & quick-change tooling
  • faster change-over of media

  

One-way Flow Machines»
One-way flow AFM processing pushes abrasive media through the workpiece in only one direction, allowing the media to exit freely from the part. The advantages of this system are:

  • faster cycle processing
  • easy cleanup
  • media temperature control generally not required
  • able to process larger parts
  • simpler tooling and part change-over
  • accurately replicates air or liquids natural flow
  • does not encapsulate workpart in media

Note: Extrude Hone does not produce one-way flow machines as standard stock items. All one-way flow machines are custom built to customer needs and specifications.
