Metal burrs refer to small protrusions or sharp metal debris generated at the edges or surfaces of workpieces during metal processing due to cutting, stamping, grinding, and other processes. These burrs usually appear as sharp edges, debris, or protrusions, with a hard and irregular texture.
If metal burrs are not removed in a timely manner, the following safety hazards may occur:
Operator injured
The sharp edges of burrs can easily scratch workers' hands or skin, causing accidents such as cuts and punctures, and increasing occupational health risks.
Equipment damage
Workpieces with burrs may scratch or jam mechanical components during subsequent assembly or mechanical operation, leading to increased equipment wear or failure and affecting production stability.
Product quality decline
Burrs can affect the dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness of parts, leading to poor assembly, inadequate sealing, or affecting product aesthetics, reducing overall product performance and service life.
Increased safety hazards
Especially in high demand fields such as automotive, aviation, and medical, failure to remove burrs may lead to material fatigue, cracks, and even structural failure, which can seriously endanger equipment and personnel safety.
Affects subsequent processes
Burrs can hinder subsequent processing steps such as spraying, electroplating, and welding, leading to process defects or failures and increasing rework costs.
Therefore, timely and effective removal of metal burrs is not only an important step in ensuring product quality and equipment safety, but also a key link in maintaining worker health and improving production efficiency.
