Vibratory Finishing
Vibratory finishing has emerged as the go-to mass finishing process in recent years. While some may mistakenly use the term "vibratory finishing" interchangeably with "mass finishing," it's important to note that other processes exist, including the use of centrifugal barrel machines, centrifugal disc finishing machines, and rotary barrel machines. For particularly unique applications, specialized surface finishing machines may also be employed.
In vibratory finishing, parts are processed in a vibratory bowl or tub for a variety of surface treatments, such as deburring, polishing, smoothing, cleaning, descaling, rust removal, and radius. The first vibratory finishing machine, which was a tub-type design, was introduced back in 1957. Five years later, in 1962, the bowl-type vibratory finishing machine was invented and brought to market.
Frome (/ˈfruːm/ ⓘ, FROOM) is a town and civil parish in eastern Somerset, England. The town is built on uneven high ground at the eastern end of the Mendip Hills, and centres on the River Frome. The town lies about 13 miles (21 km) south of the City of Bath, with the market towns of both Westbury and Warminster sitting 6.5 miles to the East. It forms part of the parliamentary constituency of Somerton and Frome. The population was 28,559 in 2021.[1]
Frome was one of the largest towns in Somerset until the Industrial Revolution, and was larger than Bath from AD 950 until 1650. The town first grew due to the wool and cloth industry; it later diversified into metal-working and printing, although these have declined. The town was enlarged during the 20th century but retains a large number of listed buildings, and most of the centre falls within a conservation area.
The town has road and rail transport links and acts as an economic centre for the surrounding area. It provides a centre for cultural and sporting activities, including the annual Frome Festival and Frome Museum.
In 2014, Frome was named by The Times the "sixth coolest town" in Britain.[2] It was shortlisted as one of three towns in the country for the 2016 Urbanism Awards in the 'Great Town Award' category.[3] In its 2018 and 2021 report on the "Best places to live in the UK", The Sunday Times listed Frome as the best in the South West.[4] In April 2019, Time Out listed Frome among 15 of the best weekend breaks from London.[5]
