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.

Ludlow (/lʌd.loʊ/) is a market town and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It is located 28 miles (45 km) south of Shrewsbury and 23 miles (37 km) north of Hereford, on the A49 road which bypasses the town. The town is near the confluence of the rivers Corve and Teme.

The oldest part is the medieval walled town, founded in the late 11th century after the Norman conquest of England. It is centred on a small hill which lies on the eastern bank of a bend of the River Teme. Situated on this hill are Ludlow Castle and the parish church, St Laurence's, the largest in the county.[2] From there the streets slope downward to the rivers Corve and Teme, to the north and south respectively. The town is in a sheltered spot beneath Mortimer Forest and the Clee Hills, which are clearly visible from the town.[3]

Ludlow has nearly 500 listed buildings,[4] including examples of medieval and Tudor-style half-timbered buildings. The town was described by Sir John Betjeman as "probably the loveliest town in England".[5]
