Vibratory Finishing Machines

​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.
