Roller Burnishing Tool

Roller Burnishing Tools for All Applications  

Roller burnishing improves surface finish of parts, eliminating processes such as grinding and honing. It is a 'chipless' machining method which cold works the metal without cutting or abrading the surface. It removes no metal but rather compresses, or 'irons out', the peaks of a metal surface into the valleys, generating a dense and uniform surface. Tools can be used on any driven machine spindle with the burnishing process being fast, efficient and cost-effective.

  • Improve surface finish - as low as 0.1mm Ra
  • Improve surface hardness up to 10%
  • Improve dimensional accuracy
  • Reduce noise & friction levels
  • Improve fatigue life
  • Improve corrosion resistance
  • Increase production output
  • Reduce manufacturing costs
  • Low skill levels required
  • Environmentally friendly process
  • Long tool life
  • Low inventory requirements
  • Conventional part preparation
