Streamfinish (SF) process • Workpieces are clamped in a holder and immersed in a rotating
process container filled with grinding or polishing media
• Abrasion by relative movement between media and workpiece
• Deburring, rounding and
smoothing in one operation
• Very short process times
• Ideal for automated production
• High process reliability

Streamfinish machines - properties • With up to 5 holders for workpieces
• Manually or automatic loading and clamping
• Manually or automatic angle
adjustment of holders
• Automated holder change possible
• For dry and wet processing
• Easy change of process container
• Very easy changeover between different products

SF Machines – in-line production
SF machines with automatic loading for processing of camshafts in automotive industry
June 30, 2016 11
SF • Alternating rotation of workpiece up to +/- 2000 rpm
• High tangential acceleration up to 40G
Intense abrasive effect
Very low process time
• Very low Rpk-values (<0,1µm)
possible in short time
• Finishing of inaccessible
areas

Deburring & edge rounding • SF process combines surface finish with
Deburring
Edge rounding
while the shape of the workpiece
is kept intact

Gear wheels • Smoothing
• Deburring
• Edge rounding
• Surface conditioned for
better lubrication

Complex geometries • Processing of complex geometries
Deburring
Smoothing
Edge rounding
• All over improvement in short process times
June 30, 2016 19
Residual compressive stress • SF Process causes residual
compressive stress
in the workpiece
• Higher resistance against
bending stress
• Longer lifetime Residual stress at
camshafts after SF process

Decrease in coefficient of friction • Friction measurement on
two-disk test rig (Amsler)
• With droplets of
Mobil SHC 624 oil and
10% slippage
• Coefficient of friction is
reduced by 30 %
June 30, 2016 21
Surface improvement • Elimination of grinding marks
• Significant reduction of roughness
• Granulate impact creates self-contained
micro-cavities to improve lubrication

Customer benefits • Noise reduction (up to 6dB possible e.g. with gear wheels)
• Up to 10% lower heat generation
• Better lubrication of surfaces
• No roughness peaks (Rpk < 0,1 µm)
reduced wear, no run-in necessary, longer lifetime of oil
• Coefficient of friction can be reduced by up to 30%
Higher efficiency, less energy consumption
overall performance improvement
