Q. Why is it effective for automation?
Deburring complex shapes and deep holes is highly difficult with manual work and also challenging to automate through conventional machining. Water jets maintain impact force even at a distance, making them highly effective for automating deburring processes and reducing labor requirements in such areas.

Features of the Dedicated Deburring Machine “JDM”
“JDM” is a specialized machine developed specifically for deburring small workpieces. Compared to conventional models, it increases water jet pressure to improve deburring performance. In addition, the newly developed dual-nozzle system enables a more compact machine design.
【Main Features】
・ High-Pressure Water Jet up to 70 MPa
By increasing pressure beyond conventional models (approx. 50 MPa), deburring performance is significantly improved. This expands the range of burr types and materials that can be processed and enables automation and labor reduction for deburring processes that previously relied on manual work.
▲ Capable of removing burrs from cross holes and gear sections.
・ New Dual-Nozzle System (Straight + L-Type). Access Up to 5 Surfaces with a Single Nozzle
The functions of a “straight nozzle” and an “L-type nozzle” are integrated into a single unit. Eliminating tool changes contributes to a more compact machine design.
It can also be installed directly in limited spaces previously used for manual deburring operations.
・Optional A-Axis Table Enables Access to the Back Side of Workpieces
Tilting the workpiece enables deburring from the back side and angled directions. Combined with the dual-nozzle system, the machine can access all surfaces of the workpiece.
・Easy Programming with G-Code
No special skills or certifications are required. Facilities familiar with machining centers can introduce the system smoothly.
・ Compact Design for Space-Saving Installation
With a machine width of only 1080 mm, the compact design allows easy integration into existing production lines or replacement of current equipment.
Comparison Between JDM and JCC (Jet Clean Center)
Selecting the right machine according to the application is important.
| | JDM | Conventional machine (JCC) |
| Main application | Deburring only | Primarily Cleaning |
| Target workpiece | Compact | Small to Medium Workpieces |
| Maximum pressure | 70MPa | Approximately 50 MPa |
| Structure | Simple | High performance (high cost) |
| Ease of implementation | High (Low price) | Large initial investment |
“JCC” has a strong track record in cleaning and deburring applications, especially in the automotive industry. However, for small workpieces, it often became over-specified, and the installation cost was a challenge. In particular, for customers considering automation from manual operations, the large initial investment was a major barrier.
In contrast, “JDM” adopts an optimized design specialized for small workpieces. Through extensive space-saving design and cost reduction, it enables smooth and affordable automation from manual operations.

・Small gears (high-volume production / complex shapes)
・Bearing components
・Automotive parts
Verify the Results Through Testing First
“We want to know whether burrs can really be removed from our workpieces.”
“We would like to evaluate whether our manual process can be automated.”
To meet these needs, Sugino Machine also provides evaluation testing services. By testing actual workpieces, customers can verify the effectiveness of the system before implementation.
