In India, the rapid expansion of the automotive and motorcycle industries has significantly increased the demand for higher machining precision in engine parts and aluminum cast components. Among these processes, deburring plays a critical role in ensuring product quality and safety. However, in the Indian market, deburring is still predominantly performed manually, often relying heavily on operator skill. This has led to challenges such as inconsistent quality, reduced productivity, and labor shortages. Especially for critical safety components like engine parts, even minute residual burrs can cause serious defects. As a result, “deburring automation,” “consistent quality,” and “labor saving” have become key priorities moving forward.

High-Quality Deburring Tool with Floating Mechanism: “BARRIQUAN”

To address these challenges, Sugino Machine offers the “BARRIQUAN,” deburring tool equipped with a floating mechanism. The floating mechanism is a technology that allows the tool to follow the shape of the workpiece while applying a constant pressure during processing. This prevents overcutting and missed burrs, achieving both high-quality and stable deburring. Additionally, it can absorb robot path errors and variations in workpieces, making it highly compatible with robotic deburring and easy to integrate into automated production lines. India ranks No.1 among Sugino Machine’s overseas markets (excluding Japan) in terms of BARRIQUAN sales, and its effectiveness in delivering high-quality deburring through floating mechanisms is widely recognized, particularly in the automotive and motorcycle industries.

BARRIQUAN is also available in multiple lineups, allowing optimal tool selection based on workpiece shape and burr type.

＜Main BARRIQUAN Lineup＞
・BRQ-TX01 (Telescopic type / For machining centers)
└ Suitable for general-purpose deburring and existing equipment

・BRQ-EZ01 (Telescopic type / Robot-compatible)
└ Ideal for edge burrs and automation applications

・BRQ-EL01 (Tilting type)
└ Suitable for surface and casting burrs

・Twin spindle configuration (RDM-S)
└ Enables simultaneous deburring of edges and surfaces

This lineup enables “deburring,” “automation,” and “labor saving,” while providing flexibility to handle a wide range of workpieces.

Benefits of Automation and Labor Saving through Robotic Deburring

By automating the deburring process with robots, the following benefits can be achieved:
・Stable processing with reduced quality variation → Fewer defects
・Reduced dependence on skilled workers → Lower labor risk
・Shortened processing time → Improved productivity
・Reduced hazardous manual work → Enhanced safety

In India, while the labor force is abundant, there is a shortage of skilled workers and high workforce mobility. This makes quality stabilization and reduced reliance on human skills major challenges in manufacturing. Investment in automation and labor-saving solutions directly enhances competitiveness.

Features of the Robot Deburring Cell “RDM-S” | Floating Mechanism × Automation

Sugino Machine’s robot deburring cell “RDM-S” is an innovative solution that integrates the deburring process into a single unit. In the Indian market, such integrated robotic deburring systems are still rare, offering both ease of implementation and high performance.

It's key feature is the integration of two different floating mechanisms in a single unit. An axial floating mechanism suitable for edge burrs, and a radial floating mechanism for surfaces and casting burrs—enabling versatile deburring applications.

Furthermore, the combination of a twin spindle configuration and an index table allow efficient deburring from all directions, achieving multi-face machining and improved productivity in a compact footprint. Processes that previously required multiple steps can now be completed with a single unit, improving productivity while consolidating equipment.

In addition, the system is equipped with a coolant-based chip removal mechanism, preventing machining defects and downtime caused by chip accumulation. This ensures stable operation and reduces maintenance workload.

Strengthening the Competitiveness of Indian Manufacturing through Deburring Automation

RDM-S is a comprehensive solution that integrates “high-quality deburring,” “automation,” “labor saving,” and “floating mechanism.” It also offers excellent operability, making it easy to use even for companies introducing robots for the first time, addressing challenges such as workforce shortages and training costs in the Indian market. Sugino Machine India provides processing tests tailored to customer workpieces and proposes optimal robotic deburring solutions. Beyond simply supplying equipment, the company’s strength lies in its problem-solving approach to automation.
