Achieving Smooth, Polished Finishes with Precision
At TOLEDO FAB METAL, we specialize in Centrifugal Tumbling Services, an advanced technique designed to provide a consistent, smooth, and polished finish for metal components. Centrifugal tumbling is ideal for a variety of industries that require high-quality surface finishes, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial manufacturing. With our state-of-the-art equipment and expertise, we ensure that your parts are perfectly finished to meet the highest standards.

What is Centrifugal Tumbling?
Centrifugal tumbling, also known as centrifugal barrel finishing, is a mass finishing process that uses a rotating drum or barrel to tumble parts along with abrasive media. The process relies on centrifugal force, which accelerates the tumbling action, creating friction between the parts and the media. This results in the gradual smoothing, polishing, and de-burring of metal components.
The centrifugal force applied during the tumbling process is much stronger than traditional vibratory finishing methods, allowing for faster results with superior consistency. It's particularly effective for parts with complex geometries and intricate details.

Loading the Barrel: Your parts are loaded into a cylindrical barrel along with the selected abrasive media (such as ceramic, plastic, or steel). The media helps abrade the parts' surfaces to remove imperfections and smooth rough edges.
Rotation and Tumbling: The barrel is rotated at high speed, creating a centrifugal force that accelerates the tumbling action. This allows the parts and abrasive media to collide, polishing and smoothing the surface of the parts.
Adjustable Tumbling Parameters: We can adjust parameters such as the type of media used, the tumbling time, and the barrel speed to achieve the desired finish for your parts, whether it’s a smooth satin or highly polished look.
