Significantly reduced
machining start-up times!
representative point instruction, automatic path generation, and simple path correction significantly reduce machining start-up times. Machining paths that follow the material are easily created, eliminating the need for repeated reteaching and CAD/CAM data modification, as is needed with robots and machining centers.

outsourcing costs!
Creating programs for deburring with robots is time-consuming and often outsourced, meaning variable-mix, variable-volume deburring incurs costs each time a program has to be created. However, with the Deburring Center DG-1, everything is completed in-house, eliminating at once the outsourcing costs that are incurred each time.

Plus
Dependable deburring
In contrast to the robot, which has a floating spindle, the Deburring Center DG-1 features a BT15 rigid spindle, allowing it to deburr as planned and remove burrs more accurately than the robot.

With machining centers, data is created with CAD/CAM, but because differences occur between the data and the actual parts, corrections have to be made numerous times, resulting in longer machining start-up times. For example, the machining start-up person-hours for a machining center is 8 hours per day x 3 days = 24 hours. On the other hand, the Deburring Center DG-1 eliminates all CAD/CAM program corrections, reducing the start-up time to 8 hours per day x 1 day = 8 hours, a reduction of 16 hours.

Key point ❶
Significantly reduced machining

person-hours.
Generates
machining paths quickly
and easily.
Comes with easy operations including representative point instruction and intuitive path correction, as well as Brother's unique machining start-up functions such as automatic machining path generation and automatic program conversion. Short machining start-up times enable the deburring machining process for variable-mix, variable-volume production—conventionally performed by hand—to be mechanized.
-
STEP1
Teaching
representative
pointsTeaching representative points is conducted by allowing the tool to contact the master workpiece*1. The number of teaching points is less than robots, and there is no need to define straight lines or arcs. For a gentle curve, a machining path can be created automatically by teaching only the start and end points.
*1. Please prepare a cleanly deburred workpiece as a master workpiece.
-
STEP2
Automatic
machining path
creationThe machining path is created automatically by profiling the master workpiece based on the representative points that have been taught. This requires less correction of the path than robots or machining centers.
-
STEP3
Path correction
by intuitive
operationThe touch panel can be used to instruct correction points, and the machining path and conditions can be corrected by intuitive operation. Since correction is possible for each teaching point or area, reteaching, such as required for robots, is not necessary.
-
STEP4
Automatic
machining
program conversionAutomatically converts the machining path and condition data into a machining program. No programming expertise is required, enabling easy creation of machining programs. Furthermore, advanced programming with macro programs is also possible by editing the automatically created machining program.
Key point ❷
Quick and easy deburring
via easy,
game-like operations
Teaching controllers are used to provide game-like operations and improve the efficiency of representative point instruction. The low-torque function also reduces the risk of machine breakage in the event of an instruction error.
Teaching controller
(optional)
Moving direction and speed can be intuitively manipulated to improve the efficiency of teaching representative points.
Function that reduces risks of
machine breakage
in the event of
teaching mistakes*1
A low torque function is provided to reduce the machine’s travel speed and force.
Even if teaching mistakes are made during teaching of representative points or automatic path creation is affected by teaching mistakes, the machine detects abnormal contact and stops. This function is enabled by pressing the Low Torque key on the operation panel.
*1. This function does not prevent breakage in all collision modes.
Key point ❸
Space- and energy-saving
The Deburring Center DG-1 features a space-saving design with a required floor space of just 998 x 1,656 mm. It is compact enough to be installed even in small and medium-sized factories. And with its low energy consumption, the Deburring Center DG-1 also helps achieve carbon neutrality.

Key point ❹
The large jig area is
able to handle variable-mix,
variable-volume machining
In variable-mix variable-volume production, jig setup changes occur each time the parts to be machined change. But the large jig area enables highly flexible jig design and can accommodate a wide range of machining operations.
Jig area
Controlled by four axes, including the tilt axis (A axis) of the roller gear cam structure. Ample jig area is secured, enabling highly flexible jig design. An A-axis table (optional) is available to configure the trunnion jig between the faceplate of the tilt axis and the support.
Jig mounting example
Waste-free machine configuration enables highly flexible jig design, making it easier to mount jigs for large workpieces or jigs for multi-part machining.
