MultiTool ensure that sheet metal parts come out
of the punching machine burr-free. This means
that reworking in a separate manual stage, which
was often necessary, is no longer needed. For
coated sheets and formed parts, this significantly
reduces throughput times. Both tools have some-
thing in common: they displace the burr and
chamfer the edges (about 0.1 mm).
“The roller deburring tool uses a specially
formed embossing roll for long edges and con-
tours with a radius of more than 20mm,” Trumpf
told ISMR. “The three-way deburring MultiTool is
suited to handle smaller radii, intricate geometries
and corners in a single stroke or in nibble mode.
Various embossing contours take over this task as
