"There have been hundreds of installations and continued refinement of our TEM equipment and process," says Bruno Boutantin, global marketing manager at Kennametal Extrude Hone. "One factor remains constant: TEM is a rapid, low-cost, high-production process that can process a million or more parts per year by a single machine."

"The TEM process is particularly appropriate for high-volume applications where conventional deburring departments struggle to keep pace," Umasankar agrees. "lt instantaneously cleanup  a large number of intersecting holes, threads and hard-to-reach areas in a flash, literally in 20 milliseconds. Its ability to fire multiple components at the same time increases its capacity and cost-effectiveness enormously. Any other process, including high-pressure water jet, will not provide this value."

Combining vast experience gathered over more than five decades with worldwide application knowhow, Kennametal Extrude Hone offers proven solutions to many companies working in most demanding environments. Technical Centers and Centers of Excellence ensure close customer association in all critical steps — from the early design phases by producing small batches of components for prototyping through supporting the ramping stage in our contract shops prior to the final delivery of state-of-the-art equipment.
