ADF Drag Finishing Machine

The ADF Series Drag Finishing Machine is a state-of-the-art solution for achieving perfect edge rounding, smoothing, or mirror finishes efficiently. This innovative machine combines advanced technology with cost-effectiveness, ensuring precision, reliability, and exceptional quality.

Drag Finishing is a high-energy surface finishing process where components are securely clamped to the spindle’s holders and rapidly dragged through a specially designed media. This motion generates intense friction, enabling precise deburring, edge rounding, smoothing, and polishing in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods. Drag Finishing ensures minimal part-on-part contact, preventing damage and achieving uniform, high-quality finishes.
