Centrifugal Iso-finishing for Additive Manufactured PartsDDaveDavidson
Centrifugal Iso-Finishing is a high-energy, high-quality, high-speed hands-free mechanical method for deburring, finishing and polishing of 3D printed (additive manufactured) parts as well as coventional subtractive manufactured parts. High Centrifugal force is utilized to accelerated process cycle times and make use of smaller dimensioned media to access intricate and complex part shapes. Useful for hand-deburring minimization and for developing low-micro-inch polished surfaces. Centrifugal Iso-Burnishing can be used for developing compressive stress in part surfaces on the order of that achieved by shot peening making parts much more resistant to fatigue failure or fracture. Plateaud or planarized surfaces improve bearing load capacity of cooperating parts with more wear resistance and improved tribological properties.

Turbo abrasive machining tech paper - 2016Dave Davidson
INTRODUCTION: Turbo-Finish technology (also referred to as Turbo-Abrasive Machining) is a dry, high-speed spindle finishing process that utilizes abrasive fluidized bed technology, and high speed part rotation to develop extremely rapid and uniform edge and surface conditioning on aerospace, automotive and industrial parts. Polishing, deburring and edge radiusing are accomplished anywhere that the media can access. This finishing technology can develop isotropic surface finishes s while developing consistent round edges on any exposed sharp edged features.
INTRODUCTION: The Turbo-Finish process (also referred to as Turbo-Abrasive Machining )imparts beneficial compressive residual stress to edges and surfaces. and as all critical features of the part are processed simultaneously, it can produce a stress equilibrium throughout the entire part. One of the signature advantages of the process is that it is capable of producing peening like metal surface improvement effects, while simultaneously developing isotropic surfaces and deburring and edge-contouring sharp edged features This combination of edge and surface effects can help extend part life on components by mitigating crack propagation.

Turbo-Abrasive Machining is an automated mechanical finish method for deburring, edge-contouring and surface finishing complex rotating parts such as those found in the turbine and gear industries
Advance machining processes are used where higher accuracy and surface finish is required. One of them, Abrasive jet machining is a non-traditional machining process in which a high-pressure air stream and abrasive particles impinge on a work surface through a nozzle. Abrasive jet machining (AJM) removes material through the action of a focused beam of abrasive jet directed at the workpiece the resulting erosion can be used for cutting, drilling and debarring etc. With the increase of needs for machining of ceramics, semiconductors, electronic devices and L.C.D., AJM has become a useful technique for micromachining. it is more useful in industries for precision work. Material removal rate during this process affected by different parameters like abrasive particle size, the velocity of abrasive flow rate, gas pressure, standoff distance etc.
GMT started manufacturing lapping & polishing machine in 1971. It was built for in-house use and until then hand lapping process was used for finishing surface plates. Critical parts for our workholding devices required a finishing and buffing machine. There was demand in the market for valve lapping and lapping plates. Since GMT had a captive ferrous foundry, castings for lap plate and lapping machine were easier to source.
Since then GMT has become one of India's largest lapping machine manufacturers and suppliers with over 350 installations throughout India mainly to the valve and pump industry. When a buyer in Japan wanted a super finishing machine for lapping large granite plates, GMT designed and supplied a 3000mm dia flat lapping machine.
Pump manufacturers, electronic industries, valve manufacturers, etc., have found a sure way of obtaining positive sealing.

Turbo-Finish and premature fatigue failure prevention and life extension. Turbo-Finish’s unique ability to produce isotropic surfaces on rotating parts can make them much less susceptible to problems associated with crack propagation. Additionally, the elimination of stress risers, and the generation of round edges are used to help extend component life. Rotating parts can especially benefit from the Turbo-Finish process. Disks and other rotating parts can all benefit from this surface and edge conditioning. Highly finished surfaces also tend to pick up less residual contaminants from operations. and smooth isotropic surfaces generate less turbulent air flow across their surfaces. Additionally, the Turbo-Finish process imparts beneficial compressive residual stress. As critical features of the part are processed simultaneously, it can produce a stress equilibrium throughout the entire part. One of the signature advantages of the process is that it is capable of producing peening like metal surface improvement effects, while simultaneously developing isotropic surfaces and deburring and edge-contouring sharp edged features
Mass media finishing techniques improve part performance and service life, and these processes can be tailored or modified to amplify this effect. Although the ability of these processes to drive down deburring and surface finishing costs when compared to manual procedures is well known and documented, their ability to dramatically effect part performance and service life are not. This facet of edge and surface finishing deserves closer scrutiny and this is also true of larger and more complex parts – only more so

Centrifugal Iso-Finishing Technical article as seen in Products Finishing mag...Dave Davidson
This high-speed, high-intensity mass finishing
method can improve part performance. Centrifugal iso-finishing can be used not only for deburring and edge-contour, but also to
develop surface finish attributes that improve the performance,
surface integrity and service life of components.
A High-Speed, High-Energy Alternative
Centrifugal iso-finishing is a high-speed and high-intensity
mass finishing method in which abrasive or polishing materials are caused to interact with part edges and surfaces
with 10 times the surface pressure of low-energy finishing
methods. What this means, in practical terms, is that it is
possible to produce very refined surface finishes in abbreviated process cycle times. It also means that parts with
complex and detailed geometries can be deburred with a
minimum of manual intervention.

It's the Finish that Counts. Technical Magazine article reprint.Dave Davidson
A conventionally produced surface (turned, milled,
ground, EDM) is typically Gaussian in nature, that is,
the peak and valley distribution is pretty much equal
in height. This type of surface can be very unstable and
unpredictable when wear and load bearing are considered. The images in Figure 1 demonstrate this type of
surface.
There are many ways to produce plateaued surfaces.
They are varied in approach but all have the ability to
control the surface peak characteristics separately for
the valley characteristics. Methods that are used to improve surfaces for performance and increased service life include centrifugal barrel finishing, turbo-abrasive machining (aka Turbo-Finish) and isotropic micro-finishing with vibratory finishing equipment.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Turbo finish brochure
1. Dry operation. Turbo-Finish produces both smoothing
and polished surface effects with an entirely dry opera-
tion. No wet waste effluent is generated.
Horizontal Spindle Operation. Unlike other spindle
methods, the Turbo-Finish method utilizes horizontal
spindles, accommodating several parts or part fixtures
on the same spindle or on multiple processing spindles.
Unique abrasive delivery system (fluidized bed) as-
sures uniform processing of all parts on the spindle.
The abrasive fluidized bed permits high-speed rota-
tional operation. Speeds of 800- 2000 rpm are com-
monly specified
Rapid edge and surface finish development. Unlike
other spindle-finish methods, spindle rotating speeds in
the hundreds and even thousands rpm are possible
because of Turbo-Finish’s unique media delivery sys-
tem for abrasive media.
Economical Tooling and Media. Much of the work-
holding tooling can be made from various plastic mate-
rials and still maintain extended service life.
Smaller diameter parts such as turbo-charger ro-
tors can also be run in multiple spindle equipment with
very short cycle times
The micro-impact of small abrasive particles and the
high velocity of the part rotation produce beneficial
compressive stresses and also improve the surface
integrity and fatigue resistance of many types of critical
components
Turbo-Abrasive Machining (also referred to as Turbo
-Finish) is a mechanical deburring and finishing
method originally developed to automate edge finish-
ing procedures on complex rotating aerospace engine
components. Since its inception this method of utilizing
fluidized abrasive materials has facilitated significant
reductions in the amount of manual intervention re-
quired to deburr large components. Additionally, the
process has also proved to be useful in edge and
surface finishing a wide variety of other non-rotational
components by incorporating these components into
fixturing systems. The advantages of this method go
beyond the simple removal of burrs. The method is
also capable of producing surface conditions at these
critical edge areas that contribute to increased service
life and functionality of parts that are severely stressed
in service. Among these advantages are::
(1) The creation of isotropic surfaces.
(2) The replacement of positively skewed surface
profiles with negative or neutral skews
(3) The development of beneficial compressive
stress.

2. This Model TF-522 Turbo-Abrasive Machining Center is
capable of processing spindle mounted parts in a high-
speed dry finishing process called Turbo-Finish. The fix-
tured parts are processed through fine abrasive and or
when required, polishing grits to deburr, edge-contour and
develop needed surface finishes in an entirely dry pro-
cess, eliminating the need for wet waste treatment and
disposal of an effluent stream common to most other
mass media finishing processes. This machine processes
aerospace disks up to 500mm or 20 inches in diameter.
TF Models are available for processing parts as small as 2
inches (50mm) and as large as 48 inches (1200mm)
Equipment can be engineered to meet your production
deburring and edge finishing requirements. The process
develops isotropic surfaces simultaneously
TAM processing produces superi-
or metal fatigue resistance by
developing a compressive stress
equilibrium in the disk components
Conventional machined surfaces
are converted to isotropic surfaces
by blending in machining marks or
notches that are potential crack
propagation points
Abrasive Material such as Alumi-
num Oxide, Zirconium Oxide are
used.
Polishing and Micro-Finishing
media such as soft granulates can
develop lower micro-inch surfaces
and develop refined reflective
surfaces to assist visual inspection
Surface roughness pattern or
texture orientation to vector
Various abrasive grits are used
Multiple processes on the same
part can used successively finer
abrasive materials to achieve very
fine edge and surface finishes
when required
COLD PROCESSING
TF is a cold process, it causes no
structural phase transformation on
the surface. The TF technology
increases the service life from
30% to 100%, depending of the
part material (nickel alloy, stain-
less steel, titanium, etc.)
• Numerous advantages when compared with other mechanical finishing technolo-
gies
• Automation and mechanization of deburring for complex rotating parts. Edge
contour, surface-finishing improvement and compressive stresses developed on
parts SIMULTANEOUSLY
• Manual processes consuming many hours are minimized andreduced to automated
machining cycles of only a few minutes
• High flow of dry abrasive particles allows penetration of an abrasive action on
many difficult to access part areas
• Low energy consumption (unlike blasting, peening or other pressure or impact
processes)
• Low consumables cost. The current track record indicates that abrasive costs per
disk are approximately $USD 0.15 per disk for 10 inch disks (250mm), and $USD
0.50 for 20 inch disks (500mm)
• TF technology, in addition to producing a good radius on the feature can create an
isotropic surface finish. The isotropic surface effect minimizes potential crack propa-
gation points and improves stress equilibrium among part features. All common
machining and manual finishing methods produce non isotropic but linear character-
istics. This contributes to tension concentration of the sharp surface peaks and
easier crack propagation
• Rapid simple operation well suited to single piece continuous flow and cellular
operations
Uniformity/Consistency: Unlike single point of contact methods (manual, robotic, chamfering by milling) TF produces edge
contour on part features simultaneously and identically. Not only are beneficial compressive stresses imparted to the fea-
tures, but as part features are treated identically, an overall stress equilibrium is set in the
