Metal Sanding and Deburring Machines

MTS metal sanding and deburring machines are built for surface sanding, deburring, polishing, brushing and finishing flat metal plates and components, with wet or dry configurations available for production workshops.

Industrial Metal Sanders for Deburring, Grinding & Surface Finishing

The MTS series combines broad engineering capability with configurable sanding and brushing options for stainless steel, aluminium, aluminium alloy, titanium, laminated steel, iron, copper and other metal plate. It can also process hardware, stampings, castings and sheet-metal parts requiring flat sanding, rust removal, deburring or the removal of welding and surface marks.

For manufacturers looking for a production sander for metal, the MTS range provides 600 mm, 900 mm and 1300 mm working widths, with double, triple and four-roller configurations. Wet and dry versions, inverter-controlled feed and sanding speed, roller conveyors and specialised brush options can be considered according to the application.

What Can an MTS Metal Deburring Machine Do?

The machine can be configured for several stages of flat metal preparation and finishing. The result depends on the sanding-head arrangement, abrasive selection, brush type and process settings chosen for the material.

Deburring & Edge Treatment

Remove burrs from flat sheet-metal parts, stampings, hardware and cut components before assembly, coating or further finishing.

Surface Sanding & Grinding

Sand and grind flat metal plates to remove surface marks, prepare material for later processes or create a more consistent face.

Polishing & Brushed Finishes

Produce polished, drawn, satin, No. 3, No. 4 or hairline-style finishes where the selected abrasive and brush configuration suits the material.

Rust & Weld-Mark Removal

Remove rust, weld marks and other surface imperfections from suitable flat metal parts as part of a controlled finishing process.

Sheet Metal Deburring Machine for Production Workshops

The MTS is intended for flat metal processing rather than pipe, gear, vibratory or robotic deburring. A conveyor moves the workpiece through the selected sanding and brush units, making it suitable for repeatable production work on panels and finished flat components.

Suitable materials can include:

  • Stainless steel plate and components
  • Aluminium and aluminium alloy plate
  • Titanium and laminated steel
  • Iron, mild steel and copper
  • Hardware, stampings and castings
  • Flat sheet-metal parts and fabricated components

MTS Metal Sander Configurations

The MTS range can be configured around working width, the number of sanding heads and whether the process is wet or dry. Final selection should be based on the material, finish and throughput required.

Working Widths

Choose the machine width around the maximum panel or component size being processed.

  • 600 mm working width
  • 900 mm working width
  • 1300 mm working width

Sanding-Head Arrangements

Multiple roller arrangements allow the machine to be configured for different sanding and finishing sequences.

  • Double-roller configurations
  • Triple-roller configurations
  • Four-roller configurations

Process Options

Optional equipment can be selected according to the sanding application and workshop process.

  • Wet or dry sanding system
  • Inverter-controlled feed and sanding speed
  • Brush options to suit the finish
  • Roller conveyor table
  • Wet sanding circulation system

Confirmed MTS Features

The following functions and options are drawn from the supplied manufacturer information. Exact configuration should be confirmed for the machine being quoted.

Area Standard Feature or Available Option Purpose
Controls Digital readout control panel Provides operators with machine information and adjustment access.
Feed Variable feed motor Allows the workpiece feed to be matched more closely to the material and finish.
Main motor Disc brakes and load meter Supports controlled stopping and allows the operator to monitor motor loading.
Sanding belt Conveyor tracking and quick-release belt system Supports belt alignment, maintenance and faster belt changes.
Elevation Four lifting poles Supports stable machine-height adjustment.
Optional controls Frequency inverter for feed and sanding speed Allows adjustable speeds for different metal types and finishing processes.
Optional wet system Water tank devices and circulation system Supports wet sanding and helps clean the panel surface during processing.

Automatic Stop & Operator Safety Features

The MTS incorporates monitoring and emergency-stop functions intended to protect the operator and machine when the sanding belt or air supply is not operating correctly.

Sanding Belt Tracking

Limit switches are fitted on both sides of the sanding belt to help prevent it running away from the correct track.

Automatic Machine Stop

The machine is designed to stop when there is no air supply, no sanding belt fitted or the sanding belt becomes loose.

Belt-Break Braking

If the sanding belt breaks during operation, the machine is designed to brake immediately to protect the operator and equipment.

Emergency Controls

An infeed emergency brake, emergency stop bar and emergency stop button provide accessible ways for the operator to stop the machine.

Wet or Dry Metal Sanding Systems

MTS machines can be configured for wet or dry processing. The correct system depends on the material, required finish, heat generated during sanding and the workshop's extraction or water-management requirements.

Dry Metal Sanding

Dry configurations suit many general sanding, deburring and brushing processes. Appropriate extraction and housekeeping should be planned around the metal and abrasive being used.

  • General sanding and deburring
  • Brushing and surface preparation
  • Requires suitable extraction for the application
  • Simpler process where a wet system is not required

Wet Metal Sanding

Wet configurations can be supplied with a circulation system and water tank devices at the infeed and outfeed to support the process and help keep the panel surface clean.

  • Optional water circulation system
  • Infeed and outfeed water tank devices
  • Useful where the selected process benefits from wet sanding
  • Requires appropriate water management and maintenance

Brush Options for Metal Finishing

Brush selection influences the deburring, cleaning and surface-finishing result. The supplied MTS information lists the following brush types.

Sand Cloth Brush
Disc Brush
Nylon Brush
Wire Brush
Non-Woven Brush
Fibre Brush

Frequently asked questions

Metal Sanding and Deburring Machine FAQs

Answers to common questions about industrial metal sanding, sheet-metal deburring and production finishing.

What is a metal deburring machine?

A metal deburring machine removes raised burrs and sharp remnants left after cutting, punching, stamping or fabrication. The MTS is a conveyor-fed machine for flat metal panels and components and can be configured with sanding and brush units for deburring and surface finishing.

What metals can the MTS process?

The supplier lists stainless steel, aluminium, aluminium alloy, titanium, laminated steel, iron and copper. Final abrasive, brush and machine settings should be selected around the particular material and required finish.

Is the MTS a sheet metal deburring machine?

Yes. It is intended for flat metal plate and sheet-metal parts, including hardware, stampings, castings and fabricated flat components. It is not a pipe, gear, vibratory or robotic deburring machine.

Can the machine polish and brush metal as well as deburr it?

Yes. Depending on the selected heads, abrasives and brushes, the MTS can be used for surface grinding, polishing, drawing and brushed finishes, including satin, No. 3, No. 4 and hairline-style finishes where the process is appropriate.

What working widths are available?

The MTS range is available in 600 mm, 900 mm and 1300 mm working widths. The correct size depends on the maximum panel or component width that needs to pass through the machine.

Should I choose a wet or dry metal sander?

The right choice depends on the metal, abrasive process, heat generated, required finish and workshop setup. Wet systems can be supplied with water tanks and circulation, while dry systems require suitable extraction and housekeeping for the application.

What is the best sander for metal production work?

The best sander for metal is the one configured around the material, workpiece size, desired finish and output. Working width, number of sanding units, brush selection, feed control and wet or dry processing should all be considered before choosing a machine.
