Description

The present invention relates to a deburring method for a ceramic core such as a ferrite core, and more particularly to a method for removing a burr generated in a gap in a flange portion of a ceramic core.

As described in Patent Document 1, a core used for a chip coil or the like is formed into a shape having flanges at both ends of a core part by press molding ceramic powder, and then fired. However, at the time of press molding, the raw material enters a gap formed between the dies (die and punch), which becomes a burr and is generated as a part of the molded body. Since the tip of the punch and the die wear out in proportion to the number of moldings, the size of the burr increases.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a core 1 manufactured by powder press molding. The core 1 has flange portions 3 and 3 at both ends of the core portion 2. The burr 4 is likely to be generated inside the flange portions 3 and 3, particularly near the boundary portion between the core portion 2 and the flange portion 3.

In order to remove burrs, it is usual to put a core, water, a deburring medium, etc. into a rotating pot and perform barrel polishing. As the medium, a high-strength material such as an alumina ball is used. However, barrel polishing may cause damage to the core due to collision with the media and cause cracks, chips, and cracks. In particular, since the core after molding (before firing) has low strength, it is easily damaged by barrel polishing.

Furthermore, barrel polishing is effective for rounding the ridgeline and corner of the core and making the surface roughness uniform, but is not effective for removing burrs generated inside the flange. Patent Document 1 describes an example in which a ceramic ball having a diameter of 3 mm to 5 mm is used as a medium. However, in the case where the core has a gap narrower than the diameter of the media, the media may enter between the collars. It is not possible to remove the burrs generated inside the buttock. On the other hand, when a small-sized medium that enters the gap between the buttocks is used, the medium itself becomes light, so that sufficient kinetic energy cannot be secured and burrs cannot be removed.

The objective of this invention is providing the deburring method and deburring apparatus of a ceramic core which can remove the burr | flash which generate | occur | produced inside the collar part efficiently.

A deburring method for a ceramic core according to the present invention is a method of removing burrs generated inside a flange in a ceramic core formed into a shape having flanges at both ends of a core by press molding ceramic powder. It is. This method comprises the steps of preparing a cutting tool that is narrower than the gap between the flanges of the ceramic core and extending in a direction parallel to the flange, and the cutting tool is inserted into the gap between the flanges and the cutting tool contacts the burr. The step of disposing the ceramic core on the cutting tool and the step of causing a relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the cutting tool between the ceramic core and the cutting tool to remove the burrs by the cutting tool.

The deburring device for a ceramic core according to the present invention is a device that removes burrs generated inside a collar part in a ceramic core formed into a shape having collar parts at both ends of a core part by press molding ceramic powder. It is. This device is a cutting tool that extends in a straight line and is narrower than the gap between the flanges, and a cutting tool that can be inserted into the gap between the flanges, and a ceramic core for sliding the burr with the cutting tool. Moving means for causing a relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the cutting tool between the cutting tool and the cutting tool.

When the ceramic powder is press-molded, the raw material enters a gap formed between the molds, and this becomes a burr and is produced as a part of the molded body (ceramic core). Of the burrs, it is difficult to remove burrs that are generated inside the buttock. Therefore, first, a cutting tool that is narrower than the gap between the flange portions of the ceramic core and extends in a direction parallel to the flange portion is prepared. Next, the ceramic core is placed on the cutting tool such that the cutting tool is inserted into the gap between the collars and the cutting tool contacts the burr. In this state, if relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the cutting tool is caused between the ceramic core and the cutting tool, the burrs are removed by friction with the cutting tool. In this way, burrs generated inside the collar can be efficiently removed.

In the present invention, since the cutting tool and the burr of the ceramic core frictionally slide, a strong removal force can be applied to the burr, and even a burr having a thickness can be removed. Further, when the ceramic core is moved relative to the cutting tool without chucking (unconstrained), burrs can be effectively removed without applying an excessive load to the ceramic core. When the ceramic core is chucked (restrained) and moved relative to the cutting tool, high strength burrs can be effectively removed. The direction of the ceramic core guided on the cutting tool is preferably guided so that the gap with burrs faces downward. That is, the burr comes into contact with the cutting tool in a direction substantially perpendicular to the cutting tool. When the ceramic core is guided onto the cutting tool so that the gap with burr is downward, the cutting tool and the burr of the ceramic core are in contact with each other due to the weight of the ceramic core, so that excessive force is not applied to the ceramic core. .

The “ceramic core” in the present invention is not limited to a ceramic core before firing, but may be a ceramic core after firing. Since the ceramic core before firing is softer than after firing, the time required for deburring can be shortened, the life of the cutting tool is prolonged, and the productivity is improved. On the other hand, since the ceramic core before firing is soft, if a large load is applied, not only burrs but also the inner surface of the collar and the core may be damaged. When the ceramic core is moved relative to the cutting tool without a chuck, burrs can be removed without damaging the core before firing. If deburring is performed before firing and the ceramic core after deburring is fired, a high quality core can be produced. On the other hand, the core after firing or the core having high strength even before firing may be moved relative to the cutting tool in a chucked (restrained) state. The shape of the collar portion may be a quadrangle, a circle, or other shapes, and the shape of the core portion may be a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a cylindrical shape, or a shape other than that. The material of the ceramic core is not limited to ferrite but can be used.

As the cutting tool, a long tool such as a wire saw, a blade saw, or a band saw can be used. Among these, a wire saw is desirable. The wire saw is made by fixing abrasive grains to a metal wire, and can secure strength even if the wire diameter is thin. Therefore, the wire saw can be easily applied to a small ceramic core having a gap of 1 mm or less, for example. Since the burr powder falls along the peripheral surface of the wire saw, cleaning is easy. If the wire saw is stretched with tension, burrs of the plurality of ceramic cores can be removed simultaneously by arranging the plurality of ceramic cores on the wire saw. Since an appropriate space can be opened below the wire saw, burr powder is less likely to accumulate and maintenance is facilitated. The wire saw is not limited to one in which abrasive grains are fixed to a metal wire, but can also be used in which a non-metallic wire has abrasive grains attached thereto or a wire having a cutting portion on the outer peripheral surface.

You may make it give a vibration with respect to a cutting tool. The amplitude of vibration may be smaller or larger than the dimension of the ceramic core. When vibration is applied to the cutting tool, the burr can be removed without applying a large load to the ceramic core by repeating contact and separation between the cutting tool and the burr. The vibration direction may be a vertical direction, an axial direction, or an oblique direction. By optimizing the amplitude and frequency of vibration, it is possible to give the optimum vibration for deburring. For example, when an axial vibration is applied to the cutting tool, the cutting tool vibrates in a direction orthogonal to the burr, so that the burr can be effectively removed and the ceramic core can be prevented from jumping. Further, when vibration in an oblique direction is given to the axial direction of the cutting tool, the ceramic core can be moved in the axial direction of the cutting tool on the same principle as the linear feeder.

The guide member extending in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the cutting tool slidably guides the outer surface or upper surface of the flange portion of the ceramic core, and allows relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the cutting tool between the ceramic core and the cutting tool. It is desirable to generate it. That is, by introducing the ceramic core onto the cutting tool, the ceramic core is slidably guided by the guide member on the outer surface or upper surface of the collar portion, so the ceramic core is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the cutting tool. It can be prevented from tilting and the posture is stabilized. Therefore, burrs can be effectively removed.

You may make it move a ceramic core to the longitudinal direction of a cutting tool by pushing the rear surface of the collar part of a ceramic core with the operation member which translates with respect to the longitudinal direction of a cutting tool. In this case, the ceramic core is moved while pushing against the frictional resistance against the cutting tool, so a strong removal force can be applied to the burr, and the burr is removed while keeping the core posture stable. It becomes possible to do. For example, a continuous conveyance body (for example, a belt conveyor) in which a plurality of operation members are attached at predetermined intervals in the length direction is provided, and a plurality of ceramic cores are formed by individually pressing a collar portion of the ceramic core with each operation member. It can be moved along the cutting tool. Since the position between the ceramic cores can be secured by the operation member, even when a large number of ceramic cores are flowed on the cutting tool, they can be transported in an orderly manner.

The shape of the operation member can be arbitrarily selected. For example, the operation member may have a portion that supports the rear surface and the upper surface of the flange portion of the ceramic core, or may have a portion that supports the rear surface of the flange portion of the ceramic core and the outer surface of one of the flange portions. Moreover, you may have a part which supports the rear surface and upper surface of the collar part of a ceramic core, and the outer surface of one collar part. Further, the operation member may have a shape including a portion supporting the rear surface and both side surfaces of the collar portion of the ceramic core. For example, a window hole may be formed in the belt-shaped member, a ceramic core may be inserted into the window hole, and the belt-shaped member may be moved relative to the cutting tool in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the operation member may include a portion that sandwiches the rear surface and the front surface of the collar portion of the ceramic core, or may include a magnet that magnetically attracts the ceramic core (in the case of a magnetic body). That is, the ceramic core may be moved relative to the cutting tool while chucking.

As described above, according to the present invention, the ceramic core is disposed on the cutting tool, and the ceramic core is relatively moved in the longitudinal direction of the cutting tool. In addition, a strong removal force can be applied to the burrs. Therefore, even a thick burr can be removed, and a high-quality ceramic core can be manufactured.

-1st Example-
2 and 3 show a first embodiment of a deburring device according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the deburring device 10 of this embodiment is used to remove the burrs 4 generated inside the flange portions 3 and 3 in the press-molded and pre-magnetized ceramic core 1. .

The deburring device 10 includes a wire saw 20 that is an example of a cutting tool. The wire saw 20 is, for example, a metal wire electrodeposited with abrasive grains such as diamond, and its diameter is smaller than the width of the gap 3 of the flange 3 of the ceramic core 1 (desirably, 1 of the width of the gap of the flange). / 2 or less) is set. Both ends of the wire saw 20 are connected to a vibration device 21 that applies vibration in the axial direction to the wire saw 20. The intermediate portion of the wire saw 20 is guided to the conveyance path of the ceramic core 1 by a plurality of guide pulleys 22. A tensioner 23 that applies a predetermined tension to the wire saw 20 may be provided. The vibration device 21 that applies vibration to the wire saw 20 is for enhancing the deburring effect of the wire saw 20 and is provided as necessary.

Above the wire saw 20, a belt conveyor 30 is disposed with a space therebetween. That is, the belt conveyor 30 is attached to an endless belt (an example of a continuous conveyance body) 31, a pulley 32 that circulates and drives the belt 31, and an outer peripheral surface of the belt 31 at predetermined intervals in the length direction. And a plurality of operation members 33. The pulley 32 is continuously driven in the direction of the arrow by a motor (not shown). Since the lower surface portion of the belt 31 is arranged in parallel with the wire saw 20, the operation member 33 can move in parallel with the wire saw 20. In addition, it is desirable that the lower end of the operation member 33 is set higher than the wire saw 20 so as not to contact the wire saw 20, but the operation member 33 may be in contact. Further, it is desirable that the operation member 33 is set to have a width dimension such that the movement is not restricted by the left and right guide walls 11 and 12. The operation member 33 can move the ceramic core 1 along the wire saw 20 by pushing the rear surface of the ceramic core 1 placed on the wire saw 20, that is, the rear surface of the flange 3. In addition, the operation member 33 can be used as a partition for feeding the ceramic core 1 one by one or plural by appropriately setting the interval between the adjacent operation members 33. When the ceramic core 1 is formed of a magnetic material such as a ferrite core, the operation member 33 may incorporate a magnet. In this case, since the operation member 33 can adsorb the rear surface of the ceramic core 1, it is possible to restrict the ceramic core 1 from rotating on the wire saw 20.

A pair of guide walls 11, 12 (see FIG. 3) is installed along the conveyance path of the ceramic core 1, and the wire saw 20 is inserted between the guide walls 11, 12. The interval W between the guide walls 11 and 12 is set to be slightly larger than the thickness d of the ceramic core 1 (distance of the outer surface of the flange portion 3). Since the inner surfaces of the guide walls 11 and 12 are smooth, the outer surface of the flange portion 3 of the ceramic core 1 contacts the guide walls 11 and 12 slidably. The left and right positions and inclinations of the ceramic core 1 are regulated by the guide walls 11 and 12, that is, the ceramic core 1 is slidable in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG.

In FIG. 2, the lengths of the wire saw 20 and the belt conveyor 30 are described short for the purpose of explaining the principle, but in actuality, the wire saw 20 and the belt conveyor 30 are configured by long members extending in the left-right direction. The sizes and shapes of the guide walls 11 and 12 in FIG. 3 are merely examples, and can be arbitrarily set.

The operation of the deburring device 1 having the above configuration will be described. First, the press-molded ceramic core 1 is supplied to the starting end of the wire saw 20 (upper left portion in FIG. 2). At this time, the ceramic core 1 is supplied so that the burr 4 faces downward, that is, the burr 4 comes into contact with the wire saw 20. When the core part 2 of the ceramic core 1 is placed on the wire saw 20, the left and right positions and inclinations of the ceramic core 1 are regulated by the guide walls 11 and 12, and are held in an upright posture. When the belt conveyor 30 is driven in the arrow direction in FIG. 2 in this state, the ceramic core 1 is pushed rightward in FIG. 2 by the operation member 33 of the belt conveyor 30 and passes over the wire saw 20 stretched horizontally. The burr 4 is removed.

A frictional force (drag generated by deburring) acts between the ceramic core 1 and the wire saw 20, but the ceramic core 1 is pressed by the operation member 33 of the belt conveyor 30, so that it is in frictional sliding contact with the wire saw 20 and has a thickness. Even the burr 4 you have can be removed. Since the ceramic core 1 is conveyed without chucking (unconstrained), the burr 4 can be removed without applying an excessive load to the ceramic core 1. In particular, when vibration is applied to the wire saw 20, the ceramic core 1 and the wire saw 20 are repeatedly contacted and separated by vibration received from the wire saw 20, and the ceramic core 1 is conveyed without rotating on the wire saw 20. Further, when axial vibration is applied to the wire saw 20 by the vibration device 21, the wire saw 20 reciprocates in the orthogonal direction with respect to the burr 4, and the deburring effect can be enhanced.

In the deburring device 10 shown in FIG. 2, only the downward burrs 4 of the ceramic core 1 are removed. In order to remove the upward burrs 4 of the ceramic core 1, the ceramic core 1 from which the downward burrs are removed may be turned upside down and supplied again to the deburring device 10 with the burrs 4 facing downward. In this way, the burrs 4 are removed in the same manner as described above, and finally the ceramic core 1 without burrs can be obtained.

-Second Example-
In the said Example, although the operation member 33 provided in the belt conveyor 30 showed the example which presses the rear surface of the ceramic core 1, the other example of an operation member is shown in FIG. FIG. 4A shows an example in which an operation member 34 having a U-shaped cross section is placed over the ceramic core 1. In this case, the rear wall portion 34 a of the operation member 34 pushes the rear surface of the flange portion 3 of the ceramic core 1, and the center portion 34 b regulates the position of the upper surface of the ceramic core 1. The front wall 34c is opposed to the front surface of the ceramic core 1 with a gap. This example is the same as the first embodiment in that the rear wall portion 34a of the operation member 34 presses the rear surface of the ceramic core 1, but an upper wall portion 34b that regulates the position of the upper surface of the ceramic core 1 is provided. Therefore, the floating of the ceramic core 1 can be regulated, and even when the ceramic core 1 tries to rotate on the wire saw 20, the rotation can be regulated. Furthermore, since the front wall portion 34a is provided, the rotation of the ceramic core 1 can also be restricted by the front wall portion 34a. Also in this case, the left and right sides of the ceramic core 1 are slidably guided by guide walls (not shown) as in the first embodiment. When the ceramic core 1 is formed of a magnetic material such as a ferrite core, the operation member 34 may incorporate a magnet.

FIG. 4B is a modification of FIG. 4A in which an operation member 35 having an L-shaped cross section is provided. The rear wall portion 35a of the operation member 35 pushes the rear surface of the flange portion 3 of the ceramic core 1, and the upper wall portion 35b regulates the position of the upper surface of the ceramic core 1. The function of the upper wall portion 35 b is to restrict the floating of the ceramic core 1 and to restrict the ceramic core 1 from rotating on the wire saw 20.

-Third Example-
(A) of FIG. 5 is provided with a pair of operation members 36 a and 36 b that sandwich the front surface and the rear surface of the ceramic core 1. These operating members 36a and 36b are attached to moving means such as a belt conveyor 30 that moves in parallel with the wire saw 20 as in the first embodiment. In this case, since the ceramic core 1 is chucked by the operation members 36a and 36b, the ceramic core 1 can be stabilized in a posture in which the burr 4 and the wire saw 20 are in reliable contact.

FIG. 5B is a modification of FIG. 5A, and includes a pair of operation members 37a and 37b that sandwich the front surface and the rear surface of the ceramic core 1, and the operation member 37b that supports the rear surface is made of ceramic. It is formed in an L shape in side view so as to support the upper surface of the core 1.

-Fourth embodiment-
FIG. 6 is another example of the moving mechanism of the ceramic core 1. In this embodiment, the operation member 38 is formed to support the rear surface, the upper surface, and one side surface of the ceramic core 1. That is, the operation member 38 is provided with a rear wall portion 38a, an upper wall portion 38b, and a horizontal wall portion 38c. The left and right inclination of the ceramic core 1 is regulated by the lateral wall portion 38 c of the operation member 38 and the guide wall 12.

-Fifth embodiment-
FIG. 7 shows still another example of the moving mechanism. In this embodiment, a pair of guide walls 11, 12 are provided on both the left and right sides of the wire saw 20, and an operation member 39 that pushes the rear surface of the ceramic core 1 is inserted into the one guide wall 11 from the lateral direction. A guide member 13 that slidably guides the upper surface of the flange portion 3 of the ceramic core 1 is provided above the wire saw 20. The ceramic core 1 is conveyed on the wire saw 20 while maintaining a standing posture by the left and right guide walls 11 and 12 and the upper guide member 13. That is, the left and right inclination of the ceramic core 1 is regulated by the left and right guide walls 11 and 12, and the rotation is regulated by the upper guide member 13.

-Sixth Example-
FIG. 8 shows another example of the moving mechanism. In this embodiment, the operation member 40 is formed in an L shape as shown in FIG. 8C, the rear wall portion 40a of the operation member 40 pushes the rear surface of the ceramic core 1, and the lateral wall portion 40b is the ceramic core 1. It is configured to support one side of the. Therefore, one guide wall 11 is removed. In this case, the horizontal inclination of the ceramic core 1 is regulated by the lateral wall portion 40 b of the operation member 40 and the guide wall 12, and the rotation is regulated by the guide member 14 provided above the wire saw 20.

-Seventh Example-
FIG. 9 shows still another example of the moving mechanism. In this embodiment, a continuous carrier 41 such as a belt or a tape that is positioned above the wire saw 20 and moves in parallel with the wire saw 20 is used as the operation member. The continuous conveyance body 41 may be driven, for example, similarly to the belt conveyor 30 of FIG. In the continuous conveyance body 41, a plurality of window holes 41a are formed at regular intervals in the length direction, and the ceramic cores 1 are inserted into the window holes 41a one by one. A gap is preferably provided between the inner surface of the window hole 41a and the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic core 1 so that the ceramic core 1 is not restrained in the window hole 41a. The rear surface of the ceramic core 1 is pressed by the inner surface of the window hole 41a, and the left and right side surfaces are regulated by the inner surface of the window hole 41a. Therefore, the ceramic core 1 moves relative to the wire saw 20 while maintaining the standing posture, and the burr 4 is removed.

In this embodiment, since a guide member (guide wall) that restricts the right and left inclination of the ceramic core 1 is not required, the structure is simplified. Furthermore, since the continuous conveyance body 41 itself also serves as an operation member, the structure is simple compared to the combination of the belt and the operation member as shown in FIG.

-Eighth embodiment-
FIG. 10 shows another example of the moving mechanism. In this embodiment, the wire saw 20 is inclined, and vibration is applied to the wire saw 20 in the axial direction or in an oblique direction with respect to the axial line by a vibrating device. In this case, guide walls (see FIG. 3) for slidably guiding the outer surface of the flange 3 of the ceramic core 1 are preferably provided on both the left and right sides of the wire saw 20. In this case, the ceramic core 1 supplied on the wire saw 20 is moved downward by the action of gravity, and the wire saw 20 and the burr 4 are in frictional sliding contact therebetween, and the burr 4 is removed. In this embodiment, since the ceramic core 1 is moved relative to the wire saw 20 using gravity, it is not necessary to provide a moving mechanism such as a belt conveyor.

-Ninth Example-
FIG. 11 shows still another example of the moving mechanism. In this embodiment, the wire saw 20 is inclined and disposed, and a guide member 15 is provided in parallel with the wire saw 20. As shown in FIG. 11B, the guide member 15 has a U-shaped cross section having an upper wall portion 15a and side wall portions 15b and 15c so as to slidably guide the upper surface and both side surfaces of the ceramic core 1. It is desirable to be formed. Note that the upper wall portion 15a of the guide member 15 and the side wall portions 15b and 15c do not have to be integrated. The ceramic core 1 supplied onto the wire saw 20 sequentially moves downward due to the action of gravity, during which the wire saw 20 and the burr 4 come into frictional sliding contact, and the burr 4 is removed. In this embodiment, it is preferable to apply vibration to the wire saw 20 so that the ceramic core 1 can move smoothly downward. The vibration direction is arbitrary such as an axial direction or an oblique direction.

In this embodiment, since the ceramic core 1 is moved relative to the wire saw 20 using gravity, it is not necessary to provide a moving mechanism such as a belt conveyor. Furthermore, since the upper wall portion 15a of the guide member 15 has an effect of suppressing the ceramic core 1 from rotating due to frictional force with the wire saw 20, the inclination angle of the wire saw 20 can be increased as compared with FIG. , Deburring efficiency can be increased.

-Tenth Example-
(A)-(c) of FIG. 12 shows some examples of the moving mechanism using a magnet. In this embodiment, the ceramic core 1 is formed of a magnetic material such as a ferrite core. In FIG. 12A, a guide member 16 that slidably guides the upper surface of the ceramic core 1 is provided, and a magnet that attracts the ceramic core 1 is incorporated in the guide member 16. The guide member 16 itself may be a magnet. An operation member 42 for pushing the rear surface of the ceramic core 1 is provided. The operation member 42 may also be driven by a belt conveyor or the like in the same manner as the operation member 33 in FIG. 2 or the operation members 39 and 40 in FIGS. By adsorbing the upper surface of the ceramic core 1 in this way, the posture of the ceramic core 1 is stabilized when the ceramic core 1 moves along the wire saw 20. For this reason, the burr can reliably contact the wire saw 20 and the burr can be efficiently removed.

In FIG. 12B, the operation member 43 having an L-shaped cross section incorporates a magnet and pushes the ceramic core 1 made of a magnetic material while adsorbing it. Also in this case, since the posture of the ceramic core 1 is stabilized, deburring can be performed stably.

12C, in addition to the first operation member 43 having an L-shaped cross section in FIG. 12B, a second operation member 44 that presses the front surface of the ceramic core 1 is provided, and both operation members 43, 44 are provided. The ceramic core 1 is sandwiched between the two. The operation members 43 and 44 move together in the direction of the arrow. In this case, the posture of the ceramic core 1 is further stabilized.

FIG. 13 shows an example of an overall view of the manufacturing process of the ceramic core 1, particularly the ferrite core. First, as a first step, a ceramic powder (for example, ferrite powder) as a raw material is prepared (S1), and the ceramic powder is press-molded (S2). That is, the ceramic core is formed into a shape having flanges at both ends of the core. At this stage, burrs are generated around the core part. Next, the deburring method according to the present invention is performed to remove burrs (S3). Next, by firing the ceramic core subjected to the deburring method (S4), a high-quality ceramic core having no burrs can be finally obtained (S5). If this method is used, deburring is performed at the molding stage, so that it is possible to remove burrs in a shorter time than when deburring after firing, and wear of a tool such as a wire saw can be reduced.

The several embodiments described above are only a few examples of the present invention and can be modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In the above embodiment, the belt conveyor 30 is used as the moving mechanism. However, a continuous body such as a chain may be used instead of the belt conveyor 30, or a ceramic core using a linear motion mechanism such as a cylinder or a ball screw mechanism. 1 may be pushed.

In the above-described embodiment, the ceramic core having the rectangular flange portion and the core portion having the rectangular cross section has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a ceramic core having a non-rectangular part may be used, or a ceramic core having a non-rectangular cross section of the core part may be used. In the above embodiment, the ceramic core is supported horizontally on the wire saw and two downward burrs are removed simultaneously. However, the ceramic core is supported diagonally on the wire saw and the burrs are removed one by one. You may do it.

Further, a band saw can be used instead of the wire saw. The band saw is obtained by fixing abrasive grains to a long metal band, and the thickness thereof may be smaller than the gap between the flanges of the ceramic core. The band saw may be wound around a guide pulley in order to apply a predetermined tension to the band saw and guide the band saw to the conveying path of the ceramic core. It is possible to remove burrs by inserting one side edge of the band saw into the gap between the flanges of the ceramic core and moving the ceramic core along the band saw. A blade saw can also be used in addition to a wire saw and a band saw.
