Vibratory finishing machines, media and compounds can be purchased from a number of European manufacturers. OSRO no longer offers machines and materials for conventional finishing applications. Instead, over the last few years, we have concentrated on finding practical solutions for the difficult to solve problems.

Together with our partners we concentrate on the not everyday finishing problems where conventional vibratory finishing methods have failed to produce the required results or problems which are considered  impossible to solve.

OSRO works closely with OSF OSRO Super Finishing GmbH.  OSF has 12 machines available to conduct tests on customers components. Added to these are the machines at such companies as REM GB and REM USA, Rösler Germany and Best Finishing Italy as well as machines at other partners' facilities. In total more than 60 machines are available for research and development.

The following are just some of the problems that we, together with our partners, have solved:

  • Surface improvement of finish machined steam and gas turbine blades without altering the geometry of the components. The blades have an individual weight from a few grams up to 55 kgs

  • Surface improvement of finish machined compressor blades for jet engines without altering or influencing the geometry of the blade

  • Surface improvement of finish machined titanium "blisks" for jet engines. The components having an individual weight of 10 to 850 kgs

  • Surface finishing surgical instruments from a 120-grit linished surface to a finish suitable for electro-polishing

  • Isotropic Superfinishing of components for car engines such as tappets, camshafts and crankshafts

  • Isotropic Superfinishing of gear pinions having an individual weight of up to 1200 kgs

  • Isotropic Superfinishing of gears having an individual weight of up to 1100 kgs

  • Isotropic Superfinishing of hollow gear wheels having an individual weight of up to 2000 kgs

  • Finishing manicure components from an as forged condition to a pre-nickel plate finish with out the necessity to hand linish

  • Degreasing, washing, polishing, rust inhibiting and drying of mass-produced needle bearings in a fully automatic installation without any form of operator involvement whatsoever
