Configure a QintelliM RSW-Series machine with R sanding-belt deburring, S rotary-brush edge rounding, W brushing or polishing, project-based 450–1600 mm working widths, and A, M or A-M conveyor platforms.
Choose RSW when deburring, edge rounding and surface finishing are all required. Compare RS Series without a separate W operation, or RW Series without an independent S edge-rounding process.
Configurable Deburring, Edge-Rounding and Surface-Finishing Platform
Direct answer: QintelliM RSW-Series machines combine R sanding-belt deburring, S edge rounding with rotary roller brushes and W surface finishing with a selected brushing or polishing roller. Station quantity and physical arrangement, project-based working width, conveyor platform, abrasive sequence, brush and roller tooling, controls, dust collection and electrical data are confirmed from the workpiece and representative sample testing.
Choose this family when deburring, edge rounding and a specified brushed or polished surface are all required. Choose RS Series for deburring and edge rounding without a separate W finishing operation, or RW Series for deburring and surface finishing without an independent S edge-rounding process. Heavy-slag removal is outside the normal R/S/W route and requires evaluation of a C function.
Step 1 · Process Route
RSW identifies the deburring, edge-rounding and surface-finishing family. Each common model code records the planned station sequence from left to right—for example, RRSW and RSRW contain the same station quantities but follow different process routes. The final delivered arrangement is confirmed in the approved technical proposal.
One R, one S and one W function for ordinary burr removal, controlled edge radiusing and a selected brushed or polished surface.
A representative R-S-R-W route separates initial deburring from secondary surface refinement before the final W process.
If brushing and polishing are both required as independent controlled steps, two W stations are evaluated instead of assigning both results to one roller.
RRSW, RRSRW and other arrangements are available by project when representative testing confirms the need for additional grinding or finishing stages.
As with other QintelliM machine series, each installed processing station can be controlled and used independently. A station that is not required for the current job can be raised and switched off.
This allows the active process route to be selected according to the actual workpiece and required result without changing the installed machine configuration. A multi-station machine does not require every production batch to use every installed process.
This capability applies across the QintelliM product range to different station types and repeated stations, including each R in an RR configuration. The installed configuration records the physical station sequence; the active route uses a subset of those installed stations in the same physical order. Independent control does not change the configuration code or rearrange the stations. A switched-off station does not participate in that batch process.
See a confirmed aluminum batch processed on an R-S-W machine using an active R→W route. In that example, R performed sanding-belt deburring/grinding, S was raised and switched off, and W performed brushing. The example does not identify the exact model or configuration of any particular machine listed on this family page.
Step 2 · Define Each Result
Removes ordinary cutting burrs, oxide or surface residue with a selected abrasive-belt sequence. It is not a substitute for dedicated heavy-slag removal.
Rotary roller brush tooling treats suitable internal and external edges to achieve an agreed radius condition. S is edge rounding, not a fixed beveling operation.
A selected brushing or polishing roller produces the agreed directional, visual or measurable surface result. Roller choice requires sample confirmation.
Step 3 · Surface Target
Define the grain direction, acceptable visual variation, reference sample and whether the finish is functional or decorative.
Define the target appearance or measurable roughness requirement. A mirror finish is not assumed without representative sample testing.
R abrasive sequence, S brush specification, W roller construction, settings and number of passes are selected from the actual material and acceptance standard.
Step 4 · Workpiece Size
Use the maximum workpiece dimension across the conveyor after considering part orientation, surface-grain direction and loading flow. Every listed width is supplied according to project confirmation; it is not a promise of stock availability.
The working width is a processing parameter. It is not the same as the machine's overall width or total conveyor-platform dimensions. Final dimensions are stated in the approved technical proposal.
Step 5 · Workpiece Holding
Considered for suitable non-magnetic materials, small parts or thin sheets. Openings, contact area, flatness and the combined R/S/W process load must be reviewed.
Used for suitable ferromagnetic steel workpieces. Actual holding depends on material response, contact area, thickness and process load.
A combined magnetic and vacuum holding arrangement for mixed or changing workpiece requirements. The actual layout and effective holding areas are project-specific and confirmed according to the workpiece and application.

RSW Process Proof
This QintelliM demo shows a representative RSW-Series configuration processing a workpiece through an R sanding-belt deburring station, an S edge-rounding station with rotary roller brushes and a W surface-finishing station. It demonstrates the actual filmed workpiece and station sequence only; final edge radius, surface result and machine configuration require representative sample testing.
An RSW-family through-feed route combines abrasive-belt deburring at R, rotary roller brush edge rounding at S, and a selected surface-finishing operation at W. The family name does not guarantee a particular number of stations, passes or finished appearance. Read the actual configuration code and approved process sequence.
| Application | R/S/W process question | Confirm before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel | How should burr removal and edge rounding prepare the part for the specified W finish? | Material grade, holding, grain direction, reference finish and inspection method |
| Carbon steel | Are ordinary burrs, sharp edges and surface refinement all part of the job? | Incoming condition, tooling and the required surface result; evaluate C if heavy slag is present |
| Laser-cut parts | Which cut edges, openings and visible faces need treatment? | Part geometry, secure holding and the combined route on representative samples |
Process demonstrations show the filmed workpiece and configuration. They do not establish a guaranteed edge radius, surface roughness, throughput or result for another part. Confirm acceptance criteria using representative samples.
The existing RSW process video on this page is a representative demonstration. A measured engineering test should additionally record tooling, settings, passes and the inspection method.
RFQ Preparation
Sample testing is recommended before the R/S/W station arrangement, abrasive sequence, S brush, W roller, conveyor platform and final machine configuration are approved.
Frequently Asked Questions
R means a deburring station using sanding belt consumables. S means an edge-rounding station using rotary roller brush tooling. W means a surface-finishing station using a selected brushing or polishing roller.
RSW includes one R, one S and one W function in its basic representative route. RSRW adds a second independently controlled R stage so initial deburring and secondary surface refinement can be separated.
Read the letters from left to right as the planned station route. RRSW means R-R-S-W, while RSRW means R-S-R-W. Both contain two R stations, one S station and one W station, but the process sequence is different. The delivered arrangement is confirmed in the approved technical proposal.
If both processes are required as independent controlled steps, two W stations should be evaluated. Roller sequence and settings are confirmed by sample testing.
No fixed bevel angle or chamfer is implied. The S function uses rotary roller brushes for controlled edge rounding, and the acceptable radius is confirmed by testing and inspection.
Not as the normal R/S/W process. Heavy-slag removal requires evaluation of a C station with dedicated alloy-hammer tooling.
No. Material, incoming condition, geometry, abrasives, brushes, rollers and settings all affect the result. A representative sample and agreed inspection standard are required.
No. The listed working widths are available by project. Production configuration and delivery are confirmed after the workpiece, process and order requirements are reviewed.
Installed power and process settings change with working width, station quantity, tooling, conveyor platform, controls and auxiliary equipment. Approved values are stated in the technical proposal and on the machine nameplate.
Send QintelliM the workpiece photos, drawings, dimensions, material, upstream process, burr condition, edge-radius target, final-surface requirement and production demand. Engineering will confirm the R/S/W route, tooling, width, conveyor platform, dust-control interface and technical data.
