Configure a QintelliM RS-Series machine with R sanding-belt deburring and S rotary roller brush edge rounding, project-based 450–1600 mm working widths, and A, M or A-M conveyor platforms.
Choose RS when ordinary burr removal and edge rounding are both required. Compare RSW Series if a separate brushing or polishing operation is also needed.
Configurable Deburring and Edge-Rounding Platform
Direct answer: QintelliM RS-Series machines combine one or more R deburring stations using sanding belt consumables with one or more S edge-rounding stations using rotary roller brush tooling. Station quantity and physical arrangement, project-based working width, conveyor platform, consumables, control system, dust collection and electrical data are confirmed from the workpiece and sample testing.
Choose this family when ordinary burr removal and edge rounding are both required in the same automated process. Choose R Series for sanding-belt deburring without S edge rounding, or S Series for edge rounding after primary burr control. Evaluate RSW Series when a separate W brushing or polishing operation is also required. Heavy-slag removal requires a C function.
Sheet Metal Applications
Laser-cut or punched sheet metal can have both raised burrs and a sharp edge profile. In an RS process, an R station uses sanding belt consumables for burr removal and an S station uses rotary roller brush tooling for the required rounded-edge result. The station route is confirmed from the incoming burr, target edge condition, surface requirement and sample result.
Use representative sample parts to confirm the required edge condition, then evaluate the complete cleaning, pretreatment, coating and curing route against the project specification.
Step 1 · Process Route
RS identifies the deburring and edge-rounding family. Each common model code records the planned station sequence from left to right—for example, RRS and RSR contain the same station quantities but follow different process routes. The final delivered arrangement is confirmed in the approved technical proposal.
One R sanding-belt stage followed by one S rotary roller brush stage for suitable burr removal and rounded-edge requirements.
An R–S–R route can add a controlled final sanding-belt step after edge rounding when the workpiece and surface target require it.
An R–R–S route can separate primary and secondary sanding-belt work before the rotary roller brush edge-rounding stage.
Additional R or S stations and alternative physical arrangements are available by project when justified by the sample result and production route.
Step 2 · Workpiece Size
Use the maximum workpiece dimension across the conveyor after considering orientation, edge access and loading direction. 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 3 · Workpiece Holding
Considered for suitable non-magnetic materials, small parts or thin sheets. Openings, contact area, flatness and combined R/S 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.

Common Production Models
Select the R/S station route first, then combine it with the required working width and conveyor platform. Every common model below supports 450, 630, 800, 1000, 1300 or 1600 mm working widths and A vacuum, M magnetic or A-M combined magnetic and vacuum platforms with project-specific layouts and effective holding areas.

How to read a complete model: 800RRS-A-M means 800 mm working width, an R-R-S station route and an A-M combined magnetic and vacuum platform with a project-specific layout and effective holding areas. Product-gallery images remain labeled as Representative RS-Series configuration unless the exact project configuration is confirmed.
Irregular-Part Process Proof
This QintelliM demo shows an irregular metal workpiece moving through an R–S–R route: sanding-belt deburring, edge rounding with rotary roller brush tooling and a final sanding-belt step. The 450 mm representative configuration uses an A vacuum adsorption platform. The video demonstrates this tested workpiece only; final process capability requires workpiece review and sample testing.
Consider RS when a sheet metal part needs ordinary burr removal and edge rounding, without a separate final W finishing operation. Material grade, geometry and holding conditions must be reviewed together.
| Workpiece or application | What to evaluate | Selection boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Laser-cut carbon steel | Burr condition, internal/external edges and magnetic response | Assess ordinary burrs separately from heavy adherent slag |
| Stainless steel parts | Actual magnetic response, openings and contact area | Do not assume an M platform holds every stainless grade |
| Punched or irregular parts | Edge access, rigidity, flatness and available holding area | The 450RSR-A video is representative, not proof for every geometry |
| Parts before coating or assembly | Remaining burrs and the agreed edge acceptance method | Do not infer coating life or a fixed radius from appearance alone |
| Route | Physical sequence | Question for sample testing |
|---|---|---|
| RRS | R → R → S | Does the required edge condition follow two belt stages and final brush rounding? |
| RSR | R → S → R | Is a belt operation after rounding needed, and does the final part still meet the edge and surface criteria? |
Neither arrangement is universally better. Compare the final workpiece against the same agreed criteria.
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.
Use the existing RFQ checklist below and identify the features that will be inspected. Ask for a documented sample comparison if RRS versus RSR remains undecided.
RFQ Preparation
Sample testing is recommended before the R/S station arrangement, sanding-belt sequence, rotary roller brush specification, conveyor platform and final machine configuration are approved.
Frequently Asked Questions
R means a deburring station using a sanding belt consumable. S means an edge-rounding station using rotary roller brush tooling.
Read the letters from left to right as the planned station route. RRS means R-R-S, while RSR means R-S-R. Both contain two R stations and one S station, but the process sequence is different. The delivered arrangement is confirmed in the approved technical proposal.
RSR places an additional sanding-belt step after edge rounding, while RRS uses two sanding-belt stages before edge rounding. Sample testing determines which sequence produces the required result.
No. The S station uses rotary roller brush tooling to create edge rounding or a controlled radius. It is different from cutting a defined bevel.
Not as the normal R/S process. Heavy-slag removal requires evaluation of a C station with dedicated alloy-hammer tooling.
No. M is intended for suitable ferromagnetic parts. A vacuum or A-M combined platform is selected only after material, contact area, openings, flatness and process load are reviewed.
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, control system and auxiliary equipment. Approved values are stated in the technical proposal and on the machine nameplate.
Send QintelliM the workpiece photos, drawings, dimensions, material, cutting method, burr condition, target edge result and production requirement. Engineering will confirm the R/S route, tooling, width, conveyor platform, dust-control interface and technical data.
