Configurable Rotary Roller Brush Edge-Rounding Platform
Direct answer: Qintellim S-Series machines use one or more independently controlled S edge-rounding stations, each using rotary roller brush tooling. Station quantity, project-based working width, conveyor platform, brush specification, target edge result, control system, dust collection and electrical data are confirmed from the workpiece and sample testing.
Choose this family when the main requirement is smoother, safer rounded edges on accessible external contours, holes or slots. Significant primary burr removal or surface grinding requires an R station, heavy-slag removal requires a C station, and surface brushing or polishing requires a W station.
Sheet Metal Applications
Laser-cut and punched sheet metal parts may be burr-free but still have sharp edges. An S edge-rounding station uses rotary roller brush tooling to create a smoother radius on suitable external contours and accessible holes or slots. The required edge result must come from the drawing or downstream process and be confirmed by sample testing.
Edge rounding changes the mechanical edge geometry. It does not replace cleaning, chemical pretreatment, grounding, coating application, curing or final coating validation.
Step 1 · Edge-Rounding Stages
S and SS are the common one- and two-station model codes. Additional S stations can be configured by project to separate edge-rounding steps or use different rotary roller brush specifications, but SSS is not presented as a fixed standard model. Brush type, height or pressure setting and process route are determined by sample testing.
One S station for a defined rounded-edge result on suitable and accessible workpiece features.
Two independently controlled S stations can divide the process between different rotary roller brushes or edge-rounding steps.
Additional S stations are evaluated by project when the sample result or production route requires more than two edge-rounding stages.
Add R, C or W functions when the same process must also remove primary burrs, remove heavy slag, or create a brushed or polished surface.
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 non-magnetic materials, small parts or thin sheets. Openings, surface contact area, flatness and brush load must be reviewed.
Used for suitable ferromagnetic steel workpieces. Actual holding depends on material response, contact area, thickness and process load.
A half-magnetic, half-vacuum platform for workshops processing mixed materials or frequently changing workpiece requirements.

Common Production Models
Select one or two S edge-rounding stations, then combine the model with the required working width and conveyor platform. Both common models support 450, 630, 800, 1000, 1300 or 1600 mm working widths and A vacuum, M magnetic or A-M half-magnetic, half-vacuum combined platforms.
| Common Model | Station Route | S Stations | Available Working Widths | Conveyor Platform Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | S | 1 | 450 / 630 / 800 / 1000 / 1300 / 1600 mm | A vacuum / M magnetic / A-M combined |
| SS | S-S | 2 | 450 / 630 / 800 / 1000 / 1300 / 1600 mm | A vacuum / M magnetic / A-M combined |
How to read a complete model: 800S-A means 800 mm working width, one S edge-rounding station and an A vacuum platform. Product-gallery images show a representative S-Series configuration; exact brush specification, controls and technical data are confirmed in the approved project proposal.
Single-Station Process Proof
This Qintellim demo shows one S edge-rounding station using rotary roller brush tooling to process a round metal workpiece. The footage covers setup, loading, brush contact and conveyor output. It demonstrates this representative process only; the final edge result and machine configuration require workpiece review and sample testing.
RFQ Preparation
Sample testing is recommended before the rotary roller brush specification, S-station quantity, conveyor platform and final machine configuration are approved.
Frequently Asked Questions
S means an edge-rounding station. The rotary roller brush is the tooling used by the station to create smoother, rounded edges.
No. An S station is designed for edge rounding. Significant primary burr removal or surface grinding normally requires an R station using a sanding belt consumable.
No. The S station creates edge rounding or a controlled radius with rotary roller brush tooling. It is different from cutting a defined bevel.
It can process accessible features when the rotary roller brush can reach the edge and the workpiece can be conveyed securely. Drawings and samples are required for difficult geometry.
Additional S stations may separate different brush specifications or process steps. The value of a second or additional station must be demonstrated by the sample result and production requirement.
No. M is intended for suitable ferromagnetic parts. Non-magnetic materials normally require vacuum holding, while A-M provides separate magnetic and vacuum areas for mixed production.
No. The listed working widths are available by project. Production configuration and delivery are confirmed after the workpiece, process and order requirements are reviewed.
Edge result and technical data change with the workpiece, brush tooling, station quantity, width, conveyor platform and auxiliary equipment. Approved values are stated in the technical proposal and on the machine nameplate.
Send Qintellim your workpiece photos, drawings, dimensions, material, incoming edge condition and target result. Engineering will confirm the S-station quantity, rotary roller brush specification, width, conveyor platform and technical data.
