    摘要: A method and machine for deburring the burr which is formed when wires are butt welded is disclosed. The machine comprises a deburring head which has a pair of opposed deburring rollers mounted thereon. Each of the rollers has a milled surface formed therein. A linkage is connected to the rollers to cause the rollers to rotate when the linkage is moved between first and second positions. When the linkage is in its first position, the milled surfaces of the rollers face one another to enable the wires and burr to be positioned therebetween. As the linkage moves to its second position, the circumferences of the rollers engage the burr to roll out the same, thereby providing a substantially smooth, cylindrical surface where the burr was located. The method of deburring is also disclosed.
