Systems and methods suitable for shaping and cutting materials. Such a system includes first and second carriage units that are independently operable to travel in a travel direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of a table supporting the material. The first and second carriage units have first and second arms, respectively. A cutting device coupled to the first arm forms a slit in the material, and a deburring device coupled to the second arm forcibly removes burrs from the slit. The deburring device is behind the cutting device relative to the travel direction and forcibly removes burrs in the travel direction toward a breakthrough point of the slit. The second carriage unit oscillates parallel to the travel direction so that the deburring device moves toward and away from the breakthrough point of the slit to remove burrs at the breakthrough point.

Scarfing machine (1) for scarfing hot and cold work pieces (2), such as slabs, blooms and billets made from steel in and downstream of continuous casting plants with a roller table (3) arranged in the direction of transport of the work piece, on which the work piece (2) to be scarfed can be moved back and forth. The scarfing machine (1) is set up in a gap (4) formed in the roller table (3) which has a U-shaped beam (7) with a scarfing unit (10) in the form of a rack of manifolds arranged crosswise to the roller table (3). The height of the burner beam (7) can be adjusted and it can be pivoted approximately 180° on a horizontal axis (8) around the top, bottom and cut sides of the work piece (2) by means of a swivelling drive (6) while the work piece is moved back and forth.

A method is for reducing surface roughness of an additive manufactured metallic component. The method includes placing the component in a chamber, filling the chamber with a combustible gas mixture, allowing the gas mixture to surround the component and igniting the gas mixture so as to expose the surface of the additive manufactured metallic component to at least one thermal pulse.

Systems and methods suitable for cutting a material and deburring devices for performing a deburring operation on an edge of the material. Such a system includes a frame and table systems supported by the frame. Each table system includes a table for supporting the material and each table system is independently movable relative to the frame in lateral directions. A first carriage unit and second carriage units are supported by the frame and independently operable to travel in a travel direction transverse to the lateral directions. The first carriage unit includes multiple cutting devices, and the second carriage units includes multiple deburring devices. Each cutting device operates in conjunction with a corresponding one of the deburring devices, and the cutting and deburring devices are independently operable to cause the cutting devices and the deburring devices to simultaneously travel in the travel direction.
