ActOn Finishing will present its advanced drag finishing technology at MACH 2026, bringing a high-performance solution designed to meet the increasing demand for precision, efficiency, and repeatability in modern manufacturing.
At the centre of the showcase is the company’s ADF Drag Finishing Machine, a state-of-the-art system engineered to deliver superior surface finishing results across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, medical, automotive, and precision tooling. We invite you to drop by our stand 20-480, at NEC, between the 20th and 24th of April, and check out the ADF drag finishing technology.
A New Standard in Surface Finishing Technology
The ADF Drag Finishing Machine represents a significant step forward in surface finishing processes. Built and developed in the UK, the system utilises a high-energy, controlled process where components are securely clamped and dragged through specialised media. This generates intense friction, enabling fast and highly precise deburring, edge rounding, smoothing, and polishing.
Compared to traditional finishing methods, this approach delivers faster processing times, improved consistency, and significantly enhanced surface quality, making it particularly suitable for complex and high-value components.
Engineered for Precision, Efficiency, and Reliability
Designed with flexibility in mind, the ADF system features adjustable spindle speeds, customisable workpiece holders, and robust construction to support a wide range of applications. The process eliminates part-on-part contact, ensuring delicate components are protected while achieving uniform, repeatable finishes.
This controlled and automated approach reduces manual intervention, helping manufacturers streamline production, lower labour requirements, and improve overall operational efficiency.
Ideal for Complex and High-Value Components
The ADF Drag Finishing Machine is particularly well suited for intricate geometries and precision components where consistent surface quality is critical. From turbine blades and medical implants to gears and tooling components, the system enables manufacturers to achieve high-performance finishes without compromising part integrity.
By significantly reducing processing times – often completing cycles in a fraction of the time required by conventional methods—the technology supports increased throughput while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Supporting the Future of UK Manufacturing
ActOn Finishing’s presence at MACH 2026 highlights its ongoing commitment to innovation and supporting UK manufacturers with advanced, process-driven solutions. The introduction of this drag finishing technology reflects the company’s focus on helping customers improve productivity, reduce waste, and remain competitive in increasingly demanding markets.
Visitors to the ActOn stand will have the opportunity to learn more about the capabilities of the ADF Drag Finishing Machine and discuss specific applications with the company’s expert team.
ActOn Finishing looks forward to welcoming visitors to MACH 2026 and demonstrating how its latest technology is shaping the future of surface finishing.
