Analysis of a Device for Texturing by Burnishing Using Principles from Axiomatic Design

The vibro-burnishing is a process by means a ball or a roller or other tool active surface is pressed and moved, inclusively by applying a vibratory motion, along the surface to be finished, generating a specific microrelief. A device for vibro-burnishing adapted on a universal lathe was analyzed by means of some principles corresponding to the Axiomatic Design theory. The analysis was developed by adopting some simplifying assumptions and it proved an adequate design, by considering some functional requirements and design parameters specific to the device.
