Abstract
In the centrifugal barrel finishing machine of the type having X barrel assemblies, in which X is integer, the method and apparatus are provided whereby during a given total finishing time Y of the workpieces, each succeeding assembly containing finished workpieces is to be replaced with another assembly containing unfinished workpieces at the end of each time interval of Y/X, during which the workpieces in each succeeding assembly is to be finished for the number of X times, that is, equal to the number of X assemblies. In this way, the workpieces in each succeeding assembly can be replaced with workpieces to be finished in each time at the finishing for the processes in the preceding unit has been completed, thereby permitting continuous finishing process and replacing tasks for each succeeding assembly, and thus eliminating the need of exchanging the mass in all the assemblies at a time during stopping.
