In the centrifugal barrel finishing machine of the type having X barrel assemblies, in which X is an integer, a method finishing workpieces 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. The workpieces in each succeeding assembly are finished X number of times each of which is for a duration of time equal to Y/X. In this way, the workpieces in each succeeding assembly can be replaced with workpieces to be finished as the finishing in the preceding unit has been completed, thereby permitting a continuous finishing process and barrel assembly replacement for each succeeding assembly without the need for exchanging the mass in all the barrel assemblies at the same time. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A principal object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problem encountered with the conventional machine.
The present invention is provided in the form of a method which achieves the above object.
The method is based on the concept of the structural features, which are summarized below.
X barrel assemblies each consisting of a number of barrel subunits (or barrel shafts supporting the respective barrel assemblies) are configured to be held rotatably by a turret which is capable of a high-speed rotation, so that they can both rotate axially and revolve orbitally with the turret.
Each of the barrel assemblies contains work pieces, abrasive media and compound solution, if necessary, which may be referred to collectively as "contents" or "mass".
Thus, during the operation of the machine which is scheduled to run for a total period of time of Y, which corresponds to one cycle of the operation, the workpieces contained in each of the assemblies are subjected to the finishing process for every time interval of Y/X, and at the end of the total time Y, a given assembly which is the first one to have the workpieces to be finished is replaced with a different assembly containing workpieces to be processed.
In this manner, the workpieces in each succeeding assembly are subjected to the finishing process for the time interval Y/X which is repeated a number of X times, until the total time of Y for one cycle is reached.
Another cycle following the preceding cycle begins, during which the same sequence of operations is repeated for the remaining succeeding units.
This sequence is repeated until all of the workpieces are finished and the machine is finally stopped.
The method according to the present invention provides an advantage over the method practiced in the conventional machine, since replacement of the workpieces can occur for each succeeding assembly, sequentially, instead of all assemblies at one time.
It has the accompanying advantage of saving the physical space and time requirements for the replacement of the workpieces
