TFON Surfacer® TF-RF-3013
The TF-RF-3013 is a 1300 mm surface finishing machine for burr-free laser-cut stainless steel and aluminum panels; it rounds the edges and applies a satin finish to the visible face. On stainless steel and aluminum panels, the appearance of the surface often decides acceptance. The TFON Surfacer® TF-RF-3013 rounds the edges of these parts and gives the visible surface a satin texture with its finishing station, on parts up to 1300 mm wide, up to 600 kg and up to 120 mm thick depending on the application. Parts should arrive burr-free; the machine's task is the edge profile and the surface texture. With 8 brushes of Ø350 mm, it suits lines producing wide decorative panels and covers.

IProtect
Equipped with Intelligent Overload Protection, the system monitors motor torque to detect abnormal resistance caused by thickness variations. It instantly reacts to discrepancies between the actual material and the screen settings, safeguarding the abrasive belt and contact drum from damage.
AutoSwing
The Electropneumatic Oscillation Control provides a steady oscillating motion that prevents the abrasive belt from tracking off the drums. This ensures belt stability and extends the service life of the consumables.
AcTFON
The Independent Station Movement system is our most distinctive engineering advantage. Unlike competitors who adjust thickness by moving the entire conveyor, our system utilizes independent servo-controlled stations that move vertically while the conveyor remains at a fixed height. This ensure maximum stability and allows for seamless integration into automated production lines.
T-Servo
The Servo Position Control system ensures high-precision movement of the stations with an accuracy of 0.1 mm. This level of control supports consistent results across different batches and allows for ultra-fine adjustments to achieve the perfect finish.
PART TRACK
The PartTrack Recipe Storage System is a solution designed for customers with a wide variety of parts. It stores part processing data in the machine’s memory, enabling easy access whenever needed. Instead of entering values one by one, it allows users to simply select the part name with a single touch, thereby increasing processing speed and efficiency.
THE EYE
The Automatic Laser Thickness Measurement system detects the material thickness and automatically updates the machine settings. This eliminates manual measurement errors and ensures a rapid, foolproof setup for every workpiece.
GATEWATCH
Equipped with a mechanical sensing system, the Overload Protection utilizes a limit switch located above the pressure roller to detect thickness anomalies instantly. If a part exceeds the thickness value entered on the screen, the system triggers an immediate halt to safeguard the abrasive belt and rubber-coated drum from impact damage.
VTOUCH
The user-friendly Touch Screen Control Panel allows for easy management of all machine parameters from a single station. It enables precise adjustments of station heights and conveyor speeds while enhancing operational efficiency through real-time monitoring and diagnostic alerts.

Which job does this machine solve?
Model code: TF-RF = R (Edge Rounding) + F (Satin Finishing). 3013 stands for the machine body with 1300 mm working width.
- Combines edge rounding with satin surface finishing on parts that arrive burr-free, giving the visible surface a consistent texture.
- 1300 mm working width and 600 kg part weight capacity; thickness up to 120 mm depending on the application.
- Saved recipes and servo-controlled station movement: select the part type and the machine sets itself. T-Servo station positioning works with 0.1 mm accuracy.
- Vacuum and/or magnetic holding system; minimum part size 50 × 50 mm.
- A feed speed of 0.6 to 4.0 m/min lets you match the feed to the part and the acceptance criteria.
Frequently asked questions
Are both faces of the part processed on this machine?
Standard processing is on one face. For the other face, the part is turned over and passed through a second time.
Which cutting processes is the TFON Surfacer® TF-RF-3013 suited to?
The TFON Surfacer® TF-RF-3013 is suited to laser-cut and punched parts that require a visible surface. It has no separate deburring station, so parts are expected to arrive burr-free.
What is the minimum part size?
50 × 50 mm. This value depends on the holding method and the part geometry.
Which consumables are used?
The consumables used on the TFON Surfacer® TF-RF-3013 are: Edge Rounding Brush, Oxide Removal Brush, Cubitron Abrasive Belt, Scotch Abrasive, Ceramic Abrasive, Zirconia Abrasive and Aluminum Oxide Abrasive. If stainless steel is processed, consumables separate from those used for carbon steel are required.
