8. The scraper tool according to claim 2 further comprising at least one spring for calibrating a cutting effort of the turning lathe platelet on the casing edge.
9. The scraper tool according to claim 8 , wherein the casing comprises an inside portion and an outside portion, and the at least one cutting edge comprises at least two parallel cutting edges to deburr, respectively, the inside portion and the outside portion of the casing edge.
10. The scraper tool according to claim 2 , wherein the casing comprises an inside portion and an outside portion, and the at least one cutting edge comprises at least two parallel cutting edges to deburr, respectively, the inside portion and the outside portion of the casing edge.
11. The scraper tool according to claim 1 further comprising at least one spring for calibrating a cutting effort of the turning lathe platelet on the casing edge.
12. The scraper tool according to claim 11 , wherein the casing comprises an inside portion and an outside portion, and the at least one cutting edge comprises at least two parallel cutting edges to deburr, respectively, the inside portion and the outside portion of the casing edge.
13. The scraper tool according to claim 1 , wherein the casing comprises an inside portion and an outside portion, and the at least one cutting edge comprises at least two parallel cutting edges to deburr, respectively, the inside portion and the outside portion of the casing edge.
14. The scraper tool according to claim 1 , wherein the guide includes at least one roll.
15. The scraper tool according to claim 1 , wherein the turning lathe platelet is in a diamond shape.
16. The scraper tool according to claim 1 further comprising at least one spring for calibrating a cutting effort of the turning lathe platelet on the casing edge, and
the at least one cutting edge comprises at least two parallel cutting edges that extend in opposite directions from the longitudinal axis of the connecting pole.
17. The scraper tool according to claim 1 further comprising at least one spring, wherein
the casing includes an irregular radius of curvature at the casing edge, and
the at least one spring maintains contact between the turning lathe platelet and the casing edge during deburring of the casing edge.
18. The scraper tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one cutting edge is disposed at a cutting angle relative to the casing edge to machine a burr of the casing edge; and
the cutting angle of the at least one cutting edge is maintained when the guide is in contact with the casing edge.
19. The scraper tool according to claim 18 , wherein
said turning lathe platelet is linearly translatable with respect to the body along an axial direction that extends between the first end and the second end, and
the deburring module further comprises a limiter for limiting a stroke of the turning lathe platelet along the axial direction.
