BRM at IMTS 2012 – Metalworking, Manufacturing, and More

Posted September 04, 2012 9:07 AM by Brush Research

If bigger is better, than size would be reason enough for you to attend IMTS 2012. With more than 82,000 visitors and over 1,800 exhibitors, the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) is one of the world's largest industrial tradeshows and the largest event of its kind in America. Thinking of walking the show? Then you might want to bring your sneakers, or at least a pair of comfortable shoes. IMTS 2012 spans 1.2 million net square feet of show floor space across 10 pavilions.

U.S. Manufacturing Demands Greater ROI

Deciding whether or not to attend a tradeshow is a bit more complicated than choosing walking shoes. Cost-conscious exhibitors and value-hungry visitors demand a return on their investment (ROI), both in terms of time and money. For American manufacturers, the stakes are high. Efforts to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and encourage re-shoring are underway, but your business has day-to-day concerns all its own. To strengthen the bottom line, you need to find new ways to cut costs and boost efficiency.

How IMTS 2012 Can Help Your Business

IMTS 2012 is the place to find solutions, all under one roof and all at the same time. Interactive sessions examine proven tools and emerging technologies, with a special focus on business development and increased productivity. With the highest concentration of buyers and decision makers in the metal working industry, IMTS 2012 is the place to network with peers, learn about new technologies, and fill your toolbox and your sales pipeline. So put on your walking shoes and visit BRM in Booth N-7263.

Surface Finishing Solutions for Metalworking

Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) has a long history of solving difficult finishing problems with brushing technology. As a world-class manufacturer of honing tools, abrasive nylon brushes, deburring brushes, automotive brushes, power brushes, and twisted-in-wire brushes, we stand ready to help you find the right solutions for your finishing needs. With American-made products used in a wide range of industries and applications, BRM invites you to visit Booth N-7263 to talk shop about metalworking.

Deglazing, Cross-Hole Deburring, and Chamfer Blending

Michael Miller, BRM's Vice President of Global Sales, will be glad to answer your questions about the Flex-Hone tool for deglazing, cross-hole deburring, and chamfer blending. This versatile, flexible cylinder hone is ideal for deglazing and refinishing cylinder walls in all types of gasoline and diesel engines. The Flex-Hone is also great for deburring, the process of removing the raised particles and shavings that are created during metal machining. Additional Flex-Hone applications include chamfer blending, which removes micro-burrs and stress risers.

In-Machine Deburring, Edge Radiusing, and Surface Conditioning

BRM will also showcase its NamPower family of brush tools at IMTS 2012. These high-performance brush tools for in-machine deburring, edge radiusing, and surface conditioning are easily integrated into both manual and automated finishing machinery, including CNC machining centers, transfer lines, and robotic cells. Industrial applications for NamPower abrasive disc brushes include extrusion and fine blanketing, appliance manufacturing, and the deburring, cleaning, surface preparation, and resurfacing of plastic and aluminum automotive parts.

See You In Chicago

IMTS 2012 is the place to build your business and keep on the cutting edge of manufacturing technology in these challenging economic times. From September 10 to 15, metalworking and manufacturing meets at the McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois (USA). Brush Research Manufacturing will be in Booth N-7263 in the Abrasive, Machining, Sawing, and Finishing Pavilion. Hope to see you there!
