Small
parts requiring deburring, edge blending or other surface finishing can present
production challenges to manufacturers. Often, production is taken offstream
where hand-held tools are necessary to perform the intricate secondary
finishing many of these components require. This action frequently results in
reduced productivity and inconsistent product quality. Even in instances where
the process is fully automated, specifying the appropriate finishing brush for
the application plays an integral role in improving the tool's overall
performance and life span.
A
miniature deburring brush can solve both the productivity and quality
challenges involved when manufacturing parts of various small sizes, contours
and materials. These tools are generally best suited to address tight
tolerances, edge blending, deburring and other finishing requirements that have
a direct impact on overall functionality.
