Does your manufacturing facility or machine shop use
grinders, polishing heads, chamfering tools, hand deburring tools, or other equipment
for secondary operations? Would your machining center operators like to achieve
outer diameter (OD) surface finishing and deburring at the same time? Are you
ready to explore automated finishing to accelerate production,
improve quality, ensure consistency, and reduce off-line finishing times and
costs?
HOUSTEX 2015 is the place to learn about innovative
manufacturing technologies, and Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) is the place
to find surface finishing solutions. Visit BRM in Booth #242 and learn about our NamPower
family of products for OD applications such as surface preparation, burr and
rust removal, edge radiusing, spot finishing, and polishing. NamPower
technology includes abrasive disc brushes, abrasive hex-drive tools, composite
hub wheel brushes and accessories for in-line operations.
Brush Sizes and Styles
NamPower abrasive disc brushes come in a range of sizes, and are available in both
larger and smaller diameters. Larger abrasive disc brushes are recommended for
some OD applications, but mini disc brushes offer even greater versatility in
harder-to-reach areas. BRM's miniature brushing tools are also ideal for
smaller applications and planetary head mountings. Supplied in 50-mm, 60-mm,
and 80-mm diameters, NamPower small-diameter abrasive disc brushes come in two
styles: dot and turbine.
Dot style abrasive nylon brushes are ideal for light deburring
and edge blending. Turbine brushes are recommended for medium-duty and heavy-duty
burr removal. Both types of small-diameter NamPower abrasive discs support
short cycle times and long brush tool life. Dot style disc brushes provide
greater flexibility and support entry into small holes and spaces with ease.
Turbine style disc brushes feature a high-density fill for fast cutting.
Abrasive Types and
Grit Sizes
NamPower small-diameter nylon abrasive disc brushes feature a unique combination
of white ceramic and silicon carbide abrasive for achieving maximum burr
removal rates and an optimum surface finish at the same time. Standard grit
sizes of 80, 120, 180, and 320 are available, and BRM also supplies custom mini
disc brushes. Custom nylon abrasive brushing tools feature a combination of blue
ceramic and silicon carbide, or blue ceramic only.
The abrasive nylon filaments on all NamPower mini disc brushes conform closely to part contours,
wiping and filing across part edges and surfaces. Their linear construction puts
sharp, new abrasive grains into constant contact with the work surface and
provides consistent deburring action throughout the length of the bristles.
Compared to standard ceramic abrasive, BRM's combination of white ceramic and
silicon carbide provides excellent value and increased tool life.
Sturdy Base and
Flow-Through Tool Holder
NamPower small-diameter nylon
abrasive disc brushes are manufactured with a molded thermoplastic base that provides greater rigidity
and stability with less vibration. The result is a better balanced brush tool
with improved performance and longer tool life. BRM also supplies flow-through
tool holders that allow coolant to flow from the brush center instead of
supplying lubricant from only the outside. This lets the brush tool cut at
greater depths while dramatically reducing heat generation.
Small-diameter NamPower abrasive disc brushes feature a flow-through tool holder with a 16-mm shank. Available
for both dot style and turbine style mini disc brushes, these special tool
holders are heat-treated, precision ground, and PVD coated for improved
corrosion resistance. As with the tool holders for larger diameter NamPower abrasive
disc brushes, coolant flows through from the brush center, resulting in better
lubricant dispersion.
