Deburring Tools for Small Parts

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2014

Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM), American maker of flexible hones and industrial brushing tools, is announcing miniature deburring brushes for small parts. By selecting and using the right deburring tools, manufacturers can improve consistency, promote quality, and speed operations. As a full-line supplier of industrial brushes, BRM can help both with deburring tool selection and technical support.

In addition to surface finish requirements, buyers must evaluate product specifications such as brush size and filament type. Part contours, the material to work, and the amount of material to remove are also important to consider. With automated deburring, manufacturers need to note the speed of the machine tool, feed rates, and the brush tool's optimum wear life, too.

Types of Deburring Brushes

BRM supplies high-quality, long-lasting brush tools with carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, nylon, and abrasive nylon filaments. Available abrasive types include aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, silicate, and diamond. For deburring and surface finishing applications with bore sizes of 4 mm or greater, Flex-Hone® tools are available.

Miniature deburring brushes with metal filaments are suitable for some small parts. For clearing chips from holes, and for removing protruding and break-through burrs, stainless steel brushes in diameters as small as 0.024 in. (0.6 mm) are used. BRM also supplies small parts deburring brushes with stainless steel filaments for cross-hole deburring.

Nylon brushes for small parts finishing feature non-reactive nylon filaments that will not impart carbon impurities to the work surface. Abrasive nylon brushes are recommended for applications involving tight tolerances, edge blending, burr removal, and other finishing requirements for bores as small as 0.032 in. (0.8 mm). These brush tools are also used for polishing thread peaks and removing burrs from threads.

Flexible Honing Tools for Small Parts Deburring

Flex-Hone® tools are resilient, flexible honing tools with a soft cutting action. Self-centering, self-aligning to the bore, and self-compensating for wear, these deburring tools feature globules of abrasive grit that are permanently laminated to the ends of nylon filaments. Known also as ball hones, flexible hones are available in 8 different abrasive types and 11 grit selections.

For small parts deburring with bores sizes of 4-mm or greater, Flex-Hone® tools are preferred. With their low-temperature, low-pressure abrading process, BRM ball hones remove burrs and improve surface finish at the same time. For more information, including advice about tool selection and use, download the Flex-Hone® Resource Guide.

Automated Deburring and Surface Finishing with NamPower Brushes

Los Angeles, CA (USA) (PRWEB) March 18, 2014

Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM), global leader in surface finishing solutions, is announcing an article in the March 2014 edition of Industrial Machinery Digest that serves as a case study for BRM's NamPower nylon abrasive brushes. Orange Vise, manufacturer of CNC machine vises and quick-fixturing components, is using NamPower brushes to automate surface finishing and deburring operations.

Instead of removing burrs off-line as a secondary process, part manufacturers can use NamPower technology to perform both tasks on-line at the same time. Automated deburring and finishing improves production efficiency by eliminating time-consuming manual operations. It also improves part quality and consistency since machine-based operations are highly repeatable.

NamPower Case Study

Before Orange Vise began using Nam Power abrasive brushes, the parts manufacturer required an employee to inspect each part and remove any burrs by hand. The Orange County company's CNC machine vises are made of different metal materials, and required time-consuming grinding on non-critical surfaces to create a uniform appearance over the workpiece.

Today, Orange Vise is using NamPower brush tools with a high-speed horizontal machining center to achieve a smooth, blended surface finish on machined components. NamPower abrasive disc brushes can also be used with robotic cells and transfer lines. These high-performance industrial brushes work well with cast and ductile iron; mild, stainless, and alloy steels; and titanium and high-nickel alloys.

There are two types of NamPower abrasive disc brushes: dot and turbine. The dot-style brush tools that Orange Vise uses are designed for light deburring, surface finishing, and edge blending. Turbine-style NamPower brushes have a heavier fill density for medium and heavy deburring. Both types of abrasive disc brushes have flexible nylon abrasive filaments bonded to fiber-reinforced thermoplastic base.

NamPower Technology

With their unique combination of ceramic and silicon carbide abrasives, NamPower brushes remove burrs and improve surface finish at the same time. The brush tool's nylon abrasive filaments work like flexible files, conforming to part contours while wiping across part surfaces. As older grains wear, sharp new grains come into contact with the work surface for a consistent deburring action.

Unlike other abrasive disc brushes, NamPower deburring tools allow fluid to flow from the brush center instead of supplying lubrication only from the outside. As BRM's How to Automate Deburring and Surface Finishing video explains, the result is greater cut depths, better cutting action, reduced heat generation, and longer brush life.

NamPower technology includes lightweight tool holders that reduce vibration, improve performance, and extend brush life. Made with a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic that's bonded to a hardened and ground steel shank, these NamPower accessories are rigid and well-balanced. They're also specially designed for use with NamPower's unique flow-through coolant system.
