BRM at WESTEC 2013 – Visit Booth 1812 for Surface Finishing Solutions

WESTEC 2013 is a manufacturing “think tank” where industry leaders will learn about everything from multi-tasking machine tools to advanced materials. For manufacturers who want to understand lean thinking or compare cutting-edge equipment, the West Coast’s premiere tradeshow is the place to be this October. Visitors and exhibitors alike will trade ideas with presenters, panelists, and peers. Business cards will be exchanged, but it’s the sharing of knowledge that builds business relationships.

For answers to questions about surface finishing and deburring, visit Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) at WESTEC 2013. From October 15 to 17, Booth 1812 at the Los Angeles Convention Center will be where manufacturers who want an edge learn how to improve part quality, reduce costs, and speed operations. By automating surface finishing and deburring with BRM’s Flex-Hone® and NamPower brush tools, manufacturers can keep ahead of the competition and meet metalworking challenges.

Cylinder Honing Tools Improve Inner Diameter (ID) Surface Finish

BRM’s Flex-Hone® is a resilient, flexible honing tool with a soft cutting action. Available in a variety of abrasive types, grits, and tool diameters, these versatile cylinder hones mount in handheld electric drills as well as transfer lines, robotic cells, and CNC machine centers. As BRM’s Flex-Hone® In-Machine Setup video explains, quality-conscious manufacturing companies are automating inner diameter (ID) metal finishing operations, removing burrs and achieving surface finishes down to the single RA level.

Flexible honing tools are ideal for any type or size cylinder, and can deburr a bore and improve internal surface finish at the same time.  With their abrasive globules laminated onto the ends of flexible nylon filaments, BRM ball hones also self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear. As visitors to Booth 1812 at WESTEC 2013 will learn, the plateau finish that flexible honing imparts creates a uniform series of oil-retaining grooves that optimize lubrication and reduce wear.

Nylon Abrasive Brushes Improve Outer Diameter (OD) Surface Finish

For unmatched outer diameter (OD) surface finishing, NamPower brushes combine high-performance with versatility and easy-of-use. Designed for mounting in machine centers, BRM’s NamPower family of brush tools includes abrasive disc brushes, abrasive hex-drive tools, and composite hub wheels. As visitors to Booth 1812 at WESTEC 2013 will learn, NamPower nylon abrasive brushes also feature a unique cooling system that promotes tool life.  

Tough but flexible, NamPower commercial brushes are made with filaments that are both moisture and chemical resistant. With their dense, uniform fill, these abrasive nylon brushes conform closely to part contours, wiping and filing across part edges and part surfaces. BRM’s newest NamPower video, How to Automate Deburring and Surface Finishing, shows examples that can benefit manufacturers who make auto parts, appliances, and other industrial and commercial components.
