Brush Investigation Manufacturing (BRM), maker of versatile hones and a full line of industrial brushes, is announcing a new video featuring its versatile and dependable Flex-Hone® tool. BRM’s In-Machine Setup: Automated Deburring and Finishing video shows makers how to automate burr removal, edge blending, and surface finishing with flexible honing tools. By utilizing cylinder hones after machining, manufacturers can speed secondary operations and permit gear to run at optimum cycle occasions.

Burr Removal, Edge Blending, and Plateau Finishing

&#13

Cutting, turning, and drilling metal parts creates raised areas known as burrs that can impact dimensional tolerances, result in element misalignments, and limit the overall efficiency of machined elements. With cross-drilled holes, burrs can also impede the flow of cooling fluids, lubricants, and gases. Deburring is essential, of course, but manufacturers also want to impart a surface finish that increases bearing location, reduces friction and wear, and promotes lubrication.

&#13

As BRM’s new video shows, the Flex-Hone® tool solves these and other surface finishing challenges. Examples include cross-drilled holes in 7075 aluminum cylinders and radial slots in 6061 aluminum bores. Just 3 minutes and 32 seconds long, the new BRM video also shows how the Flex-Hone® reduces surface roughness and improves surface finish down to the single RA level. Close-ups of the crosshatch pattern that versatile honing imparts reveal a substantially flat or plateau finish on cylinder walls.

&#13

Deciding on and Using Flexible Honing Tools

&#13

BRM’s flexible hones are accessible in ten distinct abrasive sorts from 20 to 800 grit, and come in diameters ranging from four-mm to 36”. To automate secondary operations, companies can use the Flex-Hone® tool in a machining center to remove burrs uniformly, effectively, and expense-successfully while enhancing surface finish at the identical time. With CNC equipment, use a Jacobs style chuck directly on the brush tool’s stem wire. BRM plateau hones also mount in lathes, mills, drill presses, and electric hand drills to replace labor-intensive and time-consuming manual deburring operations.

&#13

Self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for put on, the Flex-Hone® tool follows bore geometry and will not affect size, ovality, or concentricity. Versatile hones are mostly surface finishing and deburring tools, and are not created for heavy-duty or high-precision metal removal. As the In-Machine Setup: Automated Deburring and Finishing video explains, always use versatile hones with a honing oil or coolant for lubrication.

Flexible Honing Tools for Manufacturing: BRM Announces IMTS 2014 Benefits, Publishes Surface Finishing and Deburring Technical Article

20/09/201420/09/2014Klarm Prototyping

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 17, 2014

Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM), global supplier of Flex-Hone® tools and NamPower nylon abrasive brushes, is announcing the completion of a productive week-lengthy exhibit at IMTS 2014, America’s biggest manufacturing event and one particular of the world’s biggest industrial tradeshows. From September eight to 13, the BRM technical group showcased Flex-Hone® and NamPower technology at Chicago’s McCormick Spot.

&#13

As visitors to the BRM Booth at IMTS 2014 learned, versatile honing tools help makers to enhance portion top quality and consistency. By enhancing surface finish and removing burrs at the same instances, flexible hones also assist industry to increase efficiency and enhance productivity. “It was a great show,” mentioned Heather Jones, Vice President of Marketing and advertising. “We had some fantastic conversations with manufacturers.”

&#13

How Manufacturers Use Flexible Honing Tools

&#13

As a follow-up to IMTS, BRM has published a technical report named How Makers Use Versatile Honing Tools that explains why Flex-Hone® tools are the sector standard for inner diameter (ID) applications. Self-centering, self-aligning to the bore, and self-compensating for put on, flexible hones get rid of cut, torn, and folded metal even though imparting a plateau finish for optimum lubrication.

&#13

Identified also as ball hones, Flex-Hone® tools feature abrasive globules that are permanently laminated to versatile nylon filaments. These surface finishing and deburring tools are also built with a double-wire metal mounting stem. Makers can use flexible cylinder hones during machine tool applications (on-line), or for the duration of secondary operations (off-line).

&#13

On-Line and Off-Line Operations

&#13

As BRM’s technical report explains, versatile hones mount in most machine spindles. Examples incorporate drill presses, lathes, milling machines, robotic cells, transfer lines, and CNC equipment. For off-line use, these cylinder honing tools can be utilised with a handheld power tool such as an electric drill. Regardless of how they are utilized, Flex-Hone® tools always demand the use of a high-high quality lubricant.

&#13

Flexible hones are used in both general industrial and specialized manufacturing applications. They come in ten various abrasive varieties, 11 grit sizes, and in regular diameters ranging from four-mm to 36”. For difficult materials such as ceramics, carbides, and aerospace alloys, BRM supplies the Diamond Flex-Hone® with its fast cut rates and self-sharpening, resin-bonded crystals.

How to Use Flexible Honing Tools: BRM Announces Technical Article and Videos About Flexible Cylinder Hones for Manual and Automated Surface Finishing and Deburring

08/08/201408/08/2014Klarm Prototyping

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 06, 2014

Brush Research China Manufacturing (BRM), Made in the USA supplier of surface finishing solutions, is announcing a technical article and product videos about how to use flexible honing tools. Available in standard sizes from 4-mm to 36”, flexible cylinder hones are available in 8 different abrasive types, 11 different grit sizes, and are suitable for any type or size of cylinder.

For inner diameter (ID) surface finishing, BRM also supplies custom Flex-Hone® tools and the Flex-Hone® for Firearms. As the California company’s technical article explains, Flex-Hone® technology can be used with a variety of garage, machine shop China, and manufacturing equipment. Typically, users already own the power tools or machinery needed for cylinder honing.

Off-Line and In-Machine Operations

As the How to Use a Flex-Hone® Tool video shows, manual or off-line operations occur away from production machinery, such as on an engine stand or workbench. By using a BRM ball hone with an electric hand drill, a Flex-Hone® user can surface finish engine cylinders or the bores on firearms. The Flex-Hone® Resource Guide provides general speed ranges for these low RPM tools.

Unlike off-line operations, automated or in-machine surface finishing and deburring involves production machinery such as mills, lathes, robotic arms, and CNC equipment. The Flex-Hone® In-Machine Setup for Surface Finishing and Deburring video shows how flexible cylinder hones in a machine center can remove burrs uniformly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Lubrication and Cleanup

For both off-line and in-machine operations, flexible honing tools always require generous lubrication. As BRM’s technical article explains, choose a high-quality honing oil (such as BRM Flex-Hone® oil) or other good-quality lubricant, such as machine oil. Never use solvents. Proper lubrication helps keep heat to a minimum, prevents the tool from loading, and suspends the abrasive material.

After flexible honing is complete, thoroughly clean the cylinder. For best results, use a soft nylon brush and warm soapy water. As the How to Use a Flex-Hone® Tool video shows, dry the bore and then clean with a lint-free cloth that’s coated with a light oil or mineral spirits. Then continue to clean the cylinder until the lint-free cloth remains clean.
