As part of the move to brush automation for the deburring process, Tanis, Inc. recently released patent pending wheel brush adapters and will show them at FABTECH this November. The new product provides another reason to move from manual deburring to automated deburring, and is specifically designed for abrasive nylon wheel brushes, where the adapter not only provides a means of attachment, but also strengthens the core of the brush. Companies are increasingly moving their manual deburring operations into the machining center, taking efficiency to the next level and adding a bundle of other benefits. But it’s still a relatively young trend, and the brush industry is developing tools to support automating brushes. Up until now, wheel brushes, great tools for deburring crevices and contoured surfaces, have not had a good method of attachment to a shell mill holder. The problem is that wheel brushes are designed with filament set radially on a core, without a solid base for traditional adapter attachment, so it is susceptible to tearing and decreased brush life.
