New Burr-Rx Brushes From Weiler: The Most Aggressive Line Of Compliant Brushing Tools Available

Cresco, PA - Introducing the ultimate in high aggression, compliant deburring tools - the newly enhanced Burr-Rx brush. The latest addition to Weiler's Nylox abrasive filament product line, Burr-Rx brushes now utilize advanced filament technology, resulting in maximum aggression. The black nylon filaments are co-extruded with high aggression ceramic grains, providing cut rates up to 400% faster than standard silicon carbide filaments!

The extreme aggression of Burr-Rx brushes reduces cycle times by allowing the use of high feed rates and short dwell times, resulting in increased throughput and lower deburring costs. In addition, Burr-Rx brushes can remove burrs that were previously impossible to remove with conventional nylon abrasive filament brushes.

The Burr-Rx disc brush can be mounted in CNC machines directly onto a shell mill holder - a separate drive arbor is not required! All disc brushes are also manufactured using a new process which results in a very consistent, flat brush face in comparison to molded backed discs. The high dimensional precision of these new tools equates to more consistency from first part to last.

The Burr-Rx composite metal hub wheels offer a 50% higher filament density than traditional metal hub brushes - the highest in the marketplace. Constructed with a steel shell, these brushes provide increased accuracy and dimensional stability to ensure consistent, efficient performance with minimal vibration during use. Additionally, the brushes are produced with a two-inch bore, which allows for direct mounting on equipment without any need for adapters.

Ceramic grain Burr-Rx brushes are especially well-suited for deburring materials such as inconel, stainless steel and titanium and are also available in stem-mounted wheel, mini disc brushes and banded end brush configurations.
