Combination Abrasive Nylon Disc Brushes
Brush Research Manufacturing abrasive disc brushes contain a combination of ceramic and silicon carbide filament, producing maximum burr removal rates while providing an ideal surface finish at the same time. Manufactured using a fiber reinforced thermoplastic base, the discs deliver less vibration and greater process repeatability. The professional grade toolholder provides the added advantage of lubrication from the inside of the brush that greatly improves tool life and cutting action. The brushes are available in two different styles: Dot Style for general purpose deburring and surface finish applications and the Turbine Style brush for medium and heavy deburring applications. The brushes are available in two different trim lengths for the right combination of flexibility and aggressiveness and three different diameters to cover a broad range of finishing applications.

Vibration Analyzer App
The VibePro is a vibration analyzer app that collects and analyzes vibration signals to an iPad. The iPad using the VibePro application, allowing the user to take readings and leverage the powerful platform of the iPad. The VibeTrend is a simple to use app that stores and graphs overall RMS vibration amplitude levels for condition based maintenance. Users can view vibration amplitude levels in both acceleration (g) and velocity (in/sec) through a free DropBox account.

Metalworking Fluids
The design of Cimtech 610 metalworking fluid is for milling and drilling aerospace aluminum alloy material. Featuring a hybrid blend of patented and synthetic lubricants, Cimtech 610 provides excellent performance on difficult-to-machine ferrous and non-ferrous alloys without corrosion or stain. Its formulation is for use on hard, brittle material such as Inconel, titanium, stainless steel, aerospace alloys, and hardened steel. The fluid also offers good performance without chlorine, sulfur, or phosphorus EP lubricants. Formulated with a near neutral pH, it offers excellent corrosion control on ferrous metals and is non-staining to aluminum and other exotic alloys. It provides exceptional lubricity and extreme pressure (EP) performance, is non-staining on most yellow metals and aluminum, is clean, and washes off parts easily.

Modular CNC Grinding Centers
Micron modular CNC grinding centers feature a compact, ridged design for creep feed-, profile-, and HEDG-grinding applications. They are suitable for applications where there is a need for accurate profiles or slots and close finish requirements such as aircraft engine stationery turbine vanes. The grinding centers use a moving wheel head concept where performance of all linear movements, positioning, and grinding operations are by the grinding head. In addition, a Siemens 840 D CNC control offers up to 5-axis interpolation.
