[Problem] To address the problem of conventional old wood texture or antique taste boards which lack natural looking worn effects and present an appearance of an artificial treatment applied thereto. [Solution] Unlike a conventional configuration in which the rotary shaft of a roll brush is simply and fixedly arranged parallel to the wood grains of a board to which surface treatment is applied or the painted surface where paint is applied to the wood grains, the rotary shaft may be obliquely set to any angle including a right angle, and may be rotationally driven at high speed at a given inclined angle relative to the horizontal surface of the board along a left to right direction of the roll brush. This makes different “contact strength” of a roll brush such as a metal brush obliquely applied to each right and left end of the board, thereby causing the inclined roll brush to peel off the wood grains or the painted surface where paint is applied to the wood grains with difference strengths for each end of the board. This makes it possible to implement “uzukuri” (brushing process) with different designs presented along a left to right direction of the board.

A substrate processing method includes polishing a target surface of a substrate to be polished by moving a polishing brush in a horizontal direction while pressing the polishing brush against the polishing target surface of the substrate which rotates in a horizontal posture around a vertical axis. The polishing is performed while varying a rotation speed of the substrate and a moving speed of the polishing brush such that the rotation speed of the substrate decreases stepwise or continuously and the moving speed of the polishing brush in a radial direction of the substrate decreases stepwise or continuously as a distance from a center of rotation of the substrate measured in the radial direction of the substrate to a center of the polishing brush increases.

Flexible automatic deburring device

The disclosure relates to the technical field of deburring in machining, in particular to a flexible automatic deburring device, comprising a main body support, a lifting assembly, a rotary burr brushing assembly and positioning and clamping assemblies. The lifting assembly can move up and down to adapt to inner cavities of workpieces with different depths, springs are arranged on the bottom surfaces of brush holders, so that brushes can float up and down to adapt to hubs with different spoke inner cavity shapes, and it is guaranteed that the brushes make contact with spoke inner cavities all the time; in this way, hubs with the same size but different shapes can use the same brush mechanism, it is unnecessary to prepare brushes suitable for all wheel types, thus greatly reducing the workload of replacing deburring brushes, saving the storage space in a workshop and increasing the burr brushing flexibility.

BRUSH ASSEMBLY

A brush assembly has a brush holder rotatable about a rotation axis, a ring brush carried on the holder and having an annular array of radially outwardly projecting bristles, and a stop element fixed adjacent the ring brush, of noncircular section. This stop element extends along and is rotatable about a longitudinal axis generally parallel to the rotation axis and projects into the array of bristles.
