A grinding or polishing brush is provided and includes a main body which is rotatable about a central axis and is provided with bristles which extend with their center axes substantially in the direction of the central axis. In order, with such brushes, to permit pin point working, it is proposed that the center axes of the bristles have an inclination in the circumferential direction and/or inward in the radial direction. The effect which can therefore be achieved with the bristles is that they are supported against one another. In order to improve this, the bristles can be provided in an axial portion with film elements connecting them. The film elements may be able to come apart depending on wear.

A device for removing burrs from a flange face of a wheel is composed of a frame, guide posts, a feeding cylinder, a lifting table, a servo motor I, a bolt hole soft brush I, a center support, a servo motor II, a bolt hole soft brush II, a center hole soft brush, a transverse chute, longitudinal chutes, drainage channel soft brushes and the like. The zigzag shape of the drainage channel soft brushes can be adjusted to match the shape of flange drainage channels by adjusting the positions of the movable shaft I, the movable shaft II), the movable shaft III, the movable shaft IV and the movable shaft V in the chutes.

A multi-step conditioning process includes an initial step of preparation (i.e., pre-conditioning) and a subsequent step of restoration (i.e., conditioning and polishing intermittently, in situ conditioning, or combinations thereof). An example of such an enhancement is achieved using a CMP pad conditioner brush-and-abrasive hybrid that has a combination of brush bristles and abrasive elements. The abrasive elements are readily deployed for pre-conditioning as the brush bristles are pressed (flexed) so that they are not in use. And the brush bristles are readily deployed for conditioning during pad restoration as less downforce is applied to the conditioner. Thus, a universal hybrid conditioner is capable of alteration of its aggressiveness without physically changing a conditioner on a polisher tool.

A wheel shape follow-up burr brushing device is composed of lower guide posts, lower cylinders, a first lifting table, a first servo motor, a lower rotating table, back cavity brush adjustment cylinders, I-shaped sliding blocks, a concave block, front brush adjustment cylinders and the like. The heights of brushes are adjusted, so that the contour formed by six brushes can be consistent with the back cavity of a wheel in shape, and the brushes follow up the shape of the back cavity of the wheel; the inclination angle of the brush and the depth of the brush entering the groove can be adjusted, so that the brush follows up the shape of a spoke root groove; and the heights of the brushes can be adjusted to match the shape of the front of the wheel, so that the brushes follow up the shape of the front of the wheel.

A rotating tool includes a tool body including a polishing tool and a shank, and a flange part provided in the tool body. The polishing tool includes a plurality of linear grinding members and a grinding member holder to hold the linear grinding members. The flange part is an annular member, and attached to the grinding member holder, so as to be movable in the direction of an axial line and rotatable about the axial line. When the inner circumferential surface of a hole formed in a workpiece is processed, the grinding member holder and the annular member are inserted into the hole. When run-out on the front side of the rotating tool occurs, the annular member comes into contact with the peripheral wall surface of the hole, whereby the run-out of the tool body is reduced.

A polishing brush (1) includes a brush-shaped grindstone (12) holding grinding element bundles (11) of wire-shaped grinding elements (27) in an annular shape and a grinding element displacement-restricting member (13) for restricting displacement of the grinding element bundles (11) outward. The brush-shaped grindstone (12) has a grinding element holder (15) holding the base end portions (upper end portions) of the grinding element bundles (11). The grinding element displacement-restricting member (13) has an annular part (33) surrounding the wire-shaped grinding elements (27) from the outer peripheral side at a position between the tip ends of the wire-shaped grinding elements (27) and the grinding element holder (15) in the direction of the axis of center of rotation (L) and at a distance away from the tip ends of the wire-shaped grinding elements (27) and the grinding element holder (15). Since the portions on the side closer to the grinding element holder (15) of the grinding element bundles (11) held in the grinding element holder (15) are exposed outward, cutting fluid or air supplied from the outer peripheral side of the polishing brush (1) easily reaches the polished portion of a workpiece.

A rotary brush configured to isolate vibration during use reducing vibration at a hand-held power tool to which the brush is coupled. The brush has wires arrangeable in tufts extending from a hub sandwiched between two plates assembled to a tool coupling having an isolator therebetween. The isolator and coupling are part of a vibration-isolating assembly having a radial isolator carried by a coupling shaft located between the (i) shaft, and (ii) hub and plates preventing brush vibration from being transmitted to the tool through a coupling end of the shaft mounting the brush to the tool. The isolating assembly preferably includes an axial isolator between (i) each flange and (ii) the hubs and plates. Isolators are made of vibration dampening material and can be formed into a single isolator of one-piece unitary construction. A preferred brush is a cup brush having plates contoured to define wire supporting cups.

A tool for fine machining surfaces has a working medium carrier with a top face and a bottom face, wherein the bottom face is an attachment side. A set of individual exchangeable strip-shaped lamella holders are provided that each have one or more lamellas in individual or bundled arrangement. The lamellas each are oriented away from the attachment side of the working medium carrier and form in a downward direction remote from the attachment side a common working plane. The lamella holders on a side facing the attachment side are provided with first hooking members and the attachment side of working medium carrier is provided with second hooking members complementary to the first hooking members. The first and second hooking members are joined to each other in a direction perpendicular to the attachment side.

The present invention provides a burr removing device for a wheel. The device comprises a rotary lifting system, a brush moving system, a manipulator system, a clamping drive system and the like. The device can effectively remove burrs on back cavities of wheels with different diameters, the size of the brush moving system can be automatically adjusted, and the angle of a brush I can be flexibly adjusted; meanwhile, the device has the characteristics of high automation degree, advanced process, good removal effect and high safety and stability.

A wiping system for a robotic repair unit is presented that includes a motive robot arm with a motor, a connection mechanism coupled to the motive robot arm, and a wiping medium coupled to the connection mechanism. The wiping medium includes a base layer and a plurality of features extending from the base layer. The motive robot arm, powered by the motor, moves the wiping medium. The motive robot arm is configured to move the wiping medium toward, or away from, a worksurface. The motive arm is configured to press the wiping medium toward the worksurface during a wiping operation. During the wiping operation, the wiping medium is driven by a wiping motor against the surface.
