A method for the manufacture of scrubbing brushes and/or painting brushes is provided, in which a processing pressure exerted by a processing tool (3, 4) onto a bristle holder (5) to be processed is determined by a pressure sensor (6), which has a pressure-recording surface (7), which is arranged behind the bristle holder (5) to be processed, in the operating direction of the processing tool (3, 4). In this manner, determination of the processing pressure is possible close to the bristle holder (5) to be processed.

In the technical field of the production of brush production machines (1), a construction kit for the production of brush production machines (1) is inter alia provided. This modular construction kit includes at least one basic module type (2a) and a deflection module type (3a), the modules (2, 3) thereof having standardized connection interfaces 5 by which the modules (3) are inter-coupleable to form a brush production machine (1). Since each of the modules (2, 3, 4) is coupleable to each module of the different module types (2a, 3a, 4a), a large number of different brush production machines (1) can be configured by way of this construction kit, without a particular constructive effort being required to this end.
