Welding is used in many industries. In tank and container construction, vehicle superstructures, wagon construction, shipyards, pipeline construction - stable, permanent joints are essential everywhere. And this can only be achieved if the work is done cleanly. A botched seam can have far-reaching consequences and is relevant to safety.
Welding is used in many industries. In tank and container construction, vehicle superstructures, wagon construction, shipyards, pipeline construction - stable, permanent joints are essential everywhere. And this can only be achieved if the work is done cleanly. Botched seams can have far-reaching consequences and are relevant to safety. The use of quality tools, careful work and many years of experience are the best basis for approaching joining by welding correctly.
Regardless of the welding process used (TIG, MIG, MAG, plasma, electrodes), welders resort to surface preparation tools when chamfering the edge, preparing the weld zone or cleaning the welding layers.
Welding professionals know their craft and usually do not need to make corrections. In addition to proper technique, cleaning is key to removing slag inclusions between weld beads or spatter before applying the next weld ply. Bond defects, cracks or overlap? Then it may be necessary to grind out weld ply or level welds.
Osborn ATB Helituf™ Internal Brushes are designed with high-quality nylon filament embedded with durable Silicon Carbide and unique helix design to provide efficient internal surface cleaning and deburring action. Helituf™ brushes should only be used with suitable holders and fully chucked.
Featuring rectangular nylon strips impregnated with tough Aluminum Oxide, Osborn’s ATB™ Rectangular Filament Internal Brush provides a highly efficient side-sweeping action across the surface. Filament shape applies approximately 18 times more abrasive contact than traditional round filaments. Aluminum Oxide ensures a superior finish and prolonged brush life.
Osborn’s flexible ATB Fascut™ Wheel Brushes feature long trim, flexible Round Crimped Silicon Carbide or Round Ceramic nylon abrasive filaments. Designed with moderate density, this brush is ideal for applications requiring a high degree of conformability. High-quality materials and construction offer the industry’s longest brush life.
Osborn’s aggressive ATB Fascut™ Wheel Brush is designed with short trim, premium nylon filament that is impregnated with abrasive material. Features high density, uniformly distributed Round Crimped Silicon Carbide or Round Ceramic filaments for increased aggression, minimum cycle time, and the industry’s longest brush life.
Osborn’s ATB Uni-Lok® Turbo Disc Brush features Round Crimped abrasive filaments in a unique turbo design to effectively tackle moderate to severe burrs or tasks where conformability is required. When used in dry applications, turbo design draws air into the brush face to run cooler. When used in wet applications, the turbo design allows more coolant to flow within the brushing surface.
Designed to tackle the most demanding of applications, Osborn’s ATB Uni-Lok® Max Density Disc Brushes deliver maximum aggression and reliable, uniform performance. Brushes feature max density, premium quality Round Crimped abrasive nylon filament, making them capable of processing large burrs on stainless steel and hardened alloys without altering the part’s dimension. Expertly designed and tested for minimal cycle time and exceptional brush life.
Constructed with a durable polypropylene base and a dense configuration of strategically located tufts, Osborn ATB Uni-Lok® Tuftmatic™ Disc Brushes offer thorough, uniform performance in both dry and wet applications. Each tuft features high-quality nylon filaments impregnated with Silicon Carbide, and is configured to allow abrasive filaments to flow evenly and consistently over the most intricate flat-faced parts. Compatible with Osborn’s Uni-Lok® adapter system and designed for maximum effectiveness.
Osborn’s ATB Uni-Lok® Quick Change Brushes feature a permanently mounted ¼” shank for quick, convenient attachment to CNC machines, automatic equipment, portable tools, and robotic cells. These small diameter brushes feature premium-quality nylon filament with choice of Round Crimped Silicon Carbide or Round Ceramic abrasive to serve a variety of deburring needs. The unique composite design allows for “touching” of surrounding raised surfaces without harming the part or the brush. Designed and tested for longevity and uniformity.
This small diameter crimped wire brush is designed to tackle a wide variety of internal cleaning jobs. Available with choice of steel or stainless steel filament for use on hand tools, drill presses and power tools, Osborn Wire Spiral Tube Brushes are designed for optimal performance and longevity.
Constructed of premium steel or stainless steel filament in a variety of brush diameters, Osborn Crimped Wire Tube Brushes offer exceptional internal cleaning and surface preparation capabilities. Double stem and double spiral design offers ruggedness and versatility, and can be used as a hand tool, mounted in a drill press, or on a portable power tool.
This high quality Osborn brush features the versatility of a crimped wire tube brush with the added strength of TY™ elastomer encapsulation. The green (standard duty) elastomer supports wire strands to provide a stronger brushing action and longer brush life. Ideal for internal cleaning, imperfection removal and surface preparation.
Designed with a double stem and double spiral for strength, this Brass Wire Tube Brush offers increased strength for more difficult internal cleaning jobs. Premium brass wire fill provides uniform performance when used as a hand tool, on a drill press, or on portable power tools. Ideal for mold cleaning and cleaning/deburring aluminum motor mounts.
