BRM at IMTS 2012 – Metalworking, Manufacturing, and More

If bigger is better, than size would be reason enough for you to attend IMTS 2012. With more than 82,000 visitors and over 1,800 exhibitors, the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) is one of the world’s largest industrial tradeshows and the largest event of its kind in America. Thinking of walking the show? Then you might want to bring your sneakers, or at least a pair of comfortable shoes. IMTS 2012 spans 1.2 million net square feet of show floor space across 10 pavilions.

U.S. Manufacturing Demands Greater ROI
Deciding whether or not to attend a tradeshow is a bit more complicated than choosing walking shoes. Cost-conscious exhibitors and value-hungry visitors demand a return on their investment (ROI), both in terms of time and money. For American manufacturers, the stakes are high. Efforts to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and encourage re-shoring are underway, but your business has day-to-day concerns all its own. To strengthen the bottom line, you need to find new ways to cut costs and boost efficiency.

How IMTS 2012 Can Help Your Business
IMTS 2012 is the place to find solutions, all under one roof and all at the same time. Interactive sessions examine proven tools and emerging technologies, with a special focus on business development and increased productivity. With the highest concentration of buyers and decision makers in the metal working industry, IMTS 2012 is the place to network with peers, learn about new technologies, and fill your toolbox and your sales pipeline. So put on your walking shoes and visit BRM in Booth N-7263.

Deglazing, Cross-Hole Deburring, and Chamfer Blending
Michael Miller, BRM’s Vice President of Global Sales, will be glad to answer your questions about the Flex-Hone® tool for deglazing, cross-hole deburring, and chamfer blending. This versatile, flexible cylinder hone is ideal for deglazing and refinishing cylinder walls in all types of gasoline and diesel engines. The Flex-Hone® is also great for deburring, the process of removing the raised particles and shavings that are created during metal machining. Additional Flex-Hone® applications include chamfer blending, which removes micro-burrs and stress risers.   

In-Machine Deburring, Edge Radiusing, and Surface Conditioning 
BRM will also showcase its NamPower™ family of brush tools at IMTS 2012. These high-performance brush tools for in-machine deburring, edge radiusing, and surface conditioning are easily integrated into both manual and automated finishing machinery, including CNC machining centers, transfer lines, and robotic cells. Industrial applications for NamPower™ abrasive disc brushes include extrusion and fine blanketing, appliance manufacturing, and the deburring, cleaning, surface preparation, and resurfacing of plastic and aluminum automotive parts.
