Seeking to provide its customers with high-quality products for the finishing of natural stone, Cepilleria Catalana, S.L. (Cepicat) of Barcelona, Spain, is adopting DuPont™ Tynex A abrasive filaments for its industrial brushes.

They were selected for their consistent and long-term performance in providing a range of finishes for natural stone. Cepicat recently exhibited its full range of products for the stone processing industry, including those featuring Tynex® A, at the international stone exhibition in Verona, Italy.

Tynex® A abrasive filaments are sold to brush makers for fabrication in many sizes and configurations of industrial brush tools and floor care brushes. Typical applications include deburring and scrubbing printed circuit boards; radiusing and deburring aluminum and steel parts and gears; sanding and finishing wood; and, stripping, scrubbing, and buffing floors

The advance brand of brushes includes stringer bead, full cable twist knot, encapsultaed wheel, cup, scratch chip and dauber brushes and welders toothbrushes.

ITMA - the International Exhibition of Textile Machinery - has been held every four years since 1951. It is the world´s largest international textile and garment machinery exhibition, an event which is owned by CEMATEX. ITMA is recognised as the Olympics of the textile and garment machinery industry.

Let innovation drive your business at ITMA 2011
At ITMA, cutting-edge solutions for the entire textile-making chain goes on show. Leading names in the textile and garment machinery manufacturing converge at this must-attend platform every four years.

ITMA 2011 will continue to be the global marketplace and networking industry platform: • a world-class, one-stop solutions showcase for the whole textile-making process • a place for gathering business intelligence and best practices • a gathering of industry leaders for outstanding business and networking opportunities
Organised by MP International Pte Ltd, ITMA 2011 will take place from 22 to 29 September 2011 at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via.

Opening Hours

Synthetic diamond can be synthesised using techniques, which emulate the natural geological growth of diamond.

This involves using high pressure/high temperature (HPHT) synthesis process, which converts the soft graphite carbon into the very hard crystalline form of carbon - diamond (crystallisation) or direct conversion using explosives to generate short duration pressure and temperature shock waves.

An alternative method is chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Various industries take advantage of diamonds remarkable physical properties.

Principal mechanical applications are sawing, drilling, grinding, cutting, lapping and polishing.

Brush used on automatic machines for antiquing and satin granite, ceramic and agglomerate. We can supply in 3 measures, 130mm, 140mm and 170mm. We can hardener the brush with epoxi resin.

Deburring is understood as treating the surface with various methods such as chemical, thermal, electrical and mechanical deburring.

Traditional mechanical deburring processes are hand deburring, smoothing, belt grinding and brushing.
In belt grinding, metal surfaces are machined with continuous grinding belts. The grinding belt is driven by the contact roller and tensioned by the tensioning roller. Depending on abrasive grain (e.g. Al2O3 or SiC) and according to grinding belt grain size, the most diverse of problems are mastered. This includes repair grinding of stainless steel strips, removal of oxide layers on hardened steel strips, improving the flatness and structuring of surfaces.

In brushing, metal surfaces are machined with rotating brushes. According to the edging, e.g. steel wire, nylon, PP or abrasive brushes, the most diverse of problems are mastered. This includes roughening metal surfaces before plating, brushing off loose scale, removal of oxide layers or purposeful structuring of surfaces.

In belt polishing, the metal surface is machined with rotating polishing heads while using a polishing paste.
The polishing heads normally consist of steel wire, natural fibre (e.g. sisal) or cotton. By selecting a
suitable polishing paste and appropriate polishing heads, the most diverse of problems are mastered.

This includes the removal of oxide layers from hardened steel strips, improvement of roughness and generating  highly-polished surfaces.

In mechanical deburring and polishing, just like anywhere else, the result often depends on know-how and selecting the most effective and inexpensive process.

When machining stamped flat parts, it is possible to remove the burr, which can be seen from the outside with simple belt grinders.

As far as removing sharp edges, burrs and polishing the surface at the same time are concerned, brushing alone or in combination with the belt grinding process are offered.

It is primarily used by us in machining processes and equipment.

The applications of deburring and planetary brushing machines are very varied.

They are mainly used for deburring and surface polishing of special parts, piston rings, car parts, stamped parts, synchronising rings and various components made of steel, aluminium, alloys and other materials.

There are also traditional processes for deburring pipe ends, with internal and external chamfering, or
rounding off with a cutting tool or milling cutter etc., and oblique brushing of a rotating pipe is combined
with oblique movement of the pipes.

We are proud  to communicate that Cepilleria Catalana, S.Lhas achived the Iso 9001: 2008 certifiation for Developmentand Manufacturing of Techincal Brushes.Withthis achivement, we are following our strategy to provive the market with thebest quality products produced ome hundred per cent in Europe.

Brushes for all sweepers and scrubbers on the market. We produce for mainly all machines.These brushes can be filled in steel, Silicon Carbide, Diamond and PP filaments.

Brushing Benefits. The NAF brushing process offers several benefits to the end-user:

During use, sharp new abrasive grains are constantly being replaced as nylon wears against the work surface.

This provides constant brushing action throughout the brush life.

Brushes accommodate various part contours due to their compliance and filament nature.

Compliance accommodates small errors in part positioning and slight variations in part or burr sizes, making them good candidates for robotic and automated workstations. It also prevents damage to value-added components, and hence minimizes/eliminates scrapping of components, unlike rigid tools.

Automation is practical, thereby making deburring and edge-radiusing processes less labor intensive and time consuming. Due to the use of automation, medical conditions such as carpal tunnel and tendinitis can be prevented.

No coolant is required under normal conditions, therefore no waste is produced by the operation, leading to a clean and dry working environment.

Dedicated equipment is not needed because the brushes can be used on standard production machines, robots, and automated workstations.

Operations are possible in a single setup, thereby eliminating the need for additional part handling or refixturing.

No part preparation or post cleaning is required. Generally NAF brushes are a cost-effective replacement for tedious manual methods, non-woven abrasives, mass media finishing, buffs and compounds, abrasive flow/jet machining, air blasting, and thermal and electrochemical deburring methods.
