发明名称 Brushing apparatus
摘要 An apparatus for brushing an elongated workpiece as the workpiece moves through the apparatus is particularly useful in removing scale from a rod. The apparatus includes a plurality of brushes which are engageable with the rod. Motors are provided to rotate the brushes. A detector detects the occurrence of brush wear during brushing of the rod. In order to automatically compensate for brush wear, a brush adjustment assembly changes the positions of the brushes relative to the rod in response to the detector detecting the occurrence of brush wear. When a predetermined maximum permissible amount of brush wear is detected, the brushes are automatically retracted away from the workpiece by the brush adjustment assembly. The brush adjustment assembly moves the brushes relative to the workpiece in directions perpendicular to the axes about which the brushes rotate and perpendicular to a longitudinal central axis of the workpiece. During setting up of the apparatus to brush the workpiece, the brush adjustment assembly is operable to change the positions of the brushes to equalize torque loads which are applied to the motors which rotate the brushes.
