How to Select

Grinding power differs depending on brush color. All Xebec brushes are made from the same proprietary ceramic fibers manufactured into rods, or bristles, of different thicknesses. The greater the bristle thickness, the more aggressive the cutting action. Refer to the chart below and select brush color based on the workpiece material and burr root thickness.

How to Choose Brush Color

Target Burr Size

Burr Root Thickness of 0.008” or less (Burrs can be bent with a fingernail)

How to Choose Brush Size

Select a brush size based on workpiece size and shape, interfering objects such as jigs, attachable tool length and cycle time.

It is recommended to use a brush size which is 1.5 to 2 times wider than the width of the surface of the workpiece. This allows the brush to engage the edge at 90 degrees for optimal grinding power. Using a larger brush than the surface width will also require the fewest number of passes and minimize cycle time.

Structures of Xebec Ceramic Fiber

The XEBEC Brush™ uses abrasive ceramic fiber material instead of abrasive grain. One single bristle consists of 500 -1,000 ceramic fibers that works as cutting edges, providing excellent cutting ability.

The XEBEC ceramic fiber has 3 features that enable CNC deburring & polishing:

  • Unsurpassed Grinding Power
  • Consistent Cutting Performance
  • No Deformation

Strength 1: Unsurpassed Grinding Power

Our uniquely developed ceramic fibers themselves are the abrasives and its fiber content ratio is over 80%. Cutting edges that are made up from the tip of each fiber bristle create unsurpassed grinding power.

XEBEC Brush™ has 60 times higher grinding power compared with nylon brushes and steadily removes burrs.

Strength 2: Consistent Grinding Power to the End

Due to the structure of XEBEC ceramic fiber, new cutting edges are always exposed. The brush maintains consistent cutting performance to the end, enabling CNC deburring and polishing

Strength 3: No Deformation

XEBEC Brush™ maintains its straight shape and does not spread out like a toothbrush even after repeated use. Thus, it is ideal for CNC deburring and polishing in mass production line.

Amazing Polishing Power

XEBEC Brush™ is made of ceramic fiber bristle which was developed for mold polishing. Its high grinding power improves surface roughness in a short time.
Best achievable surface roughness Ra=0.1μm (Rz = 0.4μ)

Target

Instruction Manual

XEBEC Brush™ has high grinding power on the tip. The brush tip needs to be in contact with the processing area. Both vertical and horizontal burrs after drilling or end milling can be removed by setting up the depth of cut.
Avoid coming into contact with a protruding part because it may damage a brush.

Applicable Equipment

It is necessary to control the rotation speed to use XEBEC Brush™. The tool can be used on machining centers, combined lathes, robots, special machines, and drilling machines.

Assembly

XEBEC Brush™ Surface and XEBEC Sleeve are separate items. Two hexagon socket set screws are included with the sleeve. Attach the brush to the sleeve and fix it with the set screws from both sides.

Process Conditions

Set the processing conditions depending on the purpose: deburring or cutter mark removal and polishing.

Deburring

Set the following 5 conditions:

  • Rotation Speed
  • Depth of Cut
  • Feed Rate
  • Brush Projected (the length of the brush projected from the sleeve)
  • Direction of Brush Rotation

Rotation Direction

Rotational direction of the brush has significant impact on the deburring capability.

For burrs in horizontal direction (i.e. side burr) generated after milling, the machining must be done by up cutting whereby the brush pushes upward against the burrs from the bottom.

When down cutting, there is a possibility that the burrs may not be removed properly because the burrs being bent and stuck to the surface.

For vertical burrs (i.e. top burrs), there is no significant difference by rotation direction.

Initial Processing Conditions

Set the initial conditions according to burr direction (top burr or side burr) and burr size (root thickness burr).

If burrs remain, increase the rotation speed to the upper limit.

If burrs still remain, then decrease the feed rate.

If the workpiece cannot be deburred even by the 2 above-mentioned procedures, the machining condition may be incorrect or the burr size is too large.

To extend tool life/If the edge is too rounded: Decrease the rotation speed in increments of 1,000min-1. If tool life or edge quality is still not improved, the machining conditions or the brush color may not be appropriate.

The grinding power of the brush is in the order of: Red < White < Blue.

Truing

When the brush is worn out unevenly, you can form the tip of the brush using a diamond disc blade. Use drilling machine or lathe.

Truing by Drilling Machine

Truing by Lathe

If you want to cut off the brush, cut from the side of the brush using a diamond disc blade and sever it.

Operator Safety Measures

For Protective Equipment

Always wear protective goggles, gloves and masks when operating the tool. Wear long sleeves, tight cuff, and clothing to minimize skin exposure.

Beware of Grinding Powder

Grinding powder and burrs may scatter within an area around the work as the brush revolves; please stay clear of this area.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

The area around your work is hazardous in case flying pieces of fiber rods from the tools and grinding powder may scatter, enclose your working area to prevent other people entering, or have the people surrounding your work area protective equipment as well.

Warning

By not following the above safety measures, you are vulnerable to the following risks:

  • A tool or a part of a tool may crack, drop off, distort or break.
  • Broken pieces of a tool or grinding dust may stick into your skin and eyes, causing irritation and/or blindness.
  • Dust generated by machining process may cause allergic reactions.
Does it contain abrasive grains?

No, it does not. The ceramic fibers work as abrasive materials.

How do you use it?

For the cup type, attach the shank of the sleeve to an automatic tool changer (ATC) on a machining center or other equipments. Then rotate the tool and remove burrs after cutting work on machine. It can also be used with robots, special machines and drilling machines.
For the end type, attach the tool to an electric tool (or machine tool). It can not be used with a pneumatic tool.

What size of burrs can be removed?

The tool aims to remove burrs with the size that can be bent by pushing one’s fingernail against it.

Is it possible to chamfer or make a corner R portion?

The cup type brush can be used for chamfering or rounding an edge.

Can it be used for wet machining?

The tool can be used for both dry and wet (both oil-based and water-soluble) machining.
Wet machining may improve surface finish quality and tool life.

Are there any negative effects on the surface from using the brush?

The brush is capable of surface finishing, and it can improve surface roughness to around Ra=0.1μm. XEBEC Brush™ is developed by applying the technology for XEBEC ceramic stone which is used for mold polishing. It does not contain any abrasive grains,thus the brush does not leave any scratches on the surface. However,depending on the pattern of the brush, there are cases where the appearance looks a little cloudy on aluminum surface which was finished with a diamond cutter.

What is the finishing quality of the brush in terms of grit?

XEBEC Brush™ does not define the grits. It is capable of finishing the surface up to around Ra=0.1μm.

How long is the tool life?

Tool life significantly varies depending on machining conditions, burr condition (size and direction) and workpiece material.
In one case study, where the tool was used for deburring after milling of an oil pan with 1m circumference (material:aluminum), a single brush lasted for 10,000 workpieces (straight line distance of 10,000m=10km)

Example:
Workpiece: Oil Pan (automotive engine part)
Material: Aluminum
Cutting process: 1m / piece
Result: 10,000 workpieces / brush (total length 10km)

Can the tool be used manually?

The end type brush can be used for hand work. However, the cup type brush can not be used manually because it judders violently. Furthermore, the appropriate depth of cut cannot be kept when using the cup type manually, so deburring and polishing cannot be done suitably.

How should I clean the brush?

Remove the attached dust or coolant by blowing air, etc.

What are the truing and dressing methods?

You can form a brush using a diamond disc blade.

Is it possible to regrind (truing) or re-embed the brush?
You can regrind the brush by forming it using a diamond disc blade. We do not offer regrinding or re-embedding services.
 
Is it possible to purchase just the sleeve-fastening screw?

Yes, it is possible. XEBEC’s genuine parts are recommended. Contact us for the details.

The tip of the sleeve is thinning. Why?

The inner part of the tip of the sleeve is worn out and become thinner as it is gradually ground by the sides of the brush over a long period of use. Replace the sleeve.
It is possible to purchase the outer cylinder of the sleeve alone. Contact us for the details.

Can you produce a tool with shorter tool length?

It is possible to produce a brush that is shorter than the standard specification. However, it is not possible to provide shorter metal parts (i.e. sleeve, shank).

Do you handle special order products?
Yes, we provide services such as extension of bristle length and modification of the brush tip shape. Please contact us for more information.
