Strucutre 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
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)
Applicable Equipment
It is necessary to control the spindle speed and the depth of cut to use XEBEC Brush™ Wheel Type.
- Machining center: milling chuck holder, collet chuck holder
- Milling lathe: milling holder for X-axis and Z-axis
- Robot, etc
Assembly
How to Engage
From the top view, the best approach is to place a center of a brush at the center angle to the edge. (Figure 1)
Burrs on Face A and B can be both removed.
Edge quality becomes stable if a brush is rotated in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.
Brush position on Figure 2 is effective for burrs on Face A in the same way as Figure 3 for burrs on Face B.
Dry or 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 too life.
Demo
Macro Program
To use the XEBEC Brush™ Wheel Type, the depth of cut must be kept small. It is necessary to offset the wear amount in a radial direction.
Use a macro program or manually offset the wear amount. Refer to the example below.

*1 As bristles are worn out, bristle length becomes shorter and increases shiftness, causing bristles to be broken. If bristles breakage occurs, decrease the depth of cut.
*The processing conditions differ depending on the state of burrs. Make adjustments according to the quality of the workpiece.
If burrs remain:
- Increase the number of passes
- Then, decrease the feed rate
To extend tool life:
- Increase the feed rate
If burrs are too large:
- Use multiple passes as described below
- Gradually move the brush closer to the bottom of burrs; increase the depth of cut step by step
- Trying to remove burrs in 1 pass may cause excessive tool wear, tool breakage or burrs may not be removed
- Calculate the maximum height of burrs before using the tool
