XEBEC BrushTM Surface Instruction Manual
Read this instruction manual before using this product. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
This instruction manual must be kept in the vicinity of the machine at all times so that it is accessible to the operator.

Operator Safety Protection

Precautions for Use

Use of protective equipment

Installation onto a machining center orother machine

Wear personal protective gear including goggles, masks, gloves, andearmuffs to prevent loss of sight, injury, or lung damage caused by damaged
parts flying off the product. Wear clothing with long sleeves or otherclothing that does not expose the skin, and fasten the cuffs and hems tightly.

 When the product is used with precision machining equipment, thereis the risk that cutting particles may have an adverse effect on theequipment sliding parts. Be sure to properly collect cutting particles
and perform washing.
WARNING: When chucking, slide the sleeve shank onto thechuck (collet, float holder, etc.) of the machining equipment
securely all the way to the base. (The sleeve flange end shoulddirectly contact the chuck.)
If not inserted all the way to the base when chucked, vibration
during machining may cause breakage of the sleeve shank. Thereis the risk that this may cause operator loss of sight or injury.
 When installing, use a chuck that is correct for the shank diameter.
 Install and use on machining equipment that can control the rotational
speed and the depth of cut. The motor output of the rotating shaft
where the brush is attached must be 4.0 kW or more for brush
diameters of ø60 and must be 6.0 kW for brush diameters of ø100.

Attention to the work area

 Install an enclosure so that persons other than the operator do not enter the work area,and ensurethatall persons,if any, in the work areaare wearingprotectiveequipment.
 In particular be careful that children do not enter the work area.
 Keep the floor of the work area clean at all times to prevent the risk of slipping ortripping on dust, cuttingparticles, oil, water, or other substance.
 There is the risk of fire caused by heating, sparks, or other factor resulting fromuse of the product. Do not use the product close to a flammable liquid or in an
explosive atmosphere. Also be sure to enact fire prevention measures.

Precaution regarding cutting particles

Fragments, cutting particles, and other substances generated during work
will be scattered into the surrounding area. Be sure to use a dust collector orother means to collect them.

Sleeve flange end

Pre-Work Check

Perform test operation for 1 minute or more before starting work, andfor 3 minutes or more after the machine tool or product was changed,
and check that there is no looseness, vibration, or other abnormality ofthe machine and the part where the product is installed.

Sleeve shankFeatures After cutting process, this product removes burrs with the burr root thickness of 0.2 mm or less. It is also ideal for cutter mark removal and surface polishing.
 The tip of the bristle remove burrs and finish the edges.
 CNC deburring and cutter mark removal can be achieved by installing onto a machining center, robot, drilling machine, or other machining equipment.
(Can be installed on machining equipment with a collet chuck, milling chuck, drill chuck, or similar means.)
 The original brush material (ceramic fibers) enables consistent deburring and polishing capability without changes to the cutting performance or brushshape. The abrasive material is ceramic fiber that contains no abrasive grains at all.
 The product can be used for both dry and wet machining.

How to Use
Correct depth of cut and grinding load

 If used with an excessive depth of cut or grinding load, the optimal effects
will not be achieved and there will be significant progress of wear andbreakage of the fiber material, resulting in shorter tool life.
 The product is most effective when machining with the tip of the bristle.
 When polishing flat parts with the End-Type, use it with a depth of cut of
1mm or less. When using it by hands, use it with cutting load of 2N or less.
Do not use exceeding the upper limit of the depth of cut.
 With a brush diameter of φ6 (CB06M), the depth of cut for A11, A21 andA31 should be 0.5mm or less, and that of A32 should be 0.3mm or less.

Adjustment of bristle length, rotational
speed, and the depth of cut

 As the length of the bristle becomes shorter as a result of use, the bristle
stiffness increases, grinding power rises, and conformability decreases.
Adjust the grinding power and conformability by reducing the rotational
speed and the depth of cut.
 If burrs are not removed, increase the rotational speed and the depth of cut. If
excessive removal occurs, reduce the rotational speed and the depth of cut.

Truing, dressing

If the brush shape deforms as a result of use, rotate the brush while gently
pressing it onto an diamond disc blade to correct the shape.

Maximum rotational speed / Maximum brush projection

 A sleeve (outer cylinder) is installed around the product in order to adjust the brush projection amount from the sleeve and adjust the flexibility andconformability. Be sure to install the dedicated sleeve for use with XEBEC Brush Surface.
A sleeve is not used with products that have a product code starting with EB (top rows in the table), and which have a brush diameter of ø5 or less.
 A longer amount of brush projection increases flexibility and conformability, while a shorter amount of brush projection reduces flexibility andconformability.
 Use within the ranges for rotational speed and brush projection shown in the table below.
