Tokyo, Japan — September 19, 2025 — XEBEC Technology Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Norihiko Sumiyoshi) will display a unique solution for automated deburring on CNC lathes at EMO Hannover 2025.

XEBEC Brush™ Turning is the first practical application of ceramic fiber brush technology for deburring on CNC lathes. It does not require live tooling and is mounted on the turret alongside other turning tools. Removing burrs on the same machine as facing and turning operations realizes important time and cost savings. It also eliminates the variable quality and danger inherent to manual deburring, particularly when the operator must reach into a moving machine to deburr by hand.
XEBEC Brush Turning is ideal for removing fine burrs no thicker than 0.1 mm. The tool is pulled in the x-axis away from the main spindle when facing and pulled in the z-axis away from the main spindle when ID or OD deburring. Brushes are available in three bristle variants (A11 Red, A21 White, and A32 Blue) with varying stiffness and two sizes (φ2.5 mm and φ6 mm). The tool consists of a reusable shank and a brush, which must be replaced when the usable bristle length is reached. Typical applications are deburring of crossholes and threads.

The square shank type can be set to eleven different brush angles, as needed to avoid tool collision.

The round shank version is 11 mm high, enabling 12 mm bores and ID threads to be deburred. The brush angle of the round shank type is fixed at 20 degrees. This shallow angle (close to horizontal) allows the brush’s flexible fibers to deburr discontinuous surfaces such as crossholes. The small brush (φ2.5 mm) can negotiate crossholes up to 3 mm in diameter. The large brush (φ6 mm) can be used to deburr any size crosshole.
