Automated Deburring in Machining Centers
ATB® disc and round brushes from OSBORN are primarily used for deburring, edge rounding and finishing. They are ideal for deburring edges on flat surfaces, stamped and fine-blanked parts, as well as precision, ground and lapped parts.
Long service life, short machining time, lower process costs
ATB® brushes are manufactured within tight tolerances and do not have to be run in. An interesting feature is the particularly even edge deburring, which does not change the shape of the workpiece. The brush fill is up to 4 times denser than with conventional (punched) brushes and is extremely dimensionally stable because the bristles are firmly cast in the disc and therefore cannot break out. This leads to increased service life and a shorter processing time of the workpiece. The user can thus significantly reduce his process costs.
Many diameters, fill materials and grit sizes
Osborn offers a wide range of ATB® disc and wheel brushes. The diameters range from 50 to 250 mm, whereas abrasive grits like aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, ceramics and diamond can be used (different grit sizes are available). The materials are temperature resistant and can be used in combination with cooling liquids. There are versions with full fill and segmented fill to vary the aggressiveness or flexibility of the brush. Optionally, a flexible support collar, which is guided around the fill material, can provide stability for longer filaments and higher speeds. Coolants and lubricants can be added. Their use is particularly recommended for higher speeds or very thin workpieces.
Use on machining centres
ATB® brushes can be adapted directly to the known tool holders due to the special mounting options. This means e.g. HSK-/SK-tool holders for combination mandrels, collets, surface chucks, etc. This enables the use on machining centers and modern CNC machines, as ATB® brushes can be used under the same conditions as cutting tools. Due to tight manufacturing tolerances, easy adaptation and high deburring performance, ATB® brushes can be used directly after the upstream machining processes and deburr the components directly on the machines. In addition, the brushes are suitable for deburring systems with planetary heads.

Automated Deburring in Machining Centers.
ATB Uni-Lok® Turbo Disc Brush
Osborn’s ATB Uni-Lok® Turbo Disc Brush features Round Crimped abrasive filaments in a unique turbo design to effectively tackle moderate to severe burrs or tasks where conformability is required. When used in dry applications, turbo design draws air into the brush face to run cooler. When used in wet applications, the turbo design allows more coolant to flow within the brushing surface.
ATB™ Tube Brush
Featuring spiral-mounted nylon filaments with abrasive Silicon Carbide grit, Osborn ATB™ Tube Brushes offer extra cutting and cleaning action without sacrificing brush life. Brush can be mounted onto a portable or stationary tool for efficient operation.
ATB™ Microabrasive Internal Brush
Premium high-performance nylon filaments with choice of embedded abrasives offer ultra-fine deburring and cleaning of holes produced by micro drilling. Designed for uniform brushing action that will not alter the hole diameter or surface finish. Can be used manually or on power tools. Constructed for longevity and use on applications requiring absolute precision. Note: brush selected should be ~0.015 inches larger than hole.
ATB™ Miniature End Brush
Osborn ATB™ Miniature End Brushes feature a small diameter for light duty cleaning, deburring, and surface finishing tasks. Brushes are constructed with premium nylon filaments with choice of Aluminum Oxide or Alumina Silicate abrasive.
ATB™ Miniature Wheel Brush
Versatile Osborn ATB™ Miniature Wheel Brushes are designed for uniform performance even when used on extremely hard materials. Each nylon filament is impregnated with choice of tough abrasive for precision ultra-fine deburring and edge contouring.
ATB Uni-Lok® Bridle
Improve the aggressiveness of Osborn’s ATB™ Composite brushes with ATB Uni-Lok® Bridles. Sold in three packs, these Bridles are designed to significantly reduce the flare of filaments to increase rigidity for use on heavy-duty applications. Not for use on ATB™ turbo discs.
ATB Monarch™ Wheel Brush
The highly versatile Osborn ATB Monarch™ Wheel Brush features premium Round Crimped nylon filaments with abrasive Silicon Carbide. Brush is narrow-faced with long trim, making it ideal for confined areas and irregular shapes. Quality materials and construction provides aggressive cutting power without sacrificing longevity.
ATB™ End Brush
Small diameter brush featuring high-performing abrasive nylon filament to quickly and efficiently clean and finish inside diameters, spot facing, and recessed areas. Precision design makes these brushes ideal for operations where balance is critical, as in CNC and robotic use. Attached ¼” stem also allows for use on portable air and electric tools.
ATB™ Cup Brush - Flat Trim
Featuring a precision cut flat trim and premium quality 0.045" x 0.090" rectangular nylon filaments, this Osborn ATB™ Cup Brush is ideal for flat surface finishing and deburring. Brushes are heavily filled with filaments impregnated with choice of Silicon Carbide or Aluminum Oxide and are designed for maximum longevity. Note: 4" brushes include premium quality bridle for maximum filament rigidity.
ATB™ Heavy Duty Internal Deburring Brush
Osborn ATB™ Heavy Duty Internal Deburring Brushes feature a higher filament content and are specifically designed to efficiently tackle the toughest tasks. Flexible crimped nylon filaments feature durable Silicon Carbide abrasive and are manufactured with a helical shape, providing optimal performance in both rotational directions with excellent part conformability.
ATB™ Diamond Superabrasive Wheel Brush
Designed to provide uniform, repeatable results, Osborn ATB™ Diamond Superabrasive Wheel Brushes offer superior performance for a variety of polishing, deburring, and edge honing applications. Brushes are engineered for optimal edge honing of super hard materials such as CBN, ceramics, diamond, and glass without sacrificing brush life. ATB™ Diamond Superabrasives lower process costs and create a cleaner, more efficient production environment by minimizing or eliminating the secondary cleanup operation.
ATB™ Miniature Cup Brush
Featuring flared nylon filaments with choice of embedded abrasive, Osborn’s ATB™ Miniature Cup Brushes offer exceptional surface conditioning, cleaning, and polishing. Cup brush designs provide uniform performance over wider areas.
