ATB® is the abbreviation for Advanced Technology Brush System and forms our product range of brushes for automated deburring directly after the machining process.
ATB® brushes are precision tools that are largely responsible for the quality of the end products. They can be matched component-oriented to almost any material to be processed.
Our ATB® brushes are available with a wide range of abrasive bristles and wire trim in different grit sizes and filament/wire diameters.
ATB® brushes are designed for direct adaptation to tool holders, which means that they can be used in machining centers, CNC lathes & milling machines, robot cells, etc. The use of the brushes takes place downstream of the machining process.
The brushes are used downstream of the machining process and can be used with cooling lubricants, emulsions, or water without any problems.
water. This means that the machined workpieces can be deburred and finished directly, reliably, and reproducibly on the machine without reclamping.
Before machining - clear burr formation on the edge. Milling grooves on the surface.
After machining - burrs were reliably removed and the edges rounded. The surface has an even, brushed look.
ATB® brushes have a 4 x higher fill density than the disc brushes produced in the conventional process (punched). As a result, the service life of the brushes is increased many times over, with higher throughput speeds and better and more efficient deburring results.
Due to shorter machining times and very uniform edge rounding, our ATB® brushes are particularly suitable for deburring:
ATB® brushes are compatible with the following tool holders for direct adaptability for use in automated machining stations:
ATB®-Disc brushes
ATB®-Wheel brushes
ATB®-End brushes
In order to achieve the best possible deburring and finishing results, different fill patterns and designs are required. Depending on the available product families of ATB® brushes, we offer the following fill types, among others:
ATB® disc brush
ATB® wheel brush
ATB® End Brush
Determined by the material to be processed and the workpiece geometry, ATB® brushes can be equipped with various fill materials, from wire fill to abrasive bristles to mixed fill.
In order to make the best possible use of the advantages of our ATB® product line, it is often necessary to exchange ideas with our product professionals. Often, application-specific brushing tools are worked out for the customer, which is developed taking into account the entire machining process.
We offer the following standard configurations (dimensions) for the three ATB® product families:
ATB® Disc brush
ATB® Wheel Brush
ATB® End Brush
Osborn’s ATB Situft™ Internal Brushes feature premium-quality abrasive nylon filaments to provide efficient, aggressive abrasive action across a wide range of internal cleaning and finishing operations. Situft™ brushes should be used only with suitable holders.
Osborn ATB Helituf™ Internal Brushes are designed with high-quality nylon filament embedded with durable Silicon Carbide and unique helix design to provide efficient internal surface cleaning and deburring action. Helituf™ brushes should only be used with suitable holders and fully chucked.
Featuring rectangular nylon strips impregnated with tough Aluminum Oxide, Osborn’s ATB™ Rectangular Filament Internal Brush provides a highly efficient side-sweeping action across the surface. Filament shape applies approximately 18 times more abrasive contact than traditional round filaments. Aluminum Oxide ensures a superior finish and prolonged brush life.
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.
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.
Constructed with high-quality nylon filament with choice of Silicon Carbide or Ceramic abrasive, Osborn’s small diameter ATB Ringlock™ Wheel Brushes are ideal for a variety of tasks using portable tools and drill presses. Silicon Carbide brushes tackle a variety of cleaning and deburring both ID and OD surfaces while Ceramic brushes are designed for more aggressive deburring applications. Brushes are expertly designed and tested to provide unmatched longevity.
Featuring efficient Silicon Carbide or aggressive Ceramic abrasives and a wide face width, Osborn ATB Master™ Wheel Brushes are highly effective on both metallic and non-metallic materials. Cutting action does not require compound, eliminating the need to clean finished parts to save you time and money. Designed with premium Round Crimped nylon filaments to offer the industry’s longest brush life. Brushes can be used singly, or can be mounted in multiples for larger surfaces.
Osborn’s flexible ATB Fascut™ Wheel Brushes feature long trim, flexible Round Crimped Silicon Carbide or Round Ceramic nylon abrasive filaments. Designed with moderate density, this brush is ideal for applications requiring a high degree of conformability. High-quality materials and construction offer the industry’s longest brush life.
Osborn’s aggressive ATB Fascut™ Wheel Brush is designed with short trim, premium nylon filament that is impregnated with abrasive material. Features high density, uniformly distributed Round Crimped Silicon Carbide or Round Ceramic filaments for increased aggression, minimum cycle time, and the industry’s longest brush life.
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.
