Operating Instructions

Use the diagram from page 3 under this section. It visually shows the difference between Standard (Figure A) and Ramping (Figure B) entry and exit modes.

Operation Mode

1. Position

2. Preload

3. Feed

4. Stop

5. Retract

Standard – Figure A

Approach the tool without rotation

Compress spring and set depth

Feed with rotation

Stop rotation and feed

Retract upward vertically

Ramping – Figure B

Arc entry with rotation

Compress spring and set depth before feed

Feed with rotation

Arc exit with rotation

Ramping provides smoother engagement, reducing tool marks and improving surface finish quality.

Usage Guidelines

  • Approach the brush vertically and engage it with the workpiece
  • Avoid side contact, as it can damage the bristles
  • Do not let the tool drop into pockets
  • Do not contact protruding features
  • Ensure the floating mechanism can move freely at all times
  • Prevent lateral side loading on the brush or tool

Practical Recommendations

  • Apply preload before starting the cutting process
  • Maintain consistent spring engagement throughout machining
  • Proper setup improves both entry and exit surface quality
  • Stable operating conditions help achieve longer tool life and repeatable results

Precautions for Use

  • Ensure the collet and holder are securely tightened before operation
  • Confirm that the tool shank is properly clamped in the machine chuck
  • Always wear appropriate protective equipment
  • If the tool is not fully inserted, vibration may cause loosening, detachment, breakage, or injury
  • Use a chuck that matches the shank diameter correctly
  • Operate only with equipment capable of controlling rotational speed
  • Do not use through-spindle coolant
  • After extended use, reduced spring force may affect floating function, so check functionality before use
  • During machining, particles and dust may scatter, so use suitable extraction
  • Processing dust may be harmful to health
  • Perform a short test run before use
  • Stop operation immediately if vibration or abnormal behavior occurs
  • Do not exceed maximum rotational speed, depth of cut, or brush projection

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What shank sizes does it support?

It is used to maintain controlled brush contact during deburring and surface finishing, mainly with UFIBER brushes on CNC or robotic systems.

ER25UM ultra-precision collet with runout up to 5 μm.

No. Coolant entering the holder may prevent proper floating operation.
