Fiber rods for XEBEC Cutting Fiber |
Rods for abrasives- impregnated nylon brushes |
| Structure |
 |
 |
| Consistent rigidity |
A
single Fine Alumina Fiber rod is made by binding together 1,000
Alumina Fiber Filaments(diameter ø10μm for red
rods and ø15μm for white rods).
Therefore, this structure maintains a consistent rigidity and
there is virtually no fiber rod configurational change
in deburring process. |
The abrasive grain is impregnated in nylon.
The nylon base gives it flexibility but low rigidity.
So there is rod configurational change during the deburring process. |
| Superior grinding performance |
ALF
makes up approximately 75% of the total weight;
The self-sharpening action of the cutting edge of the
Alumina Fiber rod tips and continuous cutting edges provides
superior grinding performance. |
Abrasive
grain makes up only 30% of the total weight; its self-sharpening
action is weaker, resulting in low grinding efficiency. |
| Uniform fine
finishing |
Thanks
to the multitude of uniform Alumina Fiber on the rod tips, stable
and uniform finishing can be achieved; keeping superior grinding
performance. |
Due
to the variation in abrasive grains diameters, it’s difficult
to get uniform finishes |
| No clogging |
Thanks
to the self –sharpening action of the cutting edge
on the Alumina Fiber rod tips, it’s difficult to clog the tool. |
Due
to less self- sharpening action, it’s easy to clog the tool. |
| For both dry and wet processing |
Thanks
to the high thermal resistance (approx. 150℃),
the grinding performance is stable even in dry processing.
Thenks to superior water-resistance, there is no decrease
in rigidity even during wet processing, providing stable
grinding performance. |
Due
to the low thermal resistance (approx. 90℃), the heat generated
in dry processing results in decreased rigidity and molten nylon
on the workpiece.
Due to low water-resistance, rigidity and grinding performance
is decreased. |
