ESS Contact™

Surface Deburring & Polishing Brush

ESS Contact™ is a high-precision surface deburring and polishing brush designed for CNC machines, robots, and automated finishing equipment. Built with ultra-fine ceramic-fiber abrasive filaments, it offers effective burr removal and surface prep while maintaining tight tolerances and preventing damage to the substrate.

Process Guidelines

Mount the ESS Contact™ brush in the machine spindle or collet holder; ensure the sleeve or shank is properly secured.
Program the machine with appropriate speed and feed—typical example from source: ~5000 min⁻¹ for a small diameter brush in stainless steel, ~5 s process time.
Engage the brush head with light contact and perform reciprocating or walking strokes across the surface to uniformly remove burrs and polish.
Use coolant, air blow-off, or lubrication as needed; avoid dwelling too long in one spot to maintain tool life and surface integrity.

Benefits at a Glance

Superior finish quality: Achieves smooth, shiny surfaces with minimal rework
Precision integrity: No rounding of edges, no unexpected material removal
Automation-friendly: Adapted for CNC, robot cells, and automated finishing operations
Material flexibility: Works across a broad range of metals and machined parts

Available Sizes & Options

The product line supports a wide range of diameters (e.g., starting from 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, etc) and is color-coded for material/hardness (for example, pink for soft metals like aluminum/copper, blue for harder metals like stainless/iron) in the original naming.

Custom sizes, grits, and brush configurations are available upon request.

Features & Applications

Consistent, ultra-fine grinding force: The ceramic fiber bristles deliver thousands of micro-cutting edges at each filament tip, ensuring strong, uniform material removal.
Minimal damage to the workpiece: The brush’s design avoids scratching or deforming the surface, preserving dimensional accuracy and finish integrity.
High structural stability & durability: Compared to traditional nylon or wire brushes, the ceramic-fiber structure retains shape and resists deformation, supporting longer life and repeatability.

Typical Applications

ESS Contact™ is suited for:

Flattened surfaces, plate faces, and milled faces requiring edge break, burr removal or polishing

Removal of cutter marks, tool path traces, or light scale/rust from machined metal surfaces

Bottom surfaces of grooves, machined pockets, valve bodies, manifold faces, and other shallow features

Materials include aluminum alloys, copper, magnesium, stainless steel, iron – especially where burrs are under ~0.2 mm.
