Description:
The large dimensions of the PREMIUM flap wheels ensure long lifetime, continuity in machining and reduced durations of wheel changes. They are suitable for use in hand-held machines with flexible shafts as well as on stationary polishing machines. The large diameter increases the contact area and creates a more uniformed grinding pattern compared to similar tools with smaller dimensions, which also allows their use on large surfaces. Due to the arrangement of the flaps, continuous wear of the abrasive cloth and constant exposure of new grit is ensured, while maintaining a high and consistent abrasive performance throughout the life of the tool. The flap wheels combine flexibility with excellent adaptability to irregular contours. In addition, the strong ventilation during machining prevents overheating of the work surface, which offers excellent results in a wide range of applications.
The abrasive flaps made of corundum cloth are fixed radially around the axis of the tool. The bore is reinforced by a metal ring with variable dimensions depending on the wheel diameter, which allows the wheel to be securely mounted on the machine. This is facilitated by an appropriate reducing flange.
Advantage:
Long lifetime and consistent results
Reduced wheel change times
Excellent grinding power
Flexibility and adaptability
Strong ventilation during processing, thus lower thermal load
Application:
Thanks to the rich choice of diameters and heights, there is the right combination for every task. The fabric used ensures an excellent balance between flexibility and resistivity. The 350 and 410 diameter wheels, due to their heavier weight, are individually adapted to ensure stability and balance when used in automated or robotic machining lines.
When using flap wheels, the direction of rotation must be observed, which is determined by the side of the flaps with abrasive on the surface. In addition, it is necessary to work with low grinding pressure. The feed of the machined workpiece must be in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the wheel. If used incorrectly, the performance will be reduced and there is a risk of wheel breakage.
Suitable for:
Finishing wide flat, concave and convex surfaces; grinding the internal and outer surfaces of tanks, containers and pipes; finishing parts of irregular shape such as handles, taps and moulded parts; removing and cleaning of welding seams
Metalworking, production of metal tanks and reservoirs, production of machinery and equipment (chemical, medical, textile and food industries), deburring and cleaning stainless steel or chromium-plated parts (automotive industry), machining of design objects and fittings (handles, taps, small tools), manufacturing of pots and pans, stainless steel fittings (hobs, cookers, domestic appliances, extractor hoods, etc.)
