FAB new buffing machine
For polishing large parts that are too difficult to finish manually, SurTech has launched its FAB buffing machine. The FAB machine will demonstrate how to efficiently polish stainless steel fabrications, sheet and plate, hollow sections, enclosures and alternate difficult to finish parts.
Consisting of a frame with guide rails that offers horizontal and vertical travel of the buffing head, parts can be moved along the optional 1500mm or 3000mm bed length. In standard format the FAB machine can accommodate parts up to 600mm high with optional working lengths up to 1200mm also available.
The buffing head houses a single speed 2.2kW motor that offers clockwise and anti clockwise rotation to suit the operator’s preference. The FAB is capable of holding buffs, brushes and wheels up to 250mm diameter with a maximum width of up to 150mm. To improve polishing efficiency and to cover all the recommended cutting speeds the buffing head is available with an inverter as an optional extra to increase the wheel speed.
SurTech has developed dedicated versions of the FAB buffing machine with swiveling buffing heads for polishing tube longitudinally. This option makes the FAB the ideal partner for grinding operations in situations like weld seam removal, scale removal and surface graining and blending operations.
The company has also made available a vertical abrasive belt head that can be fitted instead of the buffing head or with the buffing head to reduce the actual working length by approximately 500mm. These additional options guarantee that SurTech can provide the surface finishing solution to all your needs with exceptional productivity levels.
