GEAR DRIVEN BIGFOOT POLISHING SYSTEMS ROTARY : a rotating disc, rotates on a central axis with the highest velocity being at the pads edge. Rotary tends to be the most invasive movement on the surface, generating substantial friction and heat which can lead to burns, strike throughs, and rotary induced swirl marks if used improperly. In the hands of a skilled technician a rotary tool features the lowest vibration levels of any tool movement, but a great deal of time is required to become proficient with rotary polishers. Rotary movement is most commonly used for polishing operations. GEAR...

RANDOM ORBITAL TRIPLE ACTION: RUPES has introduced a new type of movement deemed Triple Action. The power of a motor can be expressed as the product of the torque multiplied by the velocity. During the normal use of a tool, the operator applies a variable load, which by effect of friction on the surface and the work carried out by the motor might be such as to reduce the number of revolutions of the motor. The load applied by the operator during normal use of a tool varies significantly over a measure of time, causing large variations in velocity of the number of orbits and the rotation of...
