SUHNER UKC 3-R fillet weld grinding and polishing tool

Click2Contact

Stainless polishing of internal welds has always been problematic and the need to meet stringent surface finishing specifications for food production or processing compounds the difficulty.

To help overcome this problem, SUHNER developed the UKC 3-R tool for polishing, cleaning and grinding. The tool features a long neck to allow easy access, has a slow speed variable of 1400-3200 and is lightweight. The UKC 3-R also features sun press unitised wheels that offer 3 or 6 mm edge polishing. This allows for easy profiling of internal fillet welds including weld removal, and weld polishing to a high standard. It also permits the use of abrasive bristles, which clean a weld quickly without the use of dangerous acids and ensure that the weld burn/stain does not return.

The tool cuts the time required to finish internal welds and makes the likelihood of ‘undercutting’ far less.
