Rupes Pneumatic Triple Action Bigfoot Polisher offers a new type of motion known as TRIPLE ACTION. The power of a motor can be expressed as the product of torque multiplied by speed. During normal use of a tool, the operator applies a variable load, which, due to frictional forces and the work performed by the motor, can reduce the number of revolutions of the motor and, in the case of a DA Random Orbital, to reduce the number of disc revolutions to zero.
The load applied by the operator during normal use of a tool varies considerably over time, resulting in large fluctuations in the speed of the number of orbits and the rotation of the rotor disc, consequently reducing the uniformity and effectiveness of the work process. A more homogeneous process results in a significant reduction in working times. In triple-action tools, and similar to the movement of DA tools with random orbit, the disc, typically circular, follows an orbit and can rotate freely around its own central axis. However, thanks to a special epicyclic reduction gear at the front of the cam group, the torque value is significantly increased while simultaneously reducing the speed.
Bigfoot pneumatic polisher with triple action. Using this solution, the influence of a power variable (the load exerted by the user) is significantly minimized, resulting in more consistent tool performance. This results in a significant improvement in surface finish and a drastic reduction in vibration levels. From the first use, it is clear how advantageous this configuration is in terms of effectiveness and vibration reduction, thanks to the introduction of the epicyclic gear system. This is a technical improvement that improves and modifies the functionality of the tool so profoundly that it deserves a new motion category: TRIPLE ACTION.
