Turbo Powered Tools Grind, Mill and Polish the Deepest Recesses of Narrow Pipes

With a redesigned pneumatic drive, the LRC 20 hand tool from Suhner Industrial Products, LLC (Rome, GA) can grind, mill and polish the leading edges and corners of impellers or the insides of narrow pipes that previously could be accessed only with great difficulty. This new drive unit offers users a variety of benefits in production, maintenance and general shop operations. The LRC 20 provides 20,000 rpm for user handwork. At the same time, it is extremely slender and maneuverable and fulfils all safety, ergonomic and energy efficiency requirements in industry. And it is very quiet: even under full load, the sound pressure level is only 69.5 dB. A centrifugal governor regulates the speed to such precision that it saves an average of 20 percent of the compressed air needed for conventional air tool technologies. The exhaust air is directed backwards, protecting the work surface from lubricating oil and reducing noise levels even further.

The system is offered with matching extensions that can be attached to the machine for each application.  Only 13 mm in diameter, the extension elements are very thin and are powered by a long-life flexible shaft. The user can choose from 125 mm, 250 mm, 500 mm, 1,000 mm and 1,500 mm lengths. With a handle, the extension elements can be fitted to the directly onto the LRC 20 drive unit. A special unique highlight with these extension elements is that they can be bent through 45 deg to really reach the deep pockets and corners on workpieces. If users are seeking customized solutions, a Suhner grinding professional can come to their location and offer onsite advice on the right combination of machine, abrasive and application know-how.
