The Wagner Companies has added a long length automatic tube polisher to its manufacturing operation for circumferential finishing of stainless steel pipe, tube or solid round bar.
The machine has four heads and is capable of automatically feeding 21 foot lengths of material with an outside diameter between 1 and 9 inches at a rate of approximately 4 feet per minute.
Multiple polishing heads allow up to four different abrasive operations to run in one pass providing a consistent texture and surface appearance on all material. The desired finish can be specified by a belt finish designation - i.e., 180, 240, or 320-grit finishes - or by common mechanical finishing terms - i.e., #4 or #6 satin finish - to match other fittings and components.
Wagner estimates the automatic tube polisher will shorten lead times significantly for circumferentially polished long length material allowing for fast turnaround and better consistency.
