A hand polished finish from a machine!

 

All Otec DF series disc finishing machines uniquely feature:
...
  • A  technically advanced process system to give a perfect polish even on internal surfaces of ring shaped jewelery,watch cases, broaches and Creoles.

 
  • Shorter process times due to a newly developed octagon process container geometry, producing optimum flow ratio.

  • Plastic coated workholders avoid damage and give fast load and unloading.

  • Optional Automatic computer control of process functions with digital display.

  • Rings to be polished are normally loaded into the workholders at the workbench

  • Workholders are clicked into quick release chucks on the underside of the turret.

  • The computer programme is set to lower the revolving turret for polishing to begin.

  • At the end of the cycle, the workholders are released and replaced by another set.

  • Within 5 minutes polishing has restarted and the polished rings can be removed from the workholders.
