Georgia-based Suhner, a manufacturer of industrial products and tools for various industries, has introduced the Rotomax flexible shaft machine, a unit with interchangeable hand pieces that allow a user the freedom to perform a wide variety of machining operations with a single machine. This new machine has applications in industrial stainless steel fabrications, steel fabrication, polishing operations, sheetmetal assembly, and more.
By changing the hand piece the Rotomax functions as an angle grinder, straight grinder, drum polisher, belt sander, tube polisher or die grinder. The Rotomax offers users a range of power from 2.0hp to 4.7hp and features electronically-controlled speeds ranging from 500rpm (rotations per minute) to 15,000rpm in increments of 100rpm. The combination of an industrial grade motor and solid-state electronic control ensure constant speed and torque during any application. With no gearing, the Rotomax operates quietly. Other features include soft start, integrated braking, and an LED-displayed speed gauge.
