Bigfoot system triple action tools

TRIPLE ACTION POLISHER

Rupes is offering a new type of movement known as Triple Action. The power of a motor can be expressed as the product of the torque multiplied by the velocity. During normal use of a tool, the operator applies a variable load, which by effect of the friction forces and the work carried out by the motor might be such as to reduce the number of revolutions of the motor. The load applied by the operator during normal use of a tool varies significantly over a measure of time, causing large variations in velocity of the number of orbits and the rotation of the rotor disc and consequently reducing the uniformity and effectiveness of the work operation.A more homogeneous process leads to a significant reduction in working times. In the case of triple action tools, and similar to the movement of random orbital tools, the disc follows an orbit and is free to rotate about its own central axis but, thanks to a special epicyclic gear reducer located in front of the cam group, the torque value is significantly increased while at the same time the velocity is reduced. With the use of this solution the impact of a variable in performance (the load applied by the user) is substantially minimized and, consequently, a greater uniformity of performance of the tool.This provides a considerable improvement in the surface finish as well as a drastic reduction in the vibration levels. From the very first use it is clear how advantageous this configuration is in terms of effectiveness and vibration reduction all thanks to the introduction of the epicyclic gear reducer; this is a technical improvement that so profoundly improves and changes the functionality of the tool that it merits a new movement category, the TRIPLE ACTION.

BIGFOOT LTA 125 – LTA 75

 

Ergonomic, lightweight, and powerful. The LTA125 introduces a new innovative technology defined as “Triple Action” in the pneumatic polisher category. The dual action random orbital movement of this pneumatic tool is combined with epicyclic gearing that delivers levels of torque and consistency, which were previously never carried out with pneumatically powered tools. This machine provides incredible balance and torque and is extremely intuitive and easy-to-maneuver and can be used for polishing operations in several industries that include automotive detailing, aviation, marine, industrial, and many more.

HIGH TORQUE EFFICIENCY
Thanks to a special epicyclic gear reducer located in front of the cam group, the torque value is significantly increased while at the same time the velocity is reduced. With the use of this solution the impact of a variable in performance (the load applied by the user) is substantially minimized and, consequently, a greater uniformity of performance of the tool.

SPEED CONTROL
The speed controller on the handle is both practical and easy to use. The speed of the polisher can also be regulated during use, thus avoiding any interruption of the polishing operation.

ADJUSTABLE AIR OUTLET
In addition to being an air outlet, the device also acts as a silencer. Mounted on the base near the air connection, the small silencer is an extremely effective way of deadening the noise generated by the flow of compressed air.

DESIGN
The attention to detail is not limited to just the innovative and attractive design. The modern lines and exceptional technical quality are combined with a number of details that are the result of meticulous research aimed at achieving maximum operator comfort. The perfectly balanced machine body, the practical handgrip, the silent operation and minimum vibration are just some of the characteristics that help make BigFoot the most versatile and sought-after polishing system.
