They produce excellent results with substantial time saving and reduced compound consumption. <strong>BigFoot\u2019s random orbital movement<\/strong> creates high mechanical stresses on the foam polishing pads, generating an increase in internal temperature. The innovative \u201c<strong>open cell<\/strong>\u201d structure of the BigFoot foam polishing pads <strong>prevents<\/strong> the build-up of <strong>heat generated<\/strong> during the polishing process. In addition, this particular structure <strong>guarantees maximum efficiency in the polishing process<\/strong> with minimum downward vertical pressure from the operator. The center hole creates superior ventilation and heat dispersion through special channels in the backing pad. The innovative design of the truncated cone shape optimizes the performance of the large diameter orbit, and at the same time protects against accidental contact between the backing pad and the work surface.<\/p>\n<h3>For Gear Driven Polishers<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1001372980\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rupes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/foam-pad-for-gear-driven.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rupes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/foam-pad-for-gear-driven.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rupes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/foam-pad-for-gear-driven-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><br \/>\nThis new foam pad range has been <strong>designed to maximize the transmission of the gear driven tools<\/strong> mechanical movement to the work surface. The <strong>low profile<\/strong>, tapered, design cut from the proprietary RUPES foams performs predictably and consistently with the movement of a <strong>dual action tool<\/strong>. The shortened height of the foams improves user experience by reducing the overall distance from the operator to the work surface and also improves stability and control during all phases of the polishing process. The lower profile aids in reducing pad distortion caused by the gear driven tools movement and torque output.<\/p>\n<p>The new foam pad range features 3 foam types:<br \/>\n<strong>Blue foam pad<\/strong> for cutting processes<br \/>\n<strong>Yellow foam pad<\/strong> for finishing processes<br \/>\n<strong>White foam pad<\/strong> for ultra-finishing processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1001372990 alignleft\" style=\"padding-top: 0; padding-left: 0; width: 495px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rupes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/foam-pad-for-rotary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rupes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/foam-pad-for-rotary.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rupes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/foam-pad-for-rotary-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>For Rotary Polisher<\/h3>\n<p>Completely new foam formulations specifically <strong>optimized for rotary application<\/strong>.The system includes <strong>3 type of foam pads<\/strong> designed to give the operator choices depending on the desired outcome. <strong>Open cell foam materials<\/strong> were chosen to minimize <strong>excessive heat<\/strong>.
