Process development

Checking wheel diameter and speed before polishing

Identify whether the setup behaves like standard 6 inch wheel polishing or a cooler small-tool route.

Task: Process development / operator control
Stage: Process setup

Process steps

Identify the tool type: wheel, small wheel, brush, rotary tool, thread or cord.
Measure or identify the wheel or tool diameter.
Identify rpm or mark it as unknown.
Compare the setup with the standard 6 inch wheel reference.
If using an 8 inch wheel, watch for higher surface speed and heat.
If using a 4 inch wheel or small tool, expect lower surface speed and lower heat.
If compound feels dry or recessed areas remain dull, consider low-temperature route development.
Record diameter, rpm and tool type as part of process development.

User responsibility and process control

The operator is responsible for selecting the process parameters, monitoring temperature, pressure, wheel condition and visual result, and stopping or adjusting the process when the specific item requires it. LUXI recommendations should be applied with professional judgement and controlled testing.
