Polisher
The PE12-175, a 7-in. polisher from
Metabo Corp., features a contoured
grip on the gear housing, allowing for
comfortable, continuous use in a variety of metalworking, automotive, and
other applications.
The polisher’s 1,200-W motor pro-
vides a torque of 124 in.-lbs. Vario
Tacho Constamatic speed control
allows the speed to be varied infinitely from the lowest to the highest
value, while maintaining the tool’s
no-load speed of 700 to 2,200 RPM.
This enables consistent polishing
across an entire surface, as well as
from job to job.
The tool’s spindle stop enables
quick disk changes, and the side handle helps give users more control when
maneuvering the 4.8-lb. polisher.

Sheet metal storage, retrieval
The Unitower C
sheet metal storage and retrieval
system from Kasto
Maschinenbau
GmbH & Co. KG
offers job shops,
industrial facilities, and steel distribution centers a compact design, flexibility, ergonomics, and safe operation.
The system has a footprint of 11. 48
by 13.78 ft., allowing storage of sheet
metal in standard sizes with different
stacking heights. The pallets are guided on large plastic glides in the guideways of the steel structure and are
pulled out of the shelves or pushed
into the shelves via the loading traverse, which can be lifted and lowered
and is mounted to the steel structure.
Depending on the customer’s facility, the system can be configured with
standard, perforated profiles up to a
system height of 22. 97 ft. Different
shelf heights are possible with 1.85-
in. increments. The lowest possible
shelf height of 2 in. allows a high
packing density, so that a large variety
of different sheets can be stored on a
small footprint.
Integral to the steel structure are
two racks for the lift movement with
a speed of 26. 25 FPM. The large pallets, with a usable load of 1.323 tons,
are pulled out of the shelf without
being damaged and are moved to an
ergonomic working height.
An optional deposit table helps
load the pallets and unpack the sheet
packs. The new BasicControl with
touch panel can be operated in a
semiautomatic (with deadman control) or fully automatic mode.
