MOPS (Mounted Flap Wheels)

MOPS, or Mounted Flap Wheels, are essential tools for achieving precise surface finishing and polishing in a variety of industrial applications. Designed to be used on spindles or mandrels, these tools feature a series of overlapping abrasive flaps that provide a flexible and effective solution for finishing and polishing complex surfaces.

Key Features of MOPS (Mounted Flap Wheels)
Flexible Design: MOPS consist of multiple overlapping abrasive flaps attached to a spindle or mandrel, allowing them to conform to the shape of the workpiece for uniform finishing.
High-Quality Abrasives: Constructed with premium abrasive materials, such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, zirconia alumina, and ceramic, to ensure efficient material removal and long-lasting performance.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of materials and applications, including metal, wood, plastics, and composites.
Various Grit Sizes: Available in a range of grit sizes, from coarse for aggressive material removal to fine for detailed finishing and polishing.
How MOPS Work
MOPS are designed to be mounted on a spindle or mandrel and are used with grinding and polishing machines. They operate by:
Material Removal: Efficiently removing material from the surface of the workpiece, whether for deburring, cleaning, or shaping.
Surface Finishing: Providing a smooth, even finish on complex or contoured surfaces.
Polishing: Achieving a high-quality shine on metals and other materials.
Applications and Industries Served
MOPS are versatile and find application in various industries for different surface finishing tasks:
Metalworking: Deburring, cleaning, and polishing metal parts, including those with intricate shapes and contours.
Automotive: Finishing and polishing components such as engine parts, exhaust systems, and trim.
Aerospace: Precision finishing of aerospace components requiring high-quality surface standards.
Woodworking: Sanding and finishing wood surfaces with complex shapes or hard-to-reach areas.
General Manufacturing: Suitable for a range of materials and applications where detailed finishing is required.
