3M 7100115824 Scotch-brite Laser Braze Unitized Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100115824 Scotch-Brite Laser Braze LB-UW is a unitized non-woven finishing wheel engineered to blend and finish imperfections produced by laser brazing in automotive manufacturing. Built with Scotch-Brite open-web non-woven material combined with 3M Precision Shaped Grain abrasive, this wheel delivers faster cutting action and extended service life compared to conventional non-woven wheels. At 8 inches in diameter, it is sized for automated and semi-automated finishing equipment commonly used in automotive body and frame production. Licensed metalworkers and production technicians handling silicon bronze laser braze seams rely on this wheel to achieve consistent, repeatable finish quality without frequent tool changes.

This wheel is suited to automotive production environments where laser brazing joins panels and structural components with silicon bronze filler material. The open-web construction resists loading from metal debris, making it effective on continuous or high-volume finishing lines. It is also applicable to other metal finishing operations where a conformable, non-woven unitized wheel is required to remove minor surface irregularities while preserving the base material beneath.

Key Features

• Designed specifically to blend and finish silicon bronze laser braze seams in automotive production
• Open-web non-woven construction resists loading and extends effective service life
• 3M Precision Shaped Grain abrasive provides faster cut rate and consistent smooth finish
• Flexible Scotch-Brite material conforms to surface contours, reducing recalibration and setup adjustments
• Unitized construction maintains consistent performance throughout the life of the wheel

Compatibility

Designed for use on silicon bronze and other metals in laser brazing finishing applications; suitable for automated and semi-automated grinding and finishing equipment that accepts an 8-inch unitized wheel.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation of abrasive finishing wheels should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B11 and relevant machinery safety standards. Verify the spindle speed of the finishing equipment does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the equipment before changing wheels. Always use appropriate eye protection and respiratory protection when operating abrasive wheels on metal.
