3M 7100117416 Unitized Abrasive Wheel 6 Inch Laser Braze

Product Description

The 3M 7100117416 is a unitized non-woven abrasive wheel engineered specifically for blending and finishing silicon bronze welds produced by laser brazing in automotive manufacturing environments. Built with 3M Precision Shaped Grain bonded into a Scotch-Brite non-woven web, the wheel delivers a faster cut rate and a consistent, smooth surface finish on silicon bronze and similar metals. At 6 inches in diameter and 2.63 inches wide, it fits standard arbor-mount finishing setups used on automated and semi-automated production lines. Licensed trades and production maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users.

This wheel is suited for automotive body panel production and other sheet metal finishing operations where laser brazing leaves surface imperfections requiring controlled blending. The open web construction resists loading from metal debris and grinding swarf, extending usable service life between wheel changes. It is appropriate for use on silicon bronze, stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals where surface quality is critical to downstream painting or coating processes.

Key Features

• 3M Precision Shaped Grain provides aggressive, consistent cut rate with a smooth finish
• Unitized non-woven Scotch-Brite construction resists loading and extends service life
• Flexible web material reduces the need for machine recalibration between passes
• 6-inch diameter fits standard arbor-mount finishing and deburring equipment
• Designed for silicon bronze laser braze finishing in automotive production

Compatibility

Designed for use on silicon bronze and other metals in laser brazing finishing applications, compatible with standard arbor-mount unitized wheel finishing machines used in automotive production environments.

Installation Notes

This wheel is typically installed and changed by production maintenance technicians or qualified abrasive equipment operators. Power down and lock out the finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm arbor speed does not exceed the rated maximum RPM marked on the wheel. Follow applicable ANSI B11 machine guarding standards and the equipment manufacturer's mounting instructions.
