3M 7100117532 Scotch-brite Laser Braze Unitized Wheel 4 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100117532 is a unitized non-woven finishing wheel engineered specifically for blending and finishing the surface imperfections left by laser brazing in automotive production environments. Built on the Scotch-Brite open-web construction platform, it incorporates 3M Precision Shaped Grain abrasive technology to deliver a faster cut rate and longer service life compared to conventional non-woven wheels. The wheel is 4 inches in diameter and weighs 1.67 pounds. It is intended for use on Silicon Bronze and similar metals where consistent surface quality is critical to final part acceptance. Licensed automotive body technicians and production line abrasive operators are the primary installers and users.

This wheel is used in automotive manufacturing and production repair settings where laser brazing is the joining method of choice, particularly on body panels and structural components finished with Silicon Bronze. The open-web design resists loading during aggressive blending passes, making it well suited to high-cycle production environments. Its flexible non-woven construction reduces the frequency of machine recalibration and fixture adjustments between passes, supporting throughput on automated or semi-automated finishing lines.

Key Features

• Designed specifically to blend and finish Silicon Bronze laser braze seams in automotive production
• 3M Precision Shaped Grain delivers faster cut rate and a consistent, smooth surface finish
• Open-web construction resists loading and extends effective service life in high-cycle applications
• Flexible Scotch-Brite non-woven material reduces need for machine recalibration between passes
• Unitized wheel construction maintains consistent finishing performance throughout the wheel life

Compatibility

Designed for use on Silicon Bronze and other metals in laser brazing finishing applications within automotive production environments. Consult the machine arbor size and RPM rating requirements before mounting to confirm fitment with your specific finishing equipment.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by production abrasive operators or qualified automotive finishing technicians. Verify that the spindle speed of the finishing machine does not exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the finishing machine before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a wheel that shows signs of delamination or core damage.
