The next generation of polishers is here

Mirka UK is expanding its innovative product portfolio with the launch of the Mirka® POLAROS® RP 600. This new advanced corded rotary polisher has been developed to provide users with a precision tool that is suitable for use across multiple applications including collision repair.

The POLAROS® RP 600 puts the user in control with the help of the new Ramp Up and Ramp down systems. The Ramp Up function has been developed to slowly raise the RPM  as pressure is applied to the tool, and it also prevents sudden increases in speed that would send the polishing compound everywhere apart from the surface being worked on. The Ramp Down function prevents the operator from applying excessive pressure to the machine or the surface, and once the tool feels the pressure is getting too much, it will gradually lower the RPM until the pressure is reduced. 

The new polisher also has a compact and balanced design that keeps the user’s hands closer to the surface for increased stability and control during the polishing process, especially during detailed or vertical work. In addition, the tool can  efficiently manage its internal temperature when in use,enabling it to minimise temperature build-up, especially during extended periods of use, to protect the internal components, so the tool has a longer lifespan. Furthermore,the tool has a low noise output of 58 decibels, the sound level of a normal conversation, which improves working conditions in shared or noise-sensitive environments.

Like a selection of the tools available in Mirka’s product portfolio, the POLAROS® RP 600 can be connected to the myMirka® app. This connectivity enables the users to quickly and efficiently access advanced settings of the tool and the ability to view how the tool is being used to ensure it is performing at an optimal level, whether it is the first use or the hundredth use.

Steve Smith, National Sales Manager Collision Repair, Mirka UK Ltd, says, “The POLAROS® RP 600 represents Mirka’s belief that true innovation should challenge and improve what already exists. By combining intuitive design, intelligent control, and high performance, we’ve created a tool that not only sets a new benchmark for polishers, but also makes the operator’s job more efficient, cleaner, and more precise.”
