Floor Polishing Machines Metal Diamond Connection Types

The metal diamonds used in floor polishing machines are critical for abrading the surface, removing roughness, and performing the initial preparation steps. Proper attachment of these diamonds to the machine is crucial for both efficiency and safety. The main types of metal diamond attachments available on the market are:

1. Slide-on and Magnetic Connections

These systems are designed to load and remove diamonds from the machine quickly and easily.

• Magnetic Mounts: One of the most modern and fastest systems. The magnetic base beneath the diamonds adheres strongly to the machine's plate. This allows tool changes to be made in seconds, saving significant time.

• Sliding Mounts: This type of mounting allows the diamonds to be secured by sliding them into special slots on the machine plate. While not as fast as magnetic systems, it is still quite practical and reliable.

These connection types are preferred when the need to change diamonds frequently arises, especially in large projects or when working on surfaces with different hardness.

2. Bolted and Screwed Connections (Bolt-on)

This type of connection is used especially in applications requiring high strength and stability.

• Bolted Systems: Diamond segments are secured directly to the machine's base plate with bolts or screws. This connection prevents the diamonds from shifting or flying out during operation. It is considered one of the most durable types of connection and is often preferred for demanding concrete polishing jobs.

3. Frankfurt Connection System

This type of connection is generally used in the grinding and polishing processes of natural stones such as marble and granite.

• Frankfurt Claw: Diamond blocks are placed in a special metal holder called a claw, which is then attached to the machine. This system provides more controlled abrasion on the delicate surfaces of natural stone and is typically powered by the machine's own weight.
