Working Head
Recess/Grooving (for LPM Applications)

By using different combinations of working heads, a desired texture can be created. We have done intense testing with 3M technical teams in creating the ideal surface for the LPM materials. By understanding the materials limitations we can provide a surface with no contamination or other factors for the material to fail. If this goal is not reached, you will not receive the full benefits that is expected and you have paid for.

Benefits

  • Different combinations of working heads
  • Ideal for long line work
  • High production rate
  • Provides ideal bonding surfaces
  • Protects materials from snow plows
  • Existing tape removal capabilities
  • Standard paint and cure removal

Applications

  • Long line projects
  • Skip dash
  • Moving operations
  • Ideal surface preparation - texture/depth
  • Removal of any old markings
  • Protection for long term LPM markings
