There are several strengths points of the ORBITER, which make it the only real innovation in the sector in the last 10 years. We list the most important ones below:

Cutting capacity: much higher than a Fickert head
The tangential velocity of the tool reaches up to 30 m/s versus less than 11 m/s for a standard Fickert head, so the removal capacity is significantly higher.

High productivity and durability
Each tool has a higher cutting capacity, and each head is equipped with 30 tools, so we can increase line speed and have much rarer tool changes, all to the benefit of productivity.

Machining quality and uniformity at the highest level
Each of the 5 cylinders that make up ORBITER, describes a circular motion with respect to its axis that allows the tools to perfectly follow the surface by uniformly machining reliefs and low spots, thus we obtain a uniformity never achieved before and an unparalleled polish.
Thanks to the combination of the motions: rotation of the whole system with the rotation of the cylinder we obtain a multitude of marks, intertwined with each other, in this way the concentric "feed mark" typical of the fickert head is definitely eliminated
In addition, due to the higher cutting capacity, finer-grained tools can be used, further improving the quality of the polish even in the absence of treatments.

Versatility
By varying the type and stiffness of the tool, it is possible to lapping in the full field by calibrating or following the surface, flattening ridges, satinizing or brushing the surfaces of slabs and tiles. As in the Fickert head, with ORBITER, by changing tools, we can accomplish very different machining operations.

Easy to use Quick assembly and fewer tool changes mean less effort for the operator, moreover the ORBITER does not require special adjustments, as it easily adapts to different types of machining and uses standard Fickert tools.
