The RUPES LHR15 Mark V polisher is the latest innovation in paint correction and surface finishing, designed specifically for professionals in the automotive detailing and film industry. Engineered to deliver a flawless finish with fewer steps, the Mark V offers a suite of advanced features that enhance both performance and user experience. From reducing noise and vibrations to improving handling and precision, this tool sets a new standard for polishers in its class.
Key Features and Innovations:
1. New Polysynthec Gear System:
The RUPES LHR15 Mark V is powered by the most advanced Polysynthec™ gear system, which provides superior noise reduction and smoother operation. These cutting-edge gears are designed to:
- Reduce noise levels: Offering up to a 47% decrease in perceived loudness, making the tool significantly quieter during operation.
- Minimize vibrations: The gears deliver exceptional stability, allowing for better control during polishing, which leads to more precise results and reduces operator fatigue.
- Improve durability: Polysynthec gears are lightweight, wear-resistant, and thermally stable, ensuring consistent performance even during extended use.
2. One-Block Cover for Maximum Stability:
The one-block cover design eliminates flexing or movement in the head of the polisher, providing maximum stability during use. This innovative feature:
- Reduces vibrations: A stable head minimizes vibrations, enhancing user comfort and control, especially over prolonged polishing sessions.
- Ensures consistent results: By eliminating movement in the tool’s head, the Mark V helps achieve uniform finishes, preventing uneven polishing or swirl marks.
3. Advanced Ventilation System:
The new ventilation system features advanced airflow engineering to optimize cooling during long polishing sessions. This system:
- Reduces heat buildup: Keeps the internal components at an optimal temperature, preventing overheating and extending the tool’s lifespan.
- Improves efficiency: Consistent cooling ensures smooth operation and reduces the risk of malfunctions, even under heavy workloads.
4. Redesigned Eccentric Set for Smoother Handling:
The new eccentric set in the LHR15 Mark V has been compacted for better maneuverability and user comfort. It features:
- Enhanced vibration reduction: A smoother and more comfortable experience with better control, reducing arm fatigue and improving precision.
- Compact form factor: Easier handling, especially when working in tight or angled spaces like curved body panels or around delicate trim.
5. Anti-Spinning Ring for Durability and Precision:
The anti-spinning ring is an innovative feature that:
- Reduces friction and heat: This extends the life of the backing plate and polishing pad, allowing for longer working sessions with less wear on the tool.
- Enhances cutting capacity and control: The ring allows for smoother operation, making it easier to tackle any surface and achieve professional-level results.
6. PrecisionPro Backing Plate:
The PrecisionPro backing plate improves tool performance by offering:
- Lower center of gravity: This design provides enhanced stability and balance across different polishing pads.
- Rubber edge protection: This ensures durability and control, making the polisher safer to use on all types of surfaces, especially around edges and contours.
Industry-Specific Benefits:
For Automotive Detailers:
- Flawless Paint Correction: The advanced Polysynthec gear system and vibration-reducing technology allow detailers to achieve a high-quality finish with fewer passes, improving efficiency without compromising results.
- Improved Comfort for Extended Sessions: Lower vibrations and noise reduction make the Mark V more comfortable for prolonged use, especially for large or complex projects.
- Precision and Control: Whether correcting swirls, scratches, or oxidation, the Mark V delivers precise control and smooth operation, minimizing the risk of over-polishing or damaging paint surfaces.
For Film Installers (PPF and Vinyl):
- Surface Preparation: Achieving a flawless finish is essential before applying paint protection films or vinyl wraps. The Mark V's smooth, controlled polishing reduces the likelihood of surface imperfections, ensuring optimal adhesion and longevity for films.
- Reduced Risk of Overheating: The improved ventilation system helps regulate the temperature, making it safer for use on sensitive surfaces that require lower heat levels to avoid damage.
Noise Reduction and User Comfort:
- Quieter Operation: The Mark V reduces noise by 47%, from 78.5 dB to 73 dB, making the polisher significantly quieter. This is a major advantage for professionals working in shared spaces, residential areas, or indoors, where noise levels matter.
- Enhanced Safety and Control: With reduced vibrations, the polisher is less likely to slip or move unexpectedly, enhancing safety when working on vertical surfaces or intricate areas.
- Better Handling for Beginners and Pros Alike: Lower noise and smoother operation make the Mark V more approachable for new users while maintaining the precision and power expected by seasoned professionals.
Extended Tool Life and Efficiency:
- Longevity of Components: By reducing mechanical stress and improving internal cooling, the Mark V ensures the tool lasts longer, with fewer maintenance requirements.
- Reduced Wear and Tear: The lower vibrations and anti-spinning ring reduce wear on pads and backing plates, extending their life and saving on replacement costs.
- Energy Efficiency: Less vibration and noise mean that more of the tool’s energy is focused on actual polishing, increasing efficiency and reducing energy waste during operation.
