OTEC Machines
Engineered in Germany, OTEC machines deliver flawless, mirror-like finishes with unmatched speed and consistency. They automate tedious bench labour and protect delicate jewellery geometries across every batch.
OTEC CF 3x18
The CF -series of disc finishing machines can be used for any application that requires a perfect surface finish to be achieved in a very short time for a variety of workpieces such as in cutting, turning, milling and stamping tools, jewelry, etc.
Disc finishing machines are modular in design and available as standard with 1 - 4 process drums.
All controls are accessible from the front and clearly laid out. Many years of experience have gone into the development of these machines, which is why they are so popular with our customers.

Standard Equipment
- Process drums with hot moulded PU lining
- Aluminium profile chassis - easy to add on optional equipment
- Speed control via frequency inverter
- PLC touch screen control unit / 2D control unit (for the jewelry industry) with digital display of processing time, speed, rinse cycle, dosing and other key process parameters and storage for up to 75 different finishing programs.
Underlying Technology
The difference between the centrifugal forces acting on the workpieces and the process medium creates a very powerful finishing effect. This can be up to 20 times more efficient than, for example, conventional vibrators.
With wet finishing, a water/compound mixture flows continuously through the system, rinsing away the fine particles of debris from the finishing process.
This gives the workpieces a clean and corrosion-free surface. Many years of experience have been channelled into these machines, making them very popular with customers.
Ceramic Gap System
With this system, the gap can be set to an accuracy of 0.05 mm since it is formed by using two ceramic rings made of SIC. this technology is best suited to dry finishing since it enables best results to be obtained by using very fine polishing granulates.
Ceramic/Polyurethane Gap System
This standard system from OTEC is suitable for the most common applications in wet finishing. The cermic/polyurethan combination prevents any workpieces from becoming lodged in the gap area, making the process very reliable and reducing maintenance requirements.
Unique Zero Gap System!
For the wet finishing of very fine workpieces. The gap between the rotating disc and the stationary drum can be reduced to zero. This enables very fine grain abrasive media such as quartz to be used and prevents any workpieces from becoming lodged in the gap.
Accessories
Dosing
Dosing unit: Dosing unit for automatic preparation of the water/compound mixture with automatic rinsing. Concentration of compound can be set via the control unit. The water flow is indicated on the control unit.
Dosing pump: with suction nozzle and automatic cut-out when empty
Dosing unit with electronic preselection: dosing unit with electronic preselection of compound concentration and water flow.
This dosing unit enables not only the compound concentration but also the water flow to be precisely defined via the control unit. In addition, the water flow rate and the compound concentration can be flexibly programmed during the process.
Separating
Manual separating unit: using a manual screen (Image: CF 50)
Manual screen: available in a variety of sizes
Automatic separating unit with magnetic drum: for ferromagnetic workpieces, optionally available with integrated demagnetization and/or fine grain separation.
Unisepa: automatic separating unit using a screen machine with a vibration motor. Extremely efficient. Fast and user-friendly screen change. Vibration speed can be set by mens of frequency inverter.
Miscellaneous
Rinse system: prevents the workpieces from ahering to the edge of the drum, thereby ensuring that all workpieces are processed
Hopper
Tray system: system for storing additional plastic containers for media
Trolley for benchtop unit: for storing additional granulate collecting containers, paste and compound containers
Why Choose the OTEC CF 3x18
Easy to operate
Speed, processing time, water/compound concentration, rinse cycles and all other main processes parameters can easily be set by means of the user-friendly Siemens touch screen control panel and up 5000 different processing programs can be stored.
Extremley Cost-effective
Comparatively low capital investment and a high potential for cost savings make the CF series excellent value for money.Perfect results Deburring, smoothing, grinding and polishing – the entire range of applications with just one machine.
Absolutely Reliable
The use of only top-quality materials and components throughout ensures trouble-free operation and a long service life.
Tests Not Promises
Let us prove how good our technology is. We will be happy to put the performance of OTEC technology and the CF series to the test.
We will give you detailed advice and develop a finishing concept tailored to your needs and formulate the best grinding and polishing media for your application.
In addition, we offer to finish a sample workpiece for you individually and to provide you with a process log documenting all key process parameters.
