Consistent quality

Automated sanding is not only more efficient with Mirka AIROS, it’s also smarter. Built-in intelligence allows two-way communication between the sanding head and the control system. Getting detailed information about the status of the sander places you in full control of the sanding process. You get exact  management thanks to the brushless motor and the motor controller with Mirka proprietary technology. The rpm stays constant, even under heavy load, for consistent quality at all times.
