The FLEX PXCE polishing machine combines three different operating modes in one machine: rotary polishing, free-spinning dual-action polishing and forced-rotation dual-action polishing. The 535578 set already includes the various interchangeable drives, several backing plates, batteries and a charger. This gives you an especially versatile system for virtually all polishing work – from targeted sanding and intensive defect correction to a hologram-free high-gloss finish. Comprehensive FLEX PXCE 18-EC complete set Rotary, free-spinning dual-action and forced-rotation operation in one machine 3, 6 and 12 mm orbital throws Forced-rotation dual-action drive with a 6 mm throw 30, 50 and 75 mm backing plates included in the set Tool-free quick-change system 18 V battery system for cordless operation 2 x 2.5 Ah battery packs included CA 12/18 charger included Intuitive touch panel for speed adjustment Integrated three-stage LED light with 2,500 to 6,500 K Brushless motor for high efficiency and long service life Ideal for professional vehicle preparation, body shops and detailing The new generation after the well-known FLEX PXE 80 The FLEX PXCE 18-EC is the consistent further development and successor to the well-known FLEX PXE 80 mini polisher. The successful concept of a compact machine with interchangeable drives has been transferred to the powerful FLEX 18 V platform and expanded with additional applications. The proven FLEX PXE 80 will remain available and is particularly suitable for users looking for an especially small and lightweight machine for intricate work. By contrast, the FLEX PXCE is aimed at users who want to cover a significantly wider range of applications with a single cordless tool. Thanks to different backing plate sizes and drive types, the machine can be used on small, hard-to-reach painted areas as well as larger sections. The Super Set 535578 for maximum flexibility The major advantage of the FLEX PXCE 18-EC Set 535578 lies in its extensive scope of delivery. While the basic equipment 535577 is supplied with only selected components, set 535578 contains the different drives for rotation, free-spinning dual-action and forced rotation, as well as various backing plates. Batteries and charger are also included in the set. This means that the full potential of the FLEX PXCE can be used virtually straight away. This is particularly interesting for professional detailers: instead of using several separate machines for different work steps, the PXCE can be adapted to the task at hand by quickly changing the drive. This provides the right operating mode for heavier defects as well as for small painted areas, complex contours or the final finish. Three drive types in a single FLEX polishing machine The FLEX PXCE polishing machine combines three fundamentally different polishing principles. In rotary mode, the backing plate rotates directly and delivers high correction power. In free-spinning dual-action mode, the machine combines an oscillating movement with especially controllable polishing characteristics. In addition, a forced-rotation dual-action drive with a 6 mm throw is available, in which the rotation of the backing plate is actively driven. This combination allows the PXCE to be used for a wide variety of paint conditions and work steps. In professional detailing in particular, this enables an efficient workflow, as in many cases only the drive or backing plate needs to be changed. Rotary operation for maximum and precise correction For rotary work, the FLEX PXCE provides direct power transmission, making it ideally suited to demanding correction work. Depending on the backing plate used, small paint defects can be treated with great precision or larger sections can be processed efficiently. Backing plate sizes of 30, 50 and 75 mm are possible for rotary work. The compact design offers particular advantages on bumpers, mirror caps, A- and B-pillars, spoilers, entry areas and other complexly shaped vehicle parts. Free-spinning dual-action with a 3, 6 or 12 mm throw As a free-spinning dual-action polisher, the FLEX PXCE 18-EC can be used with different throws. The set includes the corresponding drives for 3, 6 and 12 mm orbital throws. This allows the machine's behaviour to be precisely adapted to the task at hand. A small throw is particularly suitable for controlled work on small or intricately shaped surfaces. The larger 12 mm throw, on the other hand, enables more efficient processing of suitable paint areas. This allows the machine to be used for both defect correction and fine finishing work. Forced-rotation dual-action with a 6 mm throw Another special feature is the forced-rotation dual-action drive with a 6 mm throw. Unlike a free-spinning dual-action drive, the rotation of the polishing plate is actively driven. This means the movement is maintained even under load. Forced rotation is therefore particularly interesting for demanding areas and users who want a combination of good correction performance and an orbital polishing movement. In forced-rotation mode, backing plate sizes of 30, 50 and 75 mm can be used. This also allows this operating mode to be flexibly adapted to the size of the respective painted area. Tool-free quick-change system The innovative quick-change system of the FLEX PXCE allows the different drives to be changed without additional tools. This concept is precisely what turns the compact cordless polisher into an especially versatile polishing system. Switching between rotary, free-spinning dual-action and forced-rotation operation can be carried out quickly. This saves time in everyday work and reduces the number of machines required. This flexibility is a major advantage, particularly during complete vehicle preparation, where differently sized areas and various defect patterns need to be processed. 30, 50 and 75 mm – for small details and larger areas With its different backing plate sizes of 30, 50 and 75 mm, the FLEX PXCE set covers a wide range of vehicle preparation applications. Small plates enable highly precise work in tight and angled areas, while the 75 mm plate allows larger sections to be processed much more efficiently. The FLEX PXCE is therefore suitable for mirror caps, door handles and handle recesses, bumpers, narrow pillars, spoilers, entry areas and numerous other sections where conventional large polishers reach their limits. Intuitive touch panel and controlled machine start The speed of the FLEX PXCE 18-EC is adjusted using an intuitive touch panel. A lock function prevents accidental operation. The machine also features a variable-speed trigger that enables a slow and controlled start. This allows the machine to be applied in a controlled manner and the polish to be distributed cleanly across the surface. For longer polishing jobs, the switch can be locked for continuous operation. The combination of electronic control and ergonomic operation makes the PXCE suitable for both short detail work and longer polishing processes. Integrated LED light with three colour temperatures A three-stage LED light with a colour temperature of 2,500 to 6,500 Kelvin is integrated directly into the machine. This provides additional illumination of the paint surface during work. The different colour temperatures make visual inspection easier on different paint colours and under varying lighting conditions. Good lighting is particularly important during finishing or when checking previously treated paint areas, as it helps identify any remaining polishing marks or defects. Brushless motor and optimised motor concept The FLEX PXCE uses a brushless motor that combines high efficiency with a long service life. A newly developed motor concept is designed to minimise noise and vibration. This improves operating comfort, especially during longer periods of use. The Electronic Management System (EMS) protects the machine, extends its service life and increases efficiency. Optimally positioned SoftGrip surfaces allow different grip positions and support safe, controlled guidance of the polishing machine. Technical data of the FLEX PXCE 18-EC Despite its extensive range of applications, the FLEX PXCE remains compact. The machine operates with the FLEX 18 V battery system and, depending on the operating mode, reaches the speeds and stroke rates required for correction and finishing work.
