Where Can I Find Way Wipers For My Sharp SV-2412SX VMC

[AmericanMaker]

The way wipers on my 2011 Sharp SV-2412 VMC have deteriorated badly and I need to replace the rubber wipers on all axes asap. There is a 3-4 week lead time to get them from Sharp Industries. Anyone have an ideas where I can find wipers with the profile shown in the attached photos? I'm having a hard time finding that profile here in the USA. I found a (possible) match on made-in-china dot com and requested a free sample.

got mine from my manufacturer/local distributor
ordered them back in April i think and just came in on the container shipment, along with new ball screws. so 3-4 week isnt too bad.

Did you try Kabel-Schlepp ? They used to have a distributor in the US. Pretty nice way wipers.

I was able to buy 3 meters of wiper lip with the correct profile for $99.00 from BUWW. They were super responsive, they had what I needed in stock, and they will overnight it to me this morning .

Why 3 meters? They had a minimum order quantity. I'm good with that because I'll have plenty of material to make more wipers as needed.

$99.00, immediate availability, and extra material for future repairs from BUWW vs. $600, a 3-4 week lead time, and one set of wipers per axes from Sharp. That's a huge win for someone just getting started.

Thanks for all your input!
