Wide Belt Sander findustry 1352 smartouch

The combination unit with a roller diameter of 140 mm is used for the calibration of solid wood. The electro-pneumatic sanding pad is lowered on to the workpiece at the exact correct height for the sanding process. This prevents veneered surfaces from being sanded through, at the front and rear. The machines can also be equipped for intermediate lacquer sanding.

With a segment width of 27 mm and innovative silicone technology, the electro-pneumatic segmented sanding shoe ensures optimum sanding results and lower compressed air consumption. The pressure of the sanding pad can be individually adjusted in increments of 0.1 bar from the machine infeed side.

The Superfinish Unit features a sanding cushion with a felt glide coating (chevron belt). This glide belt applies an even softer sanding pressure on the workpiece and is used predominantly for the sanding of lacquered workpieces and for high-gloss materials. The completely uniform pressure, levels out all oscillation marks and guarantees a homogenous sanding result. An electro-pneumatic sanding belt oscillation ensures optimal centring and smooth running. Cutting speed 2.4 - 19 m/s, sanding belt 1370 x 2620 mm.

 

The cross belt sanding aggregate which is included in the standard equipment and equipped with an electro-pneumatic sanding pad and chevron belt, is particularly suited for the processing of lacquered surfaces and high gloss production. Rough wood fibres that cross the grain are removed by the sanding belt and the subsequent wide belt then smoothes the surface. The cross sanding direction ensures that there are considerably less wood fibres and that a noticeably smoother end result is achieved.

The completely uniform pressure, levels out all oscillation marks and guarantees a homogenous sanding result. An electro-pneumatic sanding belt oscillation ensures optimal centring and smooth running. Cutting speed 3 - 22 m/s, sanding belt 150 x 5000 mm.

The planet sanding unit achieves a perfect finish, especially with crossed grains. The texturing, edging and sanding of these grains is retained, thus achieving a homogeneous superfinish of the surface. The respective, individually replaceable brushes, which are arranged like a planetary system, can be replaced separately and thus allow even more flexibility and diverse production applications.

These can be added to every sanding aggregate and enable a uniform pressure on the workpiece against the feed table, which is particularly important for thin workpieces. Additionally it also reduces the minimum length of the workpiece that can be processed.

The clearly structured and intuitive display provides maximum productivity. The units and functions are clearly displayed on the 18" smartouch and the infeed height can be set accurately to a tenth of a millimetre. The display is also mounted on a swivel arm, which makes it even easier to operate from the side.

Additional highlights include:

• 100 program memory spaces
• Control of the units
• Adjustment of the feed speed
• Setting of the sanding height in increments of 0.1 mm
• Adjustment of the sanding pad parameters
• Maintenance intervals
• Plain text error messages

This wireless option makes it possible to measure the workpiece in front of the machine The thickness is directly transmitted ‘wirelessly’ to the machine and therefore ensures the most precise processing as well as eliminating operator errors.

As standard, the feed speed can be continuously adjusted from the control panel between 2.8–20 m/min. The fixed infeed table height of 900 mm guarantees simple and effortless work. Due to the consistent height, the machine can also be integrated into a processing line without any effort.

As an option, we are able to equip your Format4 wide belt sander with roller extension tables both on the infeed and outfeed side.

Maximum process reliability guaranteed when setting the working height: As the workpiece is fed into the machine, the workpiece thickness is automatically adjusted by means of fibre optic and laser sensors. The measuring device adjusts the passage height exactly to the material thickness, deducting the desired chip removal.

BCO is a new feature for monitoring the wear of the sanding belt. The operator receives an indication as to which part of the sanding belt is less worn and can therefore feed the workpieces at this point - thus preventing irregular wear of the sanding belt.

The GLP is another new feature which can be added as an option to your wide belt sander. GLP assists in reducing the power consumption and provides the following benefits:

+ speed reduction of the sanding belt between work processes
+ automatic switch-off of the infeed belt
+ automatic signal for valve control of the extraction system
