Industrial top performance, freely configurable
FORMAT-4 findustry 1352 | 1353 | 1354 - The new wide belt sanding machines for individual requirements
The new FORMAT-4 wide belt sanding machines findustry convince in industrial use above all by the individually configurable combination of the units. The machine can be equipped with two, three or four units, precisely adapted to the specific use and the respective field of application. Thus, a high degree of customisation guarantees that all requirements are met with regard to surface finish and processing efficiency.
Maximum operating comfort in industrial use.
The clearly structured touch screen control can be operated intuitively. All machine functions are clearly shown graphically on the digital display. The infeed thickness can be set to the tenth of a millimetre directly from the control panel at the touch of a button. The automatic thickness measurement facilitates adjustment of the machine to the desired workpiece thickness. The workpiece is measured without any additional measuring devices and the thickness is then directly transmitted "wirelessly" to the machine. A vacuum table, table extensions with rollers on the inlet and outlet sides as well as optional pressure shoes on the sanding units ensure the best possible comfort and ideal machining conditions for workpieces in every format.

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.
A Touch-screen control is available as an option for maximum operating comfort. The clearly structured and intuitive control panel provides maximum productivity. The machine functions that are available are shown graphically and controlled using high quality switches. The infeed thickness is clearly shown on the digital display and by using the push button can be adjusted with an accuracy of 0.1 of a millimetre.
Automatic thickness measurement facilitates adjustment of the machine to the desired workpiece thickness. The workpiece is measured directly on the machine without additional measuring devices being required. The required sanding depth can be set in + or - using the adjustment wheel. This wireless option makes it possible to measure the workpiece in front of the machine. The thickness is transferred wirelessly to the machine.
A cutterblock planing head is available as an option, as the first processing unit for maximum cutting performance. Activation and deactivation is carried out from the central control panel.
A profiled contact roller (D = 180mm and 85° shore) guarantees maximum accuracy with minimum tolerance when calibrating.
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.
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 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.
Additional to the contact roller, the combination super finish aggregate also has 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.
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 2.4 - 19 m/s, sanding belt 150 x 4550 mm.
As an option, on the delivery side of the machine, it is possible to set up a brushing facility. Different brushes can be inserted and their task is to clean, polish or structure the workpiece surface.
The wide belt sander can also be equipped with a vacuum table which is particularly useful for smooth, small or thinner workpieces. The vacuum is created by a high pressure fan which is coupled with the feed. The vacuum holds the workpiece through the holes in the vacuum feed belt.
As an option, we are able to equip your Format-4 wide belt sander with roller extension tables both on the infeed and outfeed side.
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.
