STUDY CASES FOR GRINDING, SANDING AND LINISHING

ROBOTIC SYSTEM FOR THE GRINDING OF TAPS

This robotic system is designed to automate the tap grinding process. It has great elasticity thanks to the two triple grinder units and the pliers designed to reproduce all human movements.

GRINDING, SANDING, LINISHING AND BELTING

Usually grinding or sanding is the preparatory operation to subsequent surface treatments. Grinding means improving the surface through a series of abrasive material passages in a sequence of grits, going from big grits (P24-P32-P60-P80-P100), intermediate grits (P120-P150-P180-P220) up to thin grits (P320-P400-P600).
The workpiece, once it has undergone the frosting treatment, may be finished or may undergo subsequent treatments such as polishing.

TYPEs OF PROCESSING

The tools used for grinding are:
– Abrasive tapes in canvas;
– Abrasive tapes in paper;
– Lamellar wheels in canvas;
– Discs or wheels.

 

In belt grinding it is very important to choose the contact wheel. The combination of contact wheels with the right abrasive belt allows to obtain the best result.

 

There are multiple contact wheels:
– Vulkollan® wheels;
– Vulkollan® wheels and sponge;
– Neoprene wheels;
– Smooth and grooved rubber wheels.
