Fladder will present a new stand-alone sanding unit for manual use or operated by a robot at JEC World 2023
FLADDER® GS – is a new stand-alone sanding unit for manual use or operated by a robot. The unit has a free 250 mm lock-itTM spindle on which FLADDER® tools of up to dia. 400 mm may be used.
The sanding result is achieved by the combination of the abrasive tool and the rpm of the tools. The speed of the tools is adjustable by means of a frequency converter. Laminated, tempered glass is used as shielding of the tools and gives the operator a good overview of the process.
Dust is led away through an exhaust manifold.
To achieve perfect working conditions the position of the abrasive tools, the dust exhaust manifold and the glass shield can be adjusted.
A finish sanding offers savings on coating/paint and improves the bonding:
Under a microscope a CFRP surface looks like a “grand canyon” – see photo.
The variation between the highest and lowest point is in this case up to 300 micron.
A finish sanding is changing this to a smooth “landscape” with a variation of only 25 micron. – see photo.
It offers some advantages:
- Reduced amount of coating or paint because there are less deep spots to be filled.
- The bonding of paint (or glue) is improved due to the fine scratches left after the finish sanding.
