With the help of the planetary head units, workpieces made of wood and wooden composite, from metal and mineral composites, e.g. corian, can be polished free of streaks.

essential features

The actual sanding machine, a disc-shaped brush with vertical axis and vertical sanding lamellas, pivots around its own axis and is being simultaneously moved on an orbit by a disc. The overlapping of rotation and orbit leads to a blurring of the stress marks.

The flexible sanding lamellas facilitate sanding profiled surfaces.

construction and function

linear hung up planet-sanding units

For sanding wood and metal such planet-sanding unites find usage which are arranged over the entire sanding width on a linear carrier.

rotating hung up planet-sanding units

The company Hans Weber constructs a planetary head for sanding Corian. It consists of a round carrier rotating in the horizontal. On this carrier 6 cantilevers are attached to. Each cantilever is equipped with a motor. This motor moves via a planetary gear as well as the disc-shaped holding fixture of the polishing tools as well as the polishing tools in a rotating motion. Each of the holding fixture carries 6 polishing discs. With this unit the rotation of the sanding tools overlap with the orbit, as well as the orbit of the carrier with the orbit of the planetary gear. The overlapping of the rotational motion also ensures that the polishing tools always meet the workpiece edge in an optimal angle. Thus the processing result is independent from the shape of the workpiece. Except for this published image, there is no other source to this unit.

distribution

Until today, 2016, the deployment of planetary heads in wide belt sanders and narrow belt sanding machine of the following manufacturer. Please contact us, if you have any further information of the distribution of planetary heads with the wood grinder.
