GRINDING / POLISHING APPLICATIONS -

The grinding star FAPI-STAR is made of highly flexible 4 mm wide offset slitted strips of high-quality aluminium oxide abrasive cloth laid reciprocally one on the other. Different grain sizes can be used. The strips can be fixed using a plastic flange or a sturdy rivet. Grinding stars may be assembled from individual elements in any desired width. Operation The desired working width automatically determines the number of grinding stars to be installed on a shaft or mandrel. The grinding stars must be broken on a sharp edge before work can begin. The speed is decisive when working with grinding stars. A higher speed increases stiffness of the grinding star, which increases the aggressiveness. In contrast, the full flexibility of the grinding star’s cloth can be used in the medium and lower speed ranges. The result is a very fine finish ideally suited for pre-grinding before waxing, polishing and painting. Applications Generally, grinding stars are the ideal tool for deburring or...

The flange connector is required for the use of grinding and polishing tools on a grinding and polishing machine with conical shaft. It makes it possible to change the tools used (contact wheels, polishing rings, felt wheels, flap wheels, etc.) on the grinding and polishing machine extremely quickly. Applications Tools equipped with a flange connector bushing are simply pushed onto the conical shaft and possibly aligned with a soft hammer made of plastic or copper. The soft hammer must also be used for dismantling in order to remove the tools from the conical shaft with simple and light blows. Too hard blows can damage the malleable cast iron flange bushing. Special feature In most cases, the flange connector is mounted on a motor shaft located to the right of the motor. However, since there are also grinding and polishing machines where the motor shaft is on the left, a malleable cast iron flange bushing with a left-hand thread must be used here. To tighten the nut of a...

FOR A WIDE RANGE OF OPERATING CONDITIONS Our factory manufacture to the highest quality standards a full range of pistons and piston rods in stainless or alloy steels, aluminum and cast iron, for a broad range of applications and operating conditions. Experienced technical knowledge of compressor design and operation ensures that the optimum materials, surface treatments and sealing components are selected for each application. FEA analysis is used to ensure the design meets all of the highest engineered standards to guarantee product integrity and quality. Piston and Rod Reconditioning All pistons and rods are inspected to assess how to proceed with reconditioning and to ensure their suitability for re-use. Piston reconditioning may include re-machining of grooves and re-anodizing. Rod reconditioning may include machining, grinding, polishing and the application of specialized spray coatings. Finally, all parts are re-assembled including piston and rider rings.

Boride grinding and polishing stones for all shaping and fine work on tools and contours on steel and non-ferrous metals.
