Case History

Sanding machine

The casing sander is specifically designed for the internal sanding of anti-aircraft missile casings.
The machine is composed of a motorized supporting structure, a sanding system, a dust extraction system and a fixed perimeter protection.

The supporting structure allows the locking of the single casing by means of a self-centering spindle and its rotation at an adjustable speed up to 60 rpm. The sanding rod system, equipped with 60 grit sandpaper, moves on the X-axis at an adjustable speed up to 5 m/minute and, once inside the casing, moves on the Y-axis by means of a pneumatic system for sanding and dust extraction. Pneumatic pressure adjustment systems are provided during sanding to avoid defects in the processing.

A color touch operator panel allows the setting of recipes for the automatic loading of the processing parameters.
