Long Belt Grinding Machine Type LBS

Large surface grinding

Kuhlmeyer Belt Grinding Machines to process large-sized sheets either graining and finishing surfaces or to dress weld seams, either in automatic or manual operations.

Long Belt Grinding Machine Type LBS

The Long-Belt Grinding Machine is designed for the automated surface grinding of even wavy plates and sheets (cooling plates or mashes), as well as seam weld grinding. The flexible machine concept, with one or two belt grinding units, fixed or movable machine frame, will be designed to customer needs.

The surface grinding is the precondition for the functional process flow, i.e. for production of composite materials by rolling or explosion cladding, or for production of acid resistant surface with specified qualities. Even to create an Anti-Slip surface by cross grain or design-surfaces on parts out of steel, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, copper etc. and other contact-area preparation for following production process.

Advantages of the Long Belt Grinding Machine Type LBS:

High quality surface grinding on large sized (wavy) blanks, even with cutouts and shaped forms
With the state of the art grinding belts a high removal rate by constant quality can be reached. There is only a very low heat influence on the material surface, which grants a highly acceptance for further welding and surface protection without additional work required
The grinding belt reaches a speed up to 25 m/s
Due to the big working area and drive units, even large sized workpieces can be machined in one operation without separate setup
Controls S7 with OP-Panel is easily and safe to use from Operator
All Parameters, like dimensions, speeds, pressure, removal profiles, overlapping etc. are easy to program and setup
Additionally a second hand pendant can be used for setup and teach-in of new programs
Track guiding can be embedded in the floor to reach a smooth and even surface without any trip hazards for operators and vehicles
Quick and simple change of grinding belt by self-centering belt run
