El lijado de superficies planas barnizadas es una operación habitual en la industria de la madera, los tableros y la fabricación de mobiliario. Este trabajo se realiza mediante máquinas lijadoras de planos, también llamadas lijadoras de contacto, que emplean bandas abrasivas de papel de grandes dimensiones. Aunque viéndolas en funcionamiento pueda parecer un proceso sencillo, el lijado del barniz en este tipo de máquinas requiere de ciertos conocimientos y técnica para lograr un lijado...

Como en cualquier trabajo o aplicación conocer las técnicas básicas es necesario para conseguir el resultado esperado. Del mismo modo sucede también en los trabajos de lijado con lijadora de disco, una operación sencilla, que, por lo general, no requiere de grandes destrezas por parte del operario. Sin embargo, lijar de forma incorrecta puede generar una serie de problemas que darán lugar a una superficie con un acabado deficiente e irregular. Evitar los problemas más comunes durante el...

Currently, one of the materials that stands out the most from the rest is the solid surface, which provides a total solution to carry out unique, innovative interior design designs with risky shapes. The surface finish then becomes a decisive element for companies.

The new applications in today's surface coatings, the combination of different materials and the variety of surprising finishes made have a meeting point: “the need to carry out a precise, technical and demanding sanding that allows us to achieve the perfection of the surfaces ". Discover below the 5 advantages that a qualified abrasives manufacturer-transformer can offer you:

A good sanding and optimal surface preparation are not enough to achieve a good finish on a varnished piece, but we avoid dust particles are present during the painting process. For this reason, we must ensure that the air in the painting booths is properly filtered and avoids additional costs, time and money, as a consequence of having to reprocess the defective painted parts.

Sanding brushes, with interchangeable strip system, are commonly used for sanding wooden surfaces, varnished surfaces, fiberboards, plastic parts, composites and metal sheets.

When we refer to stainless steel we are faced with a material with innumerable uses and applications in the industrial, commercial and domestic fields

Sanding brushes, with interchangeable abrasive strips, are increasingly used for sanding all types of raw wood surfaces, varnished wood, metal or composite materials.

In this article, we introduce you to the main critical points in the manufacture of sanding belts, which can lead to low quality of the abrasive belt, and especially in the area of ​​the joint or joint.

Stearate is a chemical ingredient, in the form of a white powder, that is used as a dry lubricant. This zinc or calcium powder is applied, diluted in water as a soapy liquid, on some abrasive papers, thus providing a special coating layer with non-stick effects.

Abrasive wheels were once a true revolution in sanding curved or shaped parts and profiles, replacing hand sanding operations with sanding machines equipped with wheels.

In this article we are going to focus on those manual applications that are carried out by using portable rotorbital machines; and in particular to learn more about flexible abrasive discs and the importance of their supports.

Plane sanders, also called contact sanders or belt sanders, are sanding machines for industrial use. They are used for sanding flat surfaces for their subsequent treatment and finishing.

The process of sanding by hand is simple and does not require great technique. It should be remembered that with sanding we get the following benefits...

The main advantage of this machine is great flexibility and a high working speed to be able to face all kinds of orders, with a great variation in formats and sizes.

Knowing which abrasive mineral we should use for each material during sanding work is important not only to avoid damaging the surfaces, but also so that the sanding operation is more efficient, effective and as a consequence takes up the shortest possible time; which is appreciated since sanding is a monotonous task, which takes time and generates discomfort and pain in the hands on many occasions.

Like all work tools, abrasive belts used incorrectly can be very dangerous. To avoid situations of risk and personal injury, it is advisable to take into account the advice shown below.

Abracom invests in improvements to the abrasive belt manufacturing plant, with the addition of the Biko Meccanica grinding machine

One of the most widely used options in the industry are coated abrasives, which are transformed into abrasive belts for use in stationary or stationary machines.

The use of hand or portable sanders has been essential for many years in many industrial sectors. However, in recent times its domestic use has been gaining more and more presence. Discover the multiple uses that can be made of these versatile devices.
