Finishing Technology

The ZBS - Series

Products and Key Features

The most commonly sold machine is the simple but very efficient ZBS series grinder, featuring a twin belt to grind and finish each surface of a part in one setup. The machine requires certain practice and hand skills. Still the obtainable finishes even for an untrained worker are far superior in quality and productivity to hand finishing.

Especially well suited for applications in stainless steel and Aluminum, parts of almost any shape can be finished to the surface appearance your customer desires. Parts can be held with a multitude of fixtures and supports into a stable and ergonomic position

Either hand pads or the integrated pressure pads on a slide are used to apply defined pressure on to the part. The pressure pads are moved in x direction while the part on the table or in the fixture moves in the y direction. A motorized traverse is available for larger work pieces

The machines feature long belts allowing the operator to bend them flexibly around the edges of the part. Precision engineered rolls guide the abrasive securely over three points, to give the operator maximum and safe access to the working area. The tension of each belt is pneumatically controlled and infinitely adjustable.

The machine is available in various sizes and the accessories have to be selected according to the specific application of each customer. Please review the table with technical data below.
