We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Abrasive Belts",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Al extrusions automatically deburred economically from
RSA Entgrat- u. Trenn-Systeme, which we summarised at the time by saying "A deburring system with different automation levels uses a tool like a surface wire brush and is driven by a planetary gear reduces deburring to round 3s per end face".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Lubricant prolongs abrasive belt life from
Surface Technology: "Lubricant for abrasive belts with extreme pressure properties reduces friction between the belt and the workpiece and prevents the breakdown of the resin bonding the abrasive to the belt".
In December 2005, we covered the news from Surtech Surface Technology Products
concerning its Robotic wet abrasive grinding/wet polishing
- take a look at Wet abrasive band grinding applied to car trim
which says: "German robot cell manufacturer has developed a wet abrasive belt grinding (or 'linishing') process for car trim components, which considerably reduces material costs and improves quality".
Take a look also at the news release from Surtech Surface Technology Products, Robots abrasively finish, polish femoral knees,
as well as Range of deburring, finishing machines expanded from Surtech Surface Technology Products,
and Powerful abrasive grinder holds constant speeds from Surtech Surface Technology Products.
