Automatic grinding, precise cutting

Can your cutting results keep up with the increasing demands for accuracy and precision? The most important prerequisite for this is a perfectly ground cutting tool. However, manual grinding is time-consuming and requires special expertise. Errors quickly lead to unsatisfactory results, can damage the bandknife and in the worst case even cause production downtime.

But don’t worry: With our automatic grinding unit, you optimize your processes and ensure precise cutting results at all times.

No manual handling

The knife is automatically ground and the heels always remain in the correct ratio.

Longer service life

Band knives and cup grinding stones are only ground as far and as often as necessary. This increases the service life.

Economical and scalable

The preset modes of the grinding unit are tailored precisely to your application. This means fewer knives are required.

Optimized work processes

Increase your machine availability and produce without downtime: thanks to automatic grinding, cutting always continues.

Consistent performance

Reinforced cup grinding stones increase the grinding performance: Your knives are ground faster and also kept sharp.

New or retrofit

Our automatic grinding unit is available both as an option for new machines and for retrofitting used machines.

Smarter grinding: Machine modernization with Bäumer

Our automatic grinding unit consists of a unit with two grinding motors (0.75 kW), two servomotors, two pneumatic rotation cylinders and two reinforced cup grinding stones with a diameter of 150 mm and a wall thickness of 15 mm. The intelligent control system is housed in a separate switch cabinet. It monitors itself and grinds the band knife in optimum cycles.

Operate the grinding machine easily using the touch panel and choose between three preset modes:

1. Heavy grinding

After changing knives or when cutting rubber or cork and rubber rebonds.

2. Normal grinding

When cutting harder materials such as PU rebond foams with high densities and PE materials.

3. Polishing

When cutting PU foams with light cutting pressure and high quality requirements for the cut surface (e.g. for the automotive industry).

The cup grinding stones are cleaned fully automatically with two pneumatically operated cylinders and trueing diamonds. This ensures a constant bevel and consistent sharpness of the band knife at all times.

Want even more? Our special functions "cup grinding stones change and diamond screw change" enable quick and easy replacement of wear parts.

Grinding unit as a retrofit: Also for your foam cutting machine?

Our automatic sanding unit is not only available for new machines, but also as a retrofit for your old Bäumer machine. If your machine is not included in the following list, we can also retrofit other models on request.

The quality requirements on cutting results are high and rising further, especially in the automotive sector. Accurate cutting within narrow margins of tolerance is essential in order to obtain a quality product. A good cutting result requires a flawless cut surface without any rippling or mismarkings

FAQ

Would you like to know more about our automatic grinding unit? We welcome your questions! We have also summarized some of the most frequently asked questions for you here:

Is it necessary to upgrade the system so that the retrofit can be installed?

No, that is not necessary. We supply our automatic grinding unit with a separate switch cabinet in which all drives are already installed.

Does the size of the cup grinding stones change?

Yes, the diameter changes from 125 mm to 150 mm. The wall thickness also increases from 8 mm to 15 mm.

Can the time intervals of the dressing process be adjusted?

In principle, yes. However, we have already equipped our automatic grinding unit with optimized default settings based on many tests and investigations. We recommend retaining these. However, adjustments can be made if there are special requirements.

What do I need to bear in mind for maintenance?

The maintenance of our grinding machine is comparable to that of a normal grinding unit. The most important thing: The grinding elements and the filter must always be kept clean and the water for the grinding dust extraction must be refilled. The cup grinding stones should also be checked regularly.

How much does the machine conversion cost?

That depends entirely on the machine. We would be happy to provide you with a customized quote!
