It can achieve Italian semi-open effect, saw tooth effect, super and high lights effect with diversity sanding requirements. When it replaced from manual labor sanding to machine sanding, the finished products pass rate can reach 99%.

The piano key sanding machine is also equipped with a servo motor lifting system, achieving a processing accuracy of 0.01mm. It is combined with automatic floating conveying and an automatic compensation function for 1mm thickness, suitable for sanding equal amounts of high-end wood veneer, water-based paint / oil-based paint composite boards, etc.

Designed specifically for the sanding and polishing process after wood veneer bonding, it can be directly integrated with the UV coating line.

It is mainly used for the sanding and polishing of the base coat of flat solid wood furniture and wood veneer panel materials. It can effectively solve the problems of particles and run-off on the base coat surface, creating a smooth base for the application of topcoat, and is the core equipment for the final process of the entire wood veneer bonding procedure.

How to select the suitable wood veneer sander machine? it depends on working requirements, production scale, equipment configuration, and budget cost. It can prevent from the blind selecting model which may cause output wasting or effect not reaching the requirements.

Wood Veneer thickness suitable: If process the thin wood veneer less than 0.5mm, first choosing the vacuum function thin wood veneer specialized sanding machine to prevent from snipe or loss of wood veneer. If process the thickness wood veneer with solid wood as basic material, you can choose thicknesser planer combination with fineness sanding machine.
Surface precision requirements: If the main focus is on high-gloss and skin-like finishes, priority should be given to piano-key type segmented sanding machines, combined with herringbone sand belts to achieve high gloss and skin-like polishing effects; if only a basic finish is to be achieved with a standard thickness sanding process, a standard thickness sanding machine will suffice.
Process compatibility: If a primer sanding process is required, an up-floating paint sanding machine must be additionally equipped to complete the entire process from the veneer to the paint.

Small scale customized production: first choose the manual or semi-automatic sanding machine due to its flexibility as well as the applicable for solid wood and plywood, etc single side process. What’s more, there is small area covering with lower investment cost.
Medium  scale normal production: You can choose thicknesser sander for single frame, for it can make fineness as well as output.

Large scale quantity output: it is usually used in large furniture and decoration profile plate factory, so you’d better choose double frame sanding machine or multiple frame even 3 or 4 frame sanding machine, piano keyboard sander machine, which can be integrated into the automatic production line. It can make continuously production. What’s more, if it adopts double sides sanding machine, it will improve more efficiency.

Core Function configurations: Thin wood veneer process must be paid attention to vacuum absorbing function, and all model type of machine should first choose the automatic correction function to prevent wood veneer and sanding belts from deviation during conveyoring process and ensure the production precision. The model machine must equip with the standard independent dust collecting systems to reduce the pollution of the working flow room.

Core Auxiliary Brands: First Choosing the international well-known brands model such as Germany Siemens PLC control system, German Festo air control system, German FAG bearings, German Obit synchronous belts, Italian seamless rubber conveyors, etc., which can significantly enhance the operational stability and service life of the equipment.

Main body and structure frame: First choose whole body casting with timely dealing machine, which can prevent from deformation under long periods running so as to guarantee the long stability of polishing precision.

The small furniture plants with limit budget can choose the high performance model, and guarantee the core configurations. The company that is with big and large scale for high output requirements should choose high end piano keyboard sander machines types and models.

For those company has the remote installation guide or maintenance with directly sales as well as pay attention to the easy wear resistance spare parts to prevent from loss when the machine is under stop.

The standard installation is the basic guarantee for the sander machine precision and long period running with long service life, some steps should be obey strictly:

Choose flat and hardness work plants ground for horizontal putting of the wood veneer laminating equipment in case of precision deviation by long time running and shaking.

In time preparation for installation area and leave out for enough operation, maintenance and feeding in/out space areas.
Prepare the corresponding electricity,  air energy, ensuring the standard in case of electricity leaking risk.

Obey the instructions to install the main body frame, motive roller, drive roller, chain bearings, Core components such as the deceleration unit and the electrical control cabinet, ensure all parts fixed tightly with screw bolts without loosing.

Ensure the proper connection of the power supply and control system, strictly implement grounding protection, and separate the high-voltage and low-voltage lines for laying to avoid signal interference.
The pneumatic type automatically completes the connection of the gas supply pipeline and tests the sealing performance of the gas path, with no leakage.

Vacuum Dust Collecting System is the necessary auxiliary equipment, which can reduce the dust pollution effectively in factory as well as protect the health of workers. Besides, it can prevent the dust into the transmission spare parts that may leads abrasion. The installation steps is as below:

Prepare the material in advance such as adaptive diameter vacuum hoses, connecting pipes, stainless steel clamps, screwdrivers and other tool materials, etc. The diameter of the dust collection pipe should be matched with the dust collection port of the equipment and the power of the fan to ensure sufficient suction force.

Insert the suction pipe socket into the connecting pipe socket. Ensure a proper and tight connection. Use a stainless steel clamp to lock the connection area to prevent air leakage.

Connect one end of the assembled dust collection pipeline to the dust collection port of the sanding machine, and the other end to the dust removal main unit. Securely fix and lock it with clamps to ensure a firm connection.

After the entire pipeline has been installed, check the sealing performance of all connection points one by one, and reinforce the areas with leaks.

Start the sanding machine and the dust removal system. Conduct a real machine test to evaluate the dust collection effect. Adjust the position and angle of the dust collection pipe to ensure that all the dust generated during sanding can be fully collected and there is no dust leakage.
